Sample Newsletter: Christmas 2016

Hi, guys!
Hi, guys! Hi, guys! (for those of you who don’t understand why I’m repeating myself, check out the bloopers video I’ve made HERE)
I know most of you are thinking about all the Christmasy things, but here are some things to read over the short holiday:

  1. Can your startup generate venture-scale returns?

Do you want to know when a VC thinks a startup brings a meaningful revenue for them? What kind of exit is important enough for a fund? Here are some numbers and a good explanation of the process. It’s something it took me a little bit of time to understand.

  1. Y Combinator launches video series interviewing successful founders, starting with Mark Zuckerberg

Y! Combinator has access to the most important business people in the Tech world, so this is a series to follow.

  1. Why I Bought 100 Pairs of Sneakers for My Team

Mark Ghermezian, founder of Appboy, shares the motivation behind buying and customizing 100 sneakers for all his team members. I’ve actually had a pair of Converse shoes with the MavenHut logo at some point, so I can see the appeal.

  1. Ever Bought Art on a Cruise? Prepare to Be Seasick

Bisset and his wife, Sharyn Miller, later told me that his outfit—board shorts and a yellow tank top—was part of a savvy strategy. “You don’t want them to think you have money,” Miller said. “Prices can go up.”
Not the tech article I usually recommend, but it’s interesting to see how the market sets the price, no matter the valuation. Once you’re in a place with difficult access to information and people in a spending mood, you can ramp up the prices to values you never thought of before. How you use this is up to you, but I would at least test some outrageous prices just to see the reactions (and the numbers).

  1. Fuck You, Startup Yoda

An older article, but still true. Long story short, there are too many wanna-be entrepreneurs in the world. What’s sad is that they’re being rewarded for having the self-congratulatory social-media campaigns and for sharing life-changing business quotes when, in reality, they live off the buzz, without actually doing the hard work of the startup life.
In the end, I just wanna say that I’ll be on vacation till mid-January, but you can still check out my Facebook page as I’ll be sharing interesting startup articles. If you haven’t liked my page yet, you should. It’s likable:
