Top 5 things missing from most entrepreneur pitches
While I never did really stop seeing new deals, even when I was out of VC, now that I’m back in, I’ve really ramped up the deal flow engine. I’ve been enjoying the meetings I’ve had over the last few weeks, but some of them have reminded me what I routinely see missing from most pitches. Here are the things that nearly every early stage investor needs to bet on that are too often missing: 1) Strong sense of the key milestones – Entrepreneurs often ask what metrics they need to get to in order to get an investment.

Brazil's high-tech hub grows in Sao Paulo's Brooklin
(CNN) -- As the "B" in BRIC (one of the world's fastest-growing economies alongside Russia, India and China), Brazil may very well owe its force to an emerging business and technology district in the heart of Sao Paulo, centered around an upscale avenue called Luis Carlos Berrini in the neighborhood of Brooklin. The modern buildings of Morumbi in Brooklin line the Marginal highway along the Pinheiros River. "There's been a transformation from a sleepy outpost in Sao Paulo to perhaps the city's most dynamic area in terms of new growth, new buildings and new companies," observes Bill Hinchberger, the founding editor of Brazilmax, an online travel guide to Brazil. Of course, this transformation didn't happen overnight. Development began in the 1930's, from a quaint rural outpost to a middle-class residential neighborhood of predominantly single-family, chalet-style homes of German and British expatriates, alongside a favela. So is Berrini set to be Brazil's own up-and-coming Silicon Valley?

We hear about new location-sharing apps just about every week, but even with all these entrants, no one company has truly helped users easily link up with their friends while they’re out. On one side of the spectrum you have Foursquare for general location broadcasts and on the other side you have apps like Apple’s Find My Friends and SocialRadar for ubiquitous updates. Tag, a new app for iOS, wants to find the sweet spot in the middle where you can actively share your location with your friends without it feeling either too public or too invasive.
