Startup Grind
AUGUST 10, 2018
Start-up owners are certainly familiar with the first few months of activity that seems like an uphill battle. Tight money and the lure of investing in unnecessary “money-holes” sometimes take over many out there. The burden. For many start-up owners, it may feel like every small investment, every new system, software product, or basically, any other type of investment, is a burden.

With Aviel’s announcement last week, and a new website up at Founder’s Co-op reflecting our new partnership, I thought it was a good time to revisit the themes from my 2013 keynote at the Geekwire Awards: Turtles and Flywheels. Back then I said: “The truth is, it takes time to build anything of lasting value…[t]he better something is — the more powerful and lasting — the longer it takes to build”.

Earlier this summer, my friend Michael told me about a small investment his team made up in Seattle in the Amazon ecosystem. We were about to move houses and with all the impending details that process was generating, I initially didn’t give it a proper look. As we were reviewing new deals, we flagged this one for being different in nature. And as we dug in more, we began to uncover how little we know about a new potential business line for Amazon.

As an investor, I care a lot – and I mean A LOT – about founders’ motivations for starting a company. Over the past couple of years, nearly every relevant Bay Area technology company has opened up an engineering office in Seattle and our hometown heroes Amazon and Microsoft are also attracting an unprecedented amount of technology talent to the region, many of whom are itching to start their own companies.

Here is a phenomenon I discovered over time when dealing with many small start-ups in their early revenue period. A very predictable series of rotating crises seemed to befall most every one of these young companies. These became so predictable that I could accurately label them as occurring about every $3 million in gross profit (or revenue for service companies).

Members of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) take part in regular Forums. These confidential meetings with seven to 10 peers are a highly rated benefit of membership. Moderator-trained EO members guide the sessions, which emphasize personal responsibility and lessons learned. Fellow Forum members don’t give advice; they speak from prior experience, letting you draw your own conclusions on how to best proceed.

Years ago, I was so confident and so naive. I was sure I was right and everyone else was wrong. After I sold my company , I felt ready to do something new, so I started to learn. But the more I learned, the more I realized how little I knew and how dumb-lucky I had been. I continued learning until I felt like an absolute idiot. By then I was paralyzed, unable to create anything new.

Both Sides of the Table
AUGUST 5, 2018
I just returned from a week’s vacation in the mountains where I had almost no Internet access but was aware that Ronan Farrow had published a damning sexual misconduct article about Les Moonves, the Chairman & CEO of publicly traded company CBS Corporation. Now home, I finally had the chance to fetch the New Yorker from my mailbox and read the article in its entirety and it’s clear to me that Les Moonves needs to go and no doubt will go in the near future.

Written for EO by Reuben Yonatan, founder of GetVoIP. Even the most successful people in the world today have struggled and made mistakes. The difference between those who make it and those who don’t lies in how they overcome adversity.
