Startup entrepreneurs solve problems and get paid for their solutions. But when analyzing a problem, ensure you have the right solution based on the data you collect.

During WWII, Allied bomber losses were high, so high that the British Air Ministry undertook a rigorous analysis in hopes of finding a solution. Their engineers set out to examine every bomber they could, gathering data on each bullet hole. After analyzing the results, engineers decided to reinforce the areas that had the highest concentrations of holes with armor plating.

It didn’t work.

Perplexed, the engineers assumed that the extra plating had made the planes too heavy, and that the difficulty in handling the planes was offsetting the protection of the armor plating.

“Sleep spots” for startups to attend Expos and Events

April 6th, 2011 No comments

As a startup entrepreneur you want to keep your costs low, reallly low, or just reallly, really low.

Well, there’s a new “sleep spot” for startups that allows you to rent a room just about anywhere. Better than a flop house, but probably less than a hotel or motel. It’s AirBnB.com and you can rent a bedroom or a space on the floor, nightly, from real people. And what a great way to network with other small businesses.

You can hear Brian Chesky of AirBnB and their startup story at Justin.tv web site, or watch below.
