7 Sober Lessons for a Social Enterprise Start-up

By Dave on September 30th, 2011

We at GoodInKind have been doing a lot of research on how to properly launch a social entrepreneurial internet start-up, and have decided to share with you the 7 main lessons, many of which contain meat, learned from experts in the field:

1.  Be unreasonable, emotional and impatient

2.  Be bacon, not bread

3.  “Not don’t make allow the same mistake twice”

4.  Be a pig

5.  It’s not the meat, it’s the motion

6.  Talk shit

7.  We are stupid

    Sage indeed.

     Wish I had that sign on my wall when I founded Legal Data Search Inc. (an online legal research meta index) in 1995. I over-engineered it thinking I knew what my users wanted. My competitor, FindLaw.com, did not, and sold to Westlaw for $20MM (I got them to assess my site and they passed).

    If you happen to be seeking any other Lessons Learned, I’m happy to chat.
