We discussed why in Q4 you will see large renegotiations of SaaS contracts and increased churn rates. We talked about what startup CEOs should do in these situations and how to think about these renegotiations. Other companies have only seen a slight decline and may be expecting demand to return to normalcy later in the year.

Want to be an entrepreneur? In addition, Entrepreneur Magazine recently included UCSB in its Top 50 Schools For VC Backed Entrepreneurs at number 37. What is most surprising about UCSB''s national entrepreneurial ranking is that it doesn''t even have a business school. Don''t go to Wharton or Harvard. Organic Academia.

For some reason, I haven’t heard much about the next generation of the Internet ( Web 3.0 ) lately, which probably means it isn’t happening as fast as everyone predicted.

So I thought I’d write about out with what I would look for in a VC knowing what I know now and why.

Most VCs are book smart.

Entrepreneurs can learn a great deal from the manner in which Pink Floyd created DSOTM. In contrast, Pink Floyd followed their passion and created long-form, unified musical pieces they wanted to hear, rather than the pithy, three minute singles demanded by their label's executives. Pay To Play. Share and Enjoy.

I’d like to do a few posts on what life looks like on the way up and perhaps how to keep your head on straight and avoid drinking your own Kool Aid because as I often advise entrepreneurs on irrational exuberance, “ In a strong wind even turkeys can fly.” I’m always paranoid about shelfware. I know, I know.
