Too many entrepreneurs I know still believe that that their great idea will carry the startup, and they may even minimize their own value, especially if they have introvert tendencies. Yet most investors agree that the “idea” is worth nothing alone, and it’s the entrepreneur execution that counts. Your personal life is now public.

Silicon Valley may still be the capital of technology with a mix of new (Google, Facebook) and old (Apple, HP) sprinkling the landscape. However, Silicon Valley isn’t the only place to grow technology innovators from the ground up. So many thinkers, developers and entrepreneurs want to bring their idea to life.

I have been close to the tech & startup sectors for more than 20 years and I can’t think of a period in which I felt more optimistic about the innovation and value creation I see in front of us. The movie, “The Social Network” might have had more of an impact on creating future entrepreneurs than any other event of the past 5 years.

This was in part due to a tremendously busy 30-day period for me (in which my overall writing has been down) and in part the inevitability of knowing that weighing in just tees me up to take abuse on one anonymous app called Secret. But my job is to understand technology and therefore you must use it to understand it. So so funny.

The startup has come up with an app now fully integrated with the giant social network and can be used to comment ,like, tag, browse through events, statuses, comments or swipe through videos as you rank them relevant or unwanted without leaving Facebook. The idea was getting mature and by end of June we had the first version.

The idea was that if you could put up a consumer site that was seen as the best place to consume content then people wouldn’t go to lower-quality or free sites to get it. Hulu emerged in the social networking era and yet Boxee has been way out in front in terms of creating social viewing experiences.

Other times the partner wants to test whether there is support before sinking in tons of due diligence time. If one vocal person blurts out, “just give us the details, we all know social networking&# don’t assume that person speaks for the entire room. But … watch out. Happy to do that.

Only one guy in the room knew – their tech lead. He told me in some combinations of device / OS / network they are crashing 4 times per 100. Once you churn a user due to stability or performance problems it can be hard to get them back. You’ll have no idea when you’re off course. I see this mistake all the time, actually.

Matthew spoke to us to give us a better idea of what the company offers and why it was started. What's the idea behind Zubican? It's a full-blown, B2B social network. You can link profiles together, rate and review companies, and reach outside companies with links. It's a problem for ad networks.

I get approached about clean tech or biotech periodically – I don’t focus on these. In ad tech there’s Seth Levine at Foundry Group and both Dana Settle & Ian Sigelow at Greycroft. But they were never going to be convinced anyways once they did due diligence and realized we’re not a SV-focused fund.
