Or-Tal Kiriati The Startup Experts Pattern

Following a periodical analysis of my on-going consulting business I have decided, a couple of days ago, to create a survey. The purpose of this survey, like the purpose of most surveys, is to learn the habits, way of thinking and behavior of my target audiences. In this case, I am trying to understand the pattern of using experts by hi-tech entrepreneurs. If you are one and would like to contribute to my understanding of this subject - please go to: http://www.yourpinion.net/The_Startup_Expert… Continue

Amir Wald Statrup 2.0 competition

The original post is here. colnect.com is participating in a competition called “startup 2.0“. The reason to go on this competition is to get some exposure but I’m wondering how votes would actually be cast when 141 companies (as of now) participate. Will any person actually review ALL THESE COMPANIES? I doubt it. My assumption is that lobbying is the name of the game and perhaps social n… Continue

Or-Tal Kiriati Brainstorming with my daughter

I love brainstorming. This is really one of the best ways to achieve results. I encourage brainstorming in all levels of the organization, for many types of questions or problems. Being a self employed independent consultant I don’t have co-workers to brainstorm with, but I often brainstorm with my clients or with other, third parties, involved in the service rendered. When it comes to my startup-idea, I didn’t really know who I can brainstorm with.... Read more here: http://or-tal.com/?p=21 Continue

Or-Tal Kiriati The chicken or the egg, marketing or the product?

Last week I participated in the Tel-Aviv-Yafo Entrepreneurs Meetup I organized. The meeting presented a panel of three, Danny Arazi, Ouriel Ohayon, Yaniv Golan and was moderated by Avichai Levy (about the participants). The debate was around the question “How early should a company begin to establish its brand and marketing strategy?” ..... But do all entrepreneurs have the marketing knowledge and qualities? People may be brilliant developers, but when it comes to marketing, a whole new set o… Continue

I was able to escape Chicago's holiday snow storms this year.

I took a trip to San Francisco while taking time to visit friends, saw the city, and made some additional stops.

One of them was Kirkwood near Tahoe. It was a blast! I definitely recommend checking out Tahoe area and Kirkwood. The entire area is very beautiful and something to experience. Plus, you have to test your limits! Kirkwood is unique because unlike many resorts in Tahoe, it is at a higher elevation and theref…

Moshe Burt The Absurdity of Demanding Recognition for Jewish State While Divesting From Everything Jewish

It is interesting to contrast the Leftist agenda of the protexia regime ruling Israel with the Islamic enemy.

You have a ruling regime who only belatedly professes “it’s Jewishness” while pursuing the actualization of divestment of Israel of any and all vestages of Jewishness — including the handing over of Jerusalem, Har HaBayit (Temple Mount), Yehuda and the Shomron with riches and wealth of Jewish biblical history and heritage. And divestment of Jewishness also includes the lewdnes… Continue

It breaks the project down into short development cycles, generally monthly or bi-monthly. Each of these cycles covers detailed design, development and testing of the software segment - a working application with some of the desired functionality starting from the first milestone.
