I couldn’t agree more…

My most recent two startup projects are organized and run almost almost exactly this way (freshfinder.com & mystudioassistant.com) and as a result we’ve gotten farther faster, cheaper, and smarter than if we’d done it old-school.

Congrats on putting it all into a tidy package!

I attended a large business’ fast talking super rich owner’s office in manhatten to seek support for Shelternet for Abused Women, a site that connected women to the 550 shelters in Canada and Shelters to each other.

His opening question was how do you know you actually help anyone? I spouted our google tracked #’s and hits and uniques vrs regular users and he was completely underwhelmed with my pitch and threw me out saying until he knew we actually helped women and children he’d do a big fat zero dispite his Canadian Sr VP had been on Board for past 6 years.

I though he was a jerk….many wouldn’t so my question is: was he write to push us to a higher level of accountability or was he seeking an excuse, any excuse, not to give?

There is also the issue of the effective underlying problem statement itself. Nail the clearly defined problem statement upstream and some of the metrics issues downstream seem to vanish.
