How to Adjust Your Business Plan
from the the-new-buzzword-bingo dept
The media seems to only understand extremes. Okay, so the stock market has gone down quite a bit in the past two weeks. Now, suddenly they're reporting that startups can't raise funds. What they really mean is that startups with no real business idea are suddenly finding that they need to prove they add value. This is what's known as "reality" creeping back into investment decisions, which is a good thing. Salon, meanwhile, has some suggestions for adjusting your business plan in the face of the current market conditions.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
