      3 Reasons NOT to Crowdfund

      Yes, crowdfunding is cool. It's democratic. It's disruptive. And it's a bad idea for a lot of start-ups. There are two completely different ways of looking at crowdfunding. It is either a) the best thing to happen to start-ups since Red Bull; or b) while sometimes useful, it’s no serious substitute for other sources of money, including family & friends. Even bootstrapping. This may not endear me to some of my friends, but increasingly, I lean towards the latter. Yes, I know, I know. Crowdfunding is revolutionary. It lets you raise funds without sacrificing ownership or having ...

      Facebook Might Spoil Yahoo's Acquisition Party

      Yahoo is eyeing the blogging platform Tumblr, but Facebook might beat it to the buzzer. It's beginning to look like Facebook might spoil Yahoo's acquisition party. The search giant has been eyeing Tumblr for awhile, according to All Things D, and CEO Marissa Mayer has been on an acquisition spree--ten companies to be exact--ever since she took the reigns nine months ago. According to sources close to the corporate development team, Yahoo believes Tumblr could bring them the key 18 to 24-year-old demographic it needs to seem relevant and youthful. However, David Karp, one of the blogging platform ...

      11 Social Entrepreneurs. A Ship. 13 Countries. 100 Days

      How Real People Make It Big
      Forget shiny objects and distractions. How people who grew up with nothing, people like you and me, build big-time success. There's way too much focus on amorphous concepts like leadership and entrepreneurship these days. If you spend enough time around successful executives and entrepreneurs, you quickly learn that none of them ever set out to become either. That's just not how it works. The more I think about it, if I came into the workforce now instead of 30 years ago, I'm not sure I would have made it. Frankly, the odds are much slimmer now. There ...

      Wharton management professor Matthew Bidwell talks with Inc. editor-at-large Leigh Buchanan about the nuances of measuring employee productivity. A recent newsletter from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School addressed the lack of clarity over what constitutes productivity in an office. Among other commentators, management professor Matthew Bidwell weighed in on the problems with using "crude numeric tools" to achieve desirable behavior. Inc. Editor-at-Large Leigh Buchanan spoke with Bidwell about the trouble with traditional productivity metrics. Organizations place so much emphasis on people developing their intellectual capital.

      3 Pillars of Valuation
      EBITDA multiples for your industry don't tell you much about what your particular company might be worth. Here's how to get a better idea -- and a better deal. The other day, an entrepreneur friend called me in frustration. He’d been trying to figure out what his company might be worth, and the best information he could find was that multiples in his industry were currently between four and six times EBITDA.” (That’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.) His point, which I thought was very fair, is that this resulted in a valuation range that ...

As smartphones continue their unimpeded march into the pockets of millions of worker bees, new modes and patterns of user behavior--good and bad--are evolving constantly. (Take ringtone download trends as a quick example.) BYOD or no BYOD, what people do with those phones all day (and night) can cross all kinds of lines with compliance, laws and regulations, company policies, and most frequently (and alarmingly), basic common sense.

      Lies Customers Tell and How to Use Them
      Customers lie because they secretly hope that you'll sell them something. Customers are human, which means that they sometimes bend the truth. Here are the most common lies that customers tell and how to use them to your sales advantage: Lie 1. "We're totally happy with our current vendor." No matter how much a customer claims to "love" their current vendor, they're always willing to consider a better alternative. Your job is to make it clear why you're the better alternative. Lie 2. "We don't have the budget." Unless the customer is actually bankrupt, what ...
