You can have the best technology, but if customers don’t know you exist, or they don’t know how your technology solves a real problem for them, your startup will fail. Yet I see many technology entrepreneurs that focus on the basics of marketing too little and too late. Marketing is everything these days. Marty Zwilling.

It is never as rewarding when you’re the coach (but coaching has many other benefits ;-). They were looking for a collaboration tool to manage all of their large water development projects. They hired a consultant to help them with the review. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not a sore loser.

Inside the organization, it also pays to offer some of your time for coaching and mentoring to less experienced team members, as an entrée to a supportive relationship. I have seen too many careers and businesses fail due to projects that went off the rails. Hone your project management skills above all others.

You can have the best technology, but if customers don’t know you exist, or they don’t know how your technology solves a real problem for them, your startup will fail. In fact, this article was driven by a startup press release I just saw today, highlighting a startup’s “geo-fencing technology” as a new basis for discount coupons.

In my experience as a business advisor, one of the best ways to get all of these, is to publish a book on the technology, the journey, or some relevant lessons learned. Once you have a book, media coverage can come from book reviews and academic discussions, as well as from you and your customers.

In my experience, developers can be so committed to a technology, such as hydrogen engines for cars, such that they may be unwilling to change as the business pivots for market reasons. None of us can be accountable if we don’t know what is expected, or don’t have the required tools or training. Don’t pretend or actually be the victim.

Practice process coaching, but not edicting decisions. I recently was an advisor to a very strong technical executive who insisted on “being involved” in literally every decision in his startup. He ignored my advice and ultimately lost several key executives, and then his own health, due to stress and workload.

Yet in this age of technology, many seem to favor tools and data to get the edge, or can’t find the time to talk to real people. Each time I mentor an entrepreneur, I learn new things about their technology, customers, and business domain. Regularly review progress and adjust focus (Review and Renewal).

What every investor, and every customer, is looking for is a company where everyone is focused on the same objectives, the same values, and the same customer needs I just saw some real insights on this challenge in a new book, “ Total Alignment: Tools and Tactics for Streamlining Your Organization ,” by Riaz and Linda Khadem.

It’s also a very exciting time here in LA Tech with over 6 accelerators and incubators springing up over the past year. Tyler Crowley, of Sqweal, Launch, ThisWeekInStartups, Open Angel Forum, and Mahalo, stopped by to give a quick coaching session on pitch prep. Sunday morning rolled around and it was down to crunch-time.

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. One of the best sales coaches I ever worked with used to talk to me about “testing prospects.” Right for my stage?
