Burg http://randgaenge.net/?p=2744 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. And as always it will evolve. (a pity that mindmeister doesn’t provide rss-updates yet)

Burg http://randgaenge.net/?p=2742 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. You can zoom in/out, move the branches and peep at the notes (if there are some).

As it grows bigger I recommend opening the mindmap inline in a new window.

PS: I’m using Mindmeister, the premier web-based mindmapping-tool. I really love it. Ditched the dektop app already.

Burg http://randgaenge.net/2008/03/12/mass-market-content-consumption/ Brief reflection on what’s going on in the mobile space. Since I’m with Playyoo – a platform – that’s something we think about every minute. Still not easy.
Will D2C drive mass market content consumption?: “The mobile web is making more compelling to consumers. But I’m not sure I agree that direct-to-consumer will be the primary driver of mass market content consumption.”

Burg http://randgaenge.net/2007/12/18/europes-internet-business-challenge/ Please read the rest of that rant. It’s worth it!

2008: VCs and startups get real across Europe: [...]“Chatting to some frustrated startups in Barcelona and Berlin recently, one still got the impression that VC firms, even in some major European hubs, tend to think not in global, US or broad European terms, but in local terms. Will this startup be big in Catalonia, they might ask? Will we get traction in Greece? The VCs who seem to me to be less constrained by parochialism are in London and Scandinavia (Sweden and Finland specifically – what can I say, they just think that way). [...]“
