The Pmarca Guide to Startups, part 4: The only thing that matters - pmarca *ARCHIVE* - bit.ly/1z2b3V
If you look at a broad cross-section of startups -- say, 30 or 40 or more; enough to screen out the pure flukes and look for patterns -- two obvious facts will jump out at you. First obvious fact: there is an incredibly wide divergence of success -- some of those startups are insanely successful, some highly successful, many somewhat successful, and quite a few of course outright fail. Second obvious fact: there is an incredibly wide divergence of caliber and quality for the three core elements of each startup -- team , product , and market . At any given startup, the team will range from outstanding to remarkably flawed; the product will range from a masterpiece of engineering to barely functional; and the market will range from booming to comatose.ResultsON
equity - Forming a new software startup, how do I allocate ownership fairly? - OnStartups - Stack Exchange
This is such a common question here and elsewhere that I will attempt to write the world's most canonical answer to this question. Hopefully in the future when someone on answers.onstartups asks how to split up the ownership of their new company, you can simply point to this answer. The most important principle: Fairness, and the perception of fairness, is much more valuable than owning a large stake. Almost everything that can go wrong in a startup will go wrong, and one of the biggest things that can go wrong is huge, angry, shouting matches between the founders as to who worked harder, who owns more, whose idea was it anyway, etc. That is why I would always rather split a new company 50-50 with a friend than insist on owning 60% because "it was my idea," or because "I was more experienced" or anything else.Dentre os muito tipos de negócios online, um dos que mais vemos por aí são CRM’s, contudo cada um procura ter um diferencial e alguns nem se preocupam com isso. A minha última conversa foi com Gustavo Paulillo, um dos fundadores do Agendor, CRM online gratuito, e falamos muito sobre como está sendo este caminho que ele está trilhando pela primeira vez. Início do negócio Como muitos negócios de sucesso, o Agendor partiu de uma necessidade interna. Em 2009, Júlio Paulillo trabalhava no desenvolvimento de um software para gerenciamento de clientes para a empresa onde o pai trabalhava, enquanto que paralelamente, o irmão Gustavo vinha atuando...

Don’t you ever wish there was a way to land on the first page of search results that didn’t involve the back-breaking work of traditional SEO? Well, ever since Google started giving more and more attention to its blended results , you have had an incredible opportunity to jump to the first page of results by creating video content. Studies have shown that videos were over 50 times more likely to appear on the first page of search results as part of the blended results. The bad news is that this pushes down web pages…the good news is if you jump on the advantage that videos give you in appearing on the first page then you can get a distinct advantage over your competition. Want to know the secret to getting big time-bloggers to reply to comments you leave on their blog? I’m talking about people like Brian Clark , Ramit Sethi and Danny Sullivan .
Quick Sprout — I'm Kind of a Big Deal
Eu já acompanhava a saga do #StartupDojo pelo twitters do @nukdf e do @marcosBeto , e de vez em quando me pegava lendo uns posts aqui no startupeiro. Era divertido e dava um certo orgulho ver todos os meus veteranos das épocas da universidade, com empresas sólidas e reconhecidas, se reunindo em prol de uma iniciativa empreendedora digital. Se reuniam para ver o que estavam fazendo de certo e o que fizeram de errado. E eu lá, acompanhando de longe, somente “consumindo” o resultado das reuniões – isto quando alguém postava no blog, né?

Startups: Casos de uso | Marcelo Toledo
Estou com uma estória bem fresca na cabeça que vai ajudar a ilustrar o tema casos de uso. O Man in the Arena é um vídeo podcast que fala sobre empreendedorismo, se você não conhece, deveria conhecer e assinar, o Leo Kuba e o Miguel Cavalcanti literalmente dão um show em cada programa. O episódio #23 foi demais, eles conversaram com a Bel Pesce , uma Brasileira que se formou no MIT e tem uma história brilhante. São poucas as pessoas que eu vejo falar com tanta sinceridade, empolgação e brilho nos olhos como ela. No meio do programa ela conta sobre a sua startup, a lemon.com , que digitaliza recibos de pagamentos através de um aplicativo no celular e organiza na web.How Mint Found Startup Success By Solving Real Problems

(This story appears on the Nov. 7, 2011 cover of Forbes.) Here’s that rare Steve Jobs story, one that’s never been told, about the company that got away. Jobs had been tracking a young software developer named Drew Houston, who blasted his way onto Apple’s radar screen when he reverse-engineered Apple’s file system so that his startup’s logo, an unfolding box, appeared elegantly tucked inside. Not even an Apple SWAT team had been able to do that. In December 2009 Jobs beckoned Houston (pronounced like the New York City street, not the Texas city) and his partner, Arash Ferdowsi, for a meeting at his Cupertino office. “I mean, Steve friggin’ Jobs,” remembers Houston, now 28.
