New entrepreneurs who want to survive, and optimize the growth of their startups, need to think globally, and act locally, from day one. An international brand will command higher prices and additional customer demand. When buyers in one region start to slow down, look for buyers in other geographies to take up the slack.

Even though the color of their money is always green, all startup investors are not the same. Struggling entrepreneurs are often so happy to get a funding offer that they neglect the recommended reverse due diligence on the investors. Personally visit another startup funded by this investor. It’s no fun for either side.

New entrepreneurs tend to focus only on getting the product right, and assume that the right culture and ethics will come later simply by hiring good people. An ethical culture deals with managing values between the individual and the company, to best handle the inevitable conflicts that crop up in every business. Marty Zwilling.

For the past 5 years or so Google, Facebook and a handful of tech industry giants have been quietly buying scores of early-stage startups for their talent. And to keep up with the Jones’s it seems that Yahoo! And a few teams of super talented, educated and bright entrepreneurs make a few mill. And who cares, right?

Recently, Ive seen a lot of discussion about bringing the work back home, since costs have gone up in less-developed countries, there are issues with intellectual property, and time zone and language differences make management difficult. Its easy to find companies in certain countries that will quote cost reductions up to 75 percent.

We have heard that there are significant tax advantages in doing business offshore. All this sounds very enticing and many budding entrepreneurs can’t wait to fly to Paris or Shanghai to tap into the international markets. So, do take time to get to know your partner and their country and its customs.

My friends who “grew up” with lifetime careers in General Motors, Exxon Mobil, or even IBM, are now often too embarrassed to even mention it. On the other hand, everyone wants to be an entrepreneur. His focus is on entrepreneurs in America, but what he says applies to every other country as well. Next wave of economic expansion.

Or more precisely the people espousing the benefits of distributed startups teams are often distributed and therefore self rationalizing it. Been there.
