Sonic boom - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
 |
"The term sonic boom is commonly used to refer to the shocks caused by the supersonic flight of an aircraft. Sonic booms generate enormous amounts of sound energy, sounding much like an explosion. Thunder is a type of natural sonic boom, created by the rapid heating and expansion of air in a lightning discharge.[1]"

Eating blueberries can reverse memory loss and may have implications in the treatment of diseases like Alzheimer's, University of Reading scientists claim. Scientists found adding foods like blueberries to a regular diet, resulted in improvements in memory. The foods, known as flavonoids, were historically believed to act as antioxidants in human bodies. But the study indicates they also activate the part of the brain which controls learning and memory.

- Dominic Jones
I don't doubt that VCs are having a tough time, but Intel Capital wanting to lower the valuation to $1 doesn't mean Intel Capital is having a tough time. It means some of the previous investors who participated in the rounds leading to the $5 mil are no longer putting in more money, and Intel wants to squeeze them out. They don't want to carry nonperforming investors. Those other VCs might be shutting down, I guess.

You can shoot high without drawing the "hockey stick", "we're going to grow to 20 million users worldwide in a year" statements that are necessary for VC funding. There *is* a middle ground, but problem is, if there are enough VC backed companies giving away everything for free to get "eyeballs" they suck out all the oxygen in the space. It's tough if you're not trying to be the next Google.
- mikepk
But you have to remember - it is DEAD on both sides. You can't raise capital and you have to be able to sell it to someone... who is buying? I'm not saying don't do it (hell I'm doing it right now). I'm saying get realistic...

If so, need to proove the real value of what you have and get the VC's wanting to invest in you... YOU as a biz be the picky one.. zig zag whatever ;o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
It may be dead on both sides, but even in a downturn, if you can provide real value people will pay for it. This is especially true if your value proposition is based on boosting the efficiency of your customers to help them in the downturn.
- mikepk
In the height of a cycle, with everyone trying to "shoot the moon", you can end up with VC backed companies giving away your value proposition for free to get traffic. This not only invalidates your value prop, it also has the unfortunate side effect of raised expectations of what should or should not be free. It's not sustainable and we're going to see a collapse of a lot of free services (IMHO).
- mikepk
mikepk - I completely agree... but if you are doing free to attract huge subscriber base that isn't happening. Someone I respect yesterday told me to go "free/premium". I said no. Because in this environment there is no way to cover the operational costs of the free. 1) Find a way to add value 2) Sell it
- Brian Roy
Interesting conversation this is ggetting to be.. 1, increase value of what you have 2, sell it!!! sums it up.. as i been saying but in more words. :o)
- Rob Sellen :o)
@Rob but timing is important too. You're not the only one who controls the value of what you offer (unfortunately). Other companies can deflate your value offering to zero by giving it away for free. Even if they themselves can't sustain it, they have money to *outlast* you. Now with the downturn, I think the everything free model will dry up, and people will have more control of the value proposition they can offer.
- mikepk
Of course all of that is just the market at work. The "build the next google startup" VC-cycle phenomenon has interesting market effects though. :)
- mikepk
The other aspect about this market that's getting interesting is the strategic and M&A activity. If you built your company on fluff and spin, good luck. If you built your company but thinking carefully about your business plan and investing wisely in your technology, you've got a good shot at getting strategic investment or getting aquired. Once again, value creation is your only leverage when the chips are down.

from twhirl
So you diversify, provide a UNIQUE value the "others" dont have... better customer service would be a huge start! ;o)

when the market was high you had VCs with a lot of money, and over-valued companies flush with cash. Which meant your business plan could be just to gain traction and buzz (also known by the technical expression "we'll get cool and google or aol will buy us") - neither flotation nor purchase are likely to be credible options to a VC now, which means they will want to see old style...

BTW. I had a smart VC tell me over the summer they could give me funding, but thought it would be a tactical mistake--that we'd be walking into a buzz saw. Like it or not, once you take the cash, the clock is ticking, and a market downturn is no excuse for missing numbers. If you're going after money, you need a business plan that will perform in the current environment--why else would...
