From the Operators

Cynthia Maxwell of Slack, Claire Hughes Johnson of Stripe, Linda Kozlowski of Etsy, and many others contribute to "The 30 Best Pieces of Advice for Entrepreneurs in 2017"

Brian Wallace of NowSourcing helps founders ask themselves the tough questions in his infographic, "Habits of Successful Startup Founders"

 

From the Investors

While perhaps not the news we normally cover, we thought it'd be interesting to share Albert Wenger's (of Union Square Ventures) take on why the recently shared computer processor bugs are actually good for innovation in the long run in "Meltdown and Spectre are Good ... for Innovation"

Phil Nadel of Forefront Venture Partners contradicts the popular adage to follow your passion and asks entreprenuers to follow something else instead in "Caveat Entrepreneur: When Passion is a Problem"

Brigitte Hackler of High Alpha advises founders on how to strike a balance between four conflicting ideas in order to achieve success in "Walking the Tightrope of an Early-Stage Startup"
