| No, Starting A Startup Is Not Cheaper Today Than Ever Before (Read) It's time to bust a few myths: It isn't much cheaper to launch a startup today than it was, too much capital can hurt your company, and, yes, the Series A Crunch was real. Jason Rowley reports for Mattermark. From the Investors Howard Lindzon of Stocktwits argues that Google culling its Fiber project is bad for American technology as it will leave last-mile monopolies intact in “Google Cuts Fiber…a Sad Day in American Technology History.” Alida Miranda-Wolff of Hyde Park Angels interviews former Vice Chair of Nielsen Susan Whiting to learn board management best practices in "What It Takes to Build the Best Board of Directors for Your Startup." Ash Rust of Trinity Ventures sketches out how startups should approach talent acquisition in "How to Hire Great People." Phin Barnes of First Round Capital describes the three places you might find yourself as a founder who just wasted a quarter in “How to miss your numbers.” From the Operators David Cancel of Drift pens an interesting article on SaaS pricing, discussing why his company took “non-consumption off the table” with a free tier in “How We're Thinking About Pricing.” Jason Cohen of WP Engine breaks down the latest crippling DDOS attack that broke the Internet, arguing there could be a silver lining present in “The optimistic case for IoT security standards.” Susan Crawford of Backchannel and Harvard Law digs further into the IoT question in the context of “smart cities,” asking if we properly understand the implicit cost/benefit equation in “What Last Week’s Internet Shut Down Really Means.” Sramana Mitra of 1Mby1M explores an upcoming public offering’s unconventional walk to Wall Street in “From Bootstrapping to IPO, BlackLine Shows the Way.” And in case you needed just a touch more IPO news, Mattermark has you covered in "66% Of 2016 Tech IPOs Are Under Their First Day Close, Falling An Average Of 30% From Highs." |
