Recently I’m involved in advising entrepreneurs how to prepare to get funding for their projects and business ideas. Well this is not a new subject at all. A lot has been written on it. Still - in order to get a clear idea of how you need to communicate your business idea I walk along the mindmap below. It serves like a breviary.

Since some time I devote a lot of my attention to Twitter; a fast-paced (well at least if it’s online) update stream. It connects me to many people based on simple activity updates, links or short dia/multilogical exchanges. Together with RSS-feeds that’s my basic learning environment and more. It replaced - at least for now - what I got back from blogging.

I spent the last 13 years in different kinds of startups (across different industries). Recently I though it makes sense for me to sum up what I’ve learned so far. I started a mindmap that eventually will turn into a blogpost. In the meantime I share this map with you. It’s going to change as I draft and recall my experiences.
