Thank You - Venture Capitalists

I've been helping - or rather attempting to help - Serality raise capital. Full disclosure - I made an angel investment in Serality about two years ago. As of this moment, I've contacted 143 venture investors.

I want to thank fifteen of them. Those fifteen have turned us down.
Obviously I'm not thanking them for that. But I understand it. They have a business to run and they need to make a profit. If our business plan is off-strategy for them, or we are too small or too early-stage or they simply think we've got a bad idea; all that is OK. I appreciate the straightforward turndown.
Serality is aimed at helping real-world communities that support the over-50 population - which is surging with millions of aging baby boomers. That has lead to some interesting comments from some firms even though they are decling to invest. Comments such as: "this isn't appropriate for us, but I've recently been dealing with my aging parents - you are on to something really important".

To: Charles River Partners, Edison Ventures, Flywheel Ventures, Weston Presidio, 406 Ventures, Hummer Winblad, Sequoia Capital, Ed Dorado Ventures, Firstmark Capital, KB Partners, Crosscut Ventures, e.ventures, Onset Ventures, Heritage Health Ventures and Shasta Ventures, thanks for getting back to us and letting us know were we stand.
To the firms that have expressed an interest and are now getting to know us and our business strategy better - we are looking forward to making a lot of money together.

Book Review: What Matters Now by Gary Hamel

Interview of Eric Schmidt by Gary Hamel at the MLab dinner tonight. Google's Marissa Mayer and Hal Varian also joined the open dialog about Google's culture and management style, from chaos to arrogance. The video just went up on YouTube. It's quite entertaining. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Cover of The Future of ManagementMy list of must-read business writers continues to expand.Gary Hamel, however, author of What Matters Now, with the very long subtitle of How to Win in a World of Relentless Change, Ferocious Competition, and Unstoppable Innovation, has been on the list for quite some time.Continuing his thesis on the need for a new approach to management introduced in his prior book The Future of Management, Hamel calls for a complete rethinking of how enterprises are run.

Fundamental to his recommendation is that the practice of management is ossified in a command and control system that is now generations old and needs to be replaced with something that reflects an educat…

Book Review- Stretch by Scott Sonenshein

Have you ever watched, or been involved in, a business failure, where, despite the best efforts of hardworking people, the business doesn’t survive? Scott Sonenshein lived through it, as he describes in the Introduction to his engrossing book Stretch. (In some books, the reader can skip the intro- not this one; the introduction is a must-read part of the book.) He was hired by start-up Vividence in Silicon Valley at the very apex of the tech boom. Despite prestige VC backers, top-tier hires and $50 million, Vividence didn’t make it. As his career continued, that experience led to an interest in why some well-funded operations don’t succeed, while other, more resource constrained, do. Peter Senge wrote about reinforcing cycles as part of his book The Fifth Discipline, which I consider one of the finest business books ever penned. In it, Senge describes the downward cycle that some companies fall into, and why it is so difficult to reverse. Sonenshein explores those cycles from diffe…

Tax Inversions

A savvy businessman once told me “it’s important to know what problem you are trying to solve”.
Let’s ignore for the moment whether or not Treasury or the IRS had the power to change the rules on so-called tax inversions without Congressional action. (The power they said they didn’t have only a few months ago.)
Rather, let’s focus on what problem we are trying to solve. That is, why is the greatest country on earth chasing companies away? Shouldn’t the U.S. be the place that companies want to locate their headquarters?
Imagine this: the U.S. legal structure and tax regime was so attractive that Mercedes, Toyota, Astra Zeneca, Samsung, Total, Singapore Air, Banco Santander, Petrobras, Fujitsu, Nokia, SAP, Audi, Tata Group, Lenovo, Pirelli, Deutsche Bank, Honda, LG, Hyundai, Roche, Credit Suisse, Four Seasons, Siemens, Phillips, Bridgestone, Anglo-America, DeBeers, Volkswagen, Canon, L’Oréal, Swatch, Armani, LVMH, Toshiba, H&M, Mahindra, Aldi, Kubota, Onex, Ducati, Pemex, Saudi-Ara…
