So you know where I am coming from on this: I have co-founded 4 startups (2 profitable), spent the last 4 years building and launching my latest. I have directly advised, mentored or otherwise helped several dozen startups (Consumer, B2B, Mobile) go from the idea stage through early product design and development to fundraising and on from there. 6 had successful exits in the last couple of years including ($57M, $117M, IPO, ...). For the 6 exits, I played a key role in building their teams at all levels from college hires to CxO's. I also hosted the largest software product startup launch event on the East Coast for five years (I had lots of help). I wish I had knew then what I know now.

When someone tells me they have an idea I would like to share some of what I know and have learned with them so I try to blog about my experiences.
