It’s still popular these days for startup founders to operate in stealth mode, meaning no details about the idea or progress are shared with anyone until the big reveal and rollout. The common reason given is that this prevents any competitor from stealing their idea and beating them to market. In my view, this paranoid approach costs them much more than the risk of being open.

Every new business quickly realizes that revenue coming in every period on a committed basis is the Holy Grail to survival and growth.

Advertising your small business is the only surefire way to garner economic success. After all, if customers are never exposed to your brand, they’re incredibly unlikely to give you any of their hard-earned money.

As an investor, innovation is a term I certainly like to hear these days, but many of you entrepreneurs try to take it to the next level, by claiming to have a “ disruptive innovation.” What you probably don’t realize is that the term disruptive brings its own set of baggage, implying to investors extra high risk, high market building costs, and a long slow ramp before payback.

Perception is a powerful thing: What we do, where we live, which school we went to, which company we work for and who our clients are paint a picture of where we belong in people’s minds. Rightly or wrongly, perception is reality. Perception also informs finance. A thought experiment: You meet someone at a function and ask the obligatory question of what they do for a living.

As an early stage investor I look at A LOT of pitch decks. In the seven years since we started Homebrew there has been some evolution in this area – Docsend, videos, the occasional memo – but the lingua franca among founders and investors is still largely 10-25 slides with several expected sections.

Employee retention should always be near the top of the priority list for any owner of a small business or personnel manager at a larger company. It can be massively detrimental to any company to be continually looking to recruit, hire, and train new employees. This is also not to mention the amount of business you stand to lose while you are on the hunt for new employees to take the place of those who leave without giving much notice as a result of frustrations with their work environment.
