5 Great Online Resources for Learning Photography
Photo by keith011764 via Flickr Creative Commons I'm always looking for new photography classes to take, thinking that if I were to take a class I'd be able to a) learn new skills without having to make a whole lot of mistakes before the "aha" moment and b) probably practice on a lot more regular basis than I currently do. And there's always that wonderful c)... I'd meet some cool local shutterbugs to hang out with. But every time I start the search for new classes I run into two hiccups. First, they're often really dang expensive -- laying out $250 for a weekend workshop or (gulp) $2,500 for a week-long retreat is something I just can't seem to get myself to do.

Startup Advice: How Entrepeneurs Gain Credibility
While talking with young founders in Europe and the US over the last couple months, I have been asked the same question repeatedly -- how can an entrepreneur just starting out gain the necessary credibility to attract capital? It is an important question because, at its heart, a startup investment is an investment in the entrepreneur. And the earlier stage the investment, the more so this is true. We all know the allure of the elusive "serial entrepreneur" -- the rare breed who has done it before (successfully) and will not fall victim to the same business pitfalls (he'll have to discover new ones). I have backed serial entrepreneurs before and will continue to back them. They have valuable startup knowledge to bring to bear on the company building process that we in the venture business clearly covet.
