Cash is king. No one knows the truth of that statement better than a startup founder who suddenly finds himself owing his suppliers, his employees and his landlord all within a week of each other. Growth is exciting, but it’s easy to lose sight of your cash flow and end up “growing yourself into a hole.”

In this episode, Mark shares the hard stories from his time at GiftCertificates.com and Hayneedle that taught him valuable lessons of cash management. We discuss the importance of relationships, how to minimize dilution in the critical early stages, and how to connect with the right investors for your company. Tune in for the whole conversation!

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” It’s a common saying in the business world, and it’s also one of the most important truths that the most successful startups understand. Too many founders think that culture is as simple as putting a ping pong table in the breakroom or taking the team out for drinks once a quarter, but it’s so much more than that.

In this episode, we discuss the role culture played in the success of companies like Hammocks.com (which would later become Hayneedle), Sports Authority, and Office Depot. Plus, we get into how culture and employee engagement are directly tied to the most important business results. The great news is that investing in culture doesn’t require you to do anything big.
