  • The Innovation Bubble: Copycats and “me too” startups

    When I talked earlier about why it might be better to start a tech company outside of Silicon Valley , perhaps the biggest point was avoiding the echo chamber. The fact that Yammer, a Twitter clone for the enterprise, had won the TechCrunch 50 conference, reinforces this point. Therese Poletti had a...

    I found this arrangement in my feed reader mildly amusing this morning: Fred Wilson's post on Mahalo.com directly above a post by Brad Feld entitled "The Computer Should Be Doing the Work for Us".

  • Getting the first penny

    Josh Kopelman says the first penny is the hardest . The truth is, scaling from $5 to $50 million is not the toughest part of a new venture - it’s getting your users to pay you anything at all . The biggest gap in any venture is that between a service that is free and one that costs a penny. (emphasis...
