All companies - and not just startups - face the same eternal challenge: resource allocation.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
We all have a personal recipe for productivity. One person may need six cups of autonomy and just a pinch of collaboration. Another person may require heaps of sociability and noise, with just a teaspoon of occasional privacy.

Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
Every day, write down a few frustrations. And then at the end of the week, you'll have maybe 10 problems. By the end of the month, maybe you have 40 to 50 problems. And then you can spend time thinking about, Is there a viable business in solving any of these everyday frustrations?
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
Millennials are eager to make an impact, which makes them ideal for start-ups.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
It may seem premature, but you need to be thinking of your exit from the moment you accept capital, because at that moment, you've made an explicit agreement with an investor that he or she will eventually be able to gain liquidity.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
I personally try to buy the best-quality items at the best price that do the least harm and from companies that are striving to do good - many of those companies are run by young entrepreneurs.

Just as a company needs a strategy to capture market share, a company needs a strategy to encourage actions that reflect their core values.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal

Quote by -Neil Blumenthal

Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
The trick to maximizing your team's productivity is to create a workspace that's flexible, so it can be altered according to the ever-changing needs of the company and its team members.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
For many startups, ideating is the fun part: coming up with ingenious schemes to grab eyeballs and start conversations. But before you dive into that stage, take a step back and define your goals.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal

Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
Businesses should focus on solving problems, putting the customer first, delivering value - not gimmicks - and growing in a sustainable manner.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
Social enterprise is at its most impactful when the goal is empowerment, not relief.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
There are two elements to nailing a job interview: form and substance. 'Form' describes the outer layer of your character - your manners, your demeanor, your social skills. 'Substance' describes the inner core of your character - your intellect, your empathy, your creativity.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
For better or worse, cash is the oxygen of your business, and you can't last long in any environment without it.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
When it comes to marketing, creative resources are often worth far more than dollars.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
Venture capital is an inherently optimistic form of investment - which is both its primary strength and its primary weakness.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
By creating a feedback culture within your office, you ensure that people continue to learn, grow, and challenge themselves.

Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
At its best, entrepreneurship creates jobs, solves problems, and galvanizes creative thinking.
Quote by -Neil Blumenthal
Self-awareness is a trait - or maybe 'practice' is the more accurate way to put it - that everyone can always improve at. It is part emotional intelligence, part perceptiveness, part critical thinking. It means knowing your weaknesses, of course, but it also means knowing your strengths and what motivates you.
