Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda
Ever had a good idea but failed to act on it only to see it turn up later somewhere else? It happens, both in the startup world and in the writing business.
Case in point: I’d been thinking about writing a post identifying some of the more interesting entrepreneurs and venture capitalists I follow on a regular basis.
Well, too late. Bill Clark, the CEO of Microventures, which uses crowdfunding to raise $1,000 to $10,000 from investors for startups, beat me to the punch.
Clark follows a handful of the same venture capitalists that I track—Fred Wilson, Chris Sacca, Mark Suster, and Brad Feld—and several others that I don’t but plan to start. To see all of Clark’s list check out his post: Nine Twitter Accounts Every Startup Investor Should Follow. It’s a good list, but a better reminder that if you have a good idea—whether for a blog post or a startup company—act on it or you might regret it.
Don't miss out on these tips either:
