I would like to share what i have learned in the last 3 years doing netvibes
1. Internet is a saturated market Learn how to deal with it Leave Old tricks to old media (seo, marketing, distribution deals) and leverage social tools Advertising ? Niche niche niche it’s easier to master during bad times
2 social attention is cannibalizing media attention (revenues) Faster execution on social nedia Take the social media consumers Opportunities for startups to generate b2b deals and consulting revenues
3 as an entrepreneur Review your goals as if you were starting your company now : are you adapted to the (sthity) situation ? if you do b2b deals, make sure to use your clients cash to improve your product, motivate your team and execute faster on your strategy : your team and your product is you main asset If you have vc, now is the best time to find out if it’s a good one.
Don’t forget A startup is about Passion Determination Performance Faster execution Rapid changes With less cash and less people than traditional companies
