Task & Errand Service By Awesome, Trustworthy People | TaskRabbit After a Year, Startup America Has a Start Courtesy Startup America.Scott Case (hands raised) and Steve Case celebrate Startup America. Start The adventure of new ventures. It’s been a year since business leaders gathered at the White House to kick off the Startup America Partnership, a national nonprofit initiative intended to spur the growth of new companies, with the end goal of creating jobs. What has happened in 12 months? Did Startup America become a well-meaning but soft entrepreneurial pep rally, as skeptics feared? The answer, so far, is a bit of both. But its chairman, Steve Case, a co-founder of AOL, and its chief executive, Scott Case, a co-founder of Priceline who is not related to Steve Case, have been promoting the importance of entrepreneurs while building their program’s infrastructure. • Startup America has joined with big companies like Dell, Facebook, Ernst & Young, Google and Microsoft. • Startup America has also begun recruiting members. So far, 3,800 start-ups have signed on. Q. A. Q. A. E-mail us »
Why Every Entrepreneur Should Self-Publish a Book I’ve published eight books in the past seven years, five with traditional publishers (Wiley, Penguin, HarperCollins), one comic book, and the last two I’ve self-published. In this post I give the specific details of all of my sales numbers and advances with the traditional publishers. Although the jury is still out on my self-published books, “How to be the Luckiest Man Alive” and “I Was Blind But Now I See” I can tell you these two have already sold more than my five books with traditional publishers, combined. If you, the entrepreneur, self-publish a book you will stand out, you will make more money, you will kick your competitors right in the XX, and you will look amazingly cool at cocktail parties. I know this because I am seldom cool but at cocktail parties, with my very own comic book, I can basically have sex with anyone in the room. But don’t believe me, it costs you nothing and almost no time to try it yourself. A) Advances are going to zero. B) Lag time. C) Marketing. Now, 1.
Beekeeping 101: Online Classes Help Pay the Bills Megan Paska photo by Neil Despres The tech industry has brought about many recent innovations in business, but perhaps one of the most important for those in food+tech is the trend toward monetizing knowledge. No longer are entrepreneurs solely hoping low paying ads and internet product sales will pay the rent. Meet Megan Paska, a Brooklyn homesteader who runs a honey CSA and teaches urban farming workshops, including beekeeping. I got a chance to catch up with Paska to learn more about the course and her business model. Learn how to keep bees by registering here for the Urban Beekeeping 101 Online Seminar. Danielle Gould: What made you decide to teach your beekeeping course online? Megan Paska: Many of my readers kept saying they wished they could take one of my classes but they lived too far away. DG: Is this the first time you will be teaching a class online? MP: It is, but I’ve taught this exact class many times in person. DG: What is involved with teaching the course online?
Going Legit, Part 4: Selling Your Food at Farmers' Markets Part four of a series in which SFoodie asks the question: With the Underground Market now shut down, what would it take for San Francisco's aspiring food microventures to go legit? Up until the Underground Market and its imitators appeared, Bay Area farmers' markets were one of the best incubators for new food businesses, offering beginning vendors a way to introduce themselves to the public and build personal relationships with customers. With small, neighborhood farmers' markets continuing to proliferate around San Francisco, they're still a viable launchpad, though the waiting lists for top markets are ridiculously long. SFoodie called up the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association, which runs 68 farmers' markets in San Francisco and six other counties, working with more than 900 farmers and prepared-food vendors. PCFMA assistant director Allen Moy first listed the basics: a commercial kitchen, for one. Not bad, really. "The permits are very expensive," Jordan said.
4 Tips for Artisan Food Startups - Food Media So you still want to start a food business, despite the obstacles? Here are four things to consider: 1. This is where many artisan food makers fall down. Emily Olson, cofounder of the specialty food subscription service Foodzie, agrees that "unprofessional" packaging is the downfall of many. "The packaging helps you trust what you purchased," continues Olson. 2. It's easier to sell a unique product than one that's similar to many others. "It's a pretty basic part of a business plan," says Caleb Zigas, executive director of San Francisco business incubator La Cocina, "to stand in a grocery store and evaluate competitor products. Olson thinks the baked-good space is particularly crowded: "I think it's mostly that those are easy to make in your home kitchen," she says. 3. It's easy to cringe with Ball when she describes small producers who tell her they've been selling jam at farmers' markets for $10 a jar, so they'd like her to pay $9. Of course, you'll have to account for scale. 4.
3 Reasons Not to Start a Food Biz - Food Media You see shiny jars of organic cherry marmalade on the shelves of some upscale food shop and you think, "I love making jam, I could do that." Chances are you can't. Not now, anyway. This is a particularly terrible time to enter the artisan food market. Here's why: 1. Alli Ball is the assistant grocery buyer at Bi-Rite, the market at the forefront of San Francisco's buy-local movement. "The bar is so much higher than it was a few years ago because there are so many producers out there," she says. Indeed, Bi-Rite's shelves are so crowded that the store is constantly trying to figure out how to slot in more product—the store now "single-faces," stocking a single rather than a double row of products, and hangs bagged items from clips. But if there are so many new products, shouldn't the overflow be spilling into bigger chains, like Whole Foods? 2. For a small food maker, the holy grail is getting into the big chains: Safeway, Walmart, Kroger. 3. Making things by hand is laborious.
Free Private Group Chat, Video Chat, File Sharing - War Room | Hall.com Jonah Lehrer on How to Be Creative Dwolla Ben Milne founded Dwolla There's a tiny 12-person startup churning out of Des Moines, Iowa. Dwolla was founded by 28-year-old Ben Milne; it's an innovative online payment system that sidesteps credit cards completely. Milne has no finance background, yet his little operation is moving between $30 and $50 million per month; it's on track to move more than $350 million in the next year. Unlike PayPal, Dwolla doesn't take a percentage of the transaction. We interviewed Milne about how he is building a credit card killer and Square rival from the middle of the nation where VCs and press are scarce. BI: We hear you're making credit card companies angry. Ben Milne: Ultimately we're trying to build the next Visa, not the next PayPal. Dwolla started out of my old company. So I thought, 'how do I get paid through a website without paying credit card fees?' That was three years ago, so we've been working on the project for a really long time. How many transactions are you doing? What's your story?
New Restaurants Turn to the Public for Cash Bank loans were out of reach. “We didn’t have the kind of collateral they wanted,” said Mr. Lefkove, a 31-year-old punk rocker and publisher’s copywriter, nostalgic for family visits to Bigelow’s New England Fried Clams in Rockville Centre, N.Y. “I liquidated my and my I.R.A. as well,” Mr. Lefkove said. It wasn’t enough. So to help get his restaurant, Littleneck, over the finish line, the next stop was Kickstarter.com — a Web site that solicits donations to finance art, technology and business projects. The Internet campaign helped Littleneck financially, but Mr. Spurned by tapped-out investors and tightwad bankers in challenging times, restaurateur-wannabes are turning to their neighborhoods, and the wider community of the Internet, to finance their dreams. For restaurateurs it provides the added benefit of eliminating interfering investors who second-guess them and demand higher prices for higher returns. Mr. They are hoping that “others will use this concept and copy it,” Mr.
