Today we focus on some business. First, Mike McCue talks about the most powerful lesson he ever learned in business. The “first principles” concept is not something new, but it forces you to think about facts. William R Fry gives us an excellent guide to the Philly tech scene. This is important because I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia and I don’t think the industry gives it much thought. It is much stronger than people think. At The Angel VC we get some interesting information on SaaS companies, their revenue and their value. The more important parts are about scaling your business, how do you grow from $1M to $5M or $10M to $25M?
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
