Back to blogging - Video from Business of Software

Hello to all my friends and readers, long time (since November 26, 2008)I have not published any articles … Sorry, I am investigating some new (at least for me) frameworks and technologies (Websphere, WII, DOJO, etc ...) on the fly while working on some interesting Web 2.0 project. So, there is absolutely no free time.

But anyway, I like to share with you some excellent video I have found - Everything I Know About Startups by Dharmesh Shah - OnStartups.com

1. Your idea can suck. Just get started.
2. You can be in the middle of nowhere and still build a great business.
3. Not having cash breeds good behavior. It’s helpful to have constraints.
4. In defense of the modest outcome: You don’t HAVE to build the next Facebook. Modest liquidity events are highly under-rated.
5. “I’m a complete introvert. It’s not that I don’t like people, I just don’t like being around them a whole lot.”
6. Something’ changed here. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to get your message out there.
7. The real issue with VC is not the cost of capital (which is high), but how hard it is to actually raise it.
8. You have to go through the 12 flaming hoops of venture capital.
9. All the time you should’ve been spending solving your customer’s problem, you use to start to solve the VC’s problem.
10. Write a blog, not a business plan.

Enjoy the great presentation.
