5 Lessons for Entrepreneurs

September 25, 2008

Scott Rafer’s 5 lessons for Entrepreneurs:

  1. Make the first startup simple and small. Make a million or two and get some leverage.
  2. Sexy sucks. boring is always better. If anyone thinks that they can get laid competing with you, it will screw up your economics.
  3. VC deals are mortgages not partnerships. Stick with angels as long as humanly possible.
  4. Demand chain integration is cheap. Supply chain integration is expensive. You’re the founder. You want cheap. See # 3.
  5. Employees 11-20 don’t normally raise enterprise output. Small teams create the most value per person.

Today I created a simple plugin that allows you to easily add the Lookery Audience Analytics tracker to your Wordpress blog.

Lookery’s Audience Analytics is like Google Analytics + Compete.com but instead of measuring your site’s “pageviews” and “clicks” Lookery helps you analyze your site’s audience.

We’re working on some great analytics that should be out real soon. Despite being quite early we’re already seeing sites such as ThisNext and ReadWriteWeb signup as early adopters.

I love your feedback. Please let me know how we can improve our analytics and our new Wordpress plugin.
