Build Your Companies…With Good Boards

The Four Seasons of Your Start-Up…Autumn Begins! (reprise)
(Originally posted in 2012…thought of it as I picked my last tomato of the season yesterday!) The temperature outside my window last night dipped to 44, the crickets have stopped chirping and my wife told me that she “can’t manage … Continue reading

I’m going to get right to the point of this blog post. Sometimes, shocking information is best delivered in a no-nonsense, unapologetic manner. So, I’m just going to hit you with this right now and I just don’t want you … Continue reading
The Search for Serendipity…And Why It Matters To Your Venture
