Today we are focusing on job-related posts again. Leading the day is a post from Seth Godin about how idea adoption works. It is an excellent post that everyone should read. Next, we have RJ Metrics showing us some research on the pricing strategies of 1876 marketing technology companies. Even if your company is not in that space, the information found regarding various types of customers should be very helpful. Lastly, Seth Levine talks about the complexity of raising a Series A and the post has two excellent charts.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
