How To Appeal To Investors: Top VCs Reveal The Anatomy Of A Successful Entrepreneur

No Comments, peruse, by .

Sign at the entrance of Startup city, WashingtonAt a very fundamental level, the venture capital business is being reshaped. Speaking to a crowd at the Grind work space in New York last week, Fred Wilson addressed this ongoing shift, saying, “there?s two times as much capital in the venture capital business today than we, the professional investors who make up the venture business, can actually put to work intelligently.” Bad for VCs, Wilson says, but good for entrepreneurs. Of course, the fact of the matter is that the top investors are custodians of an equally valuable currency — information. With the noise and hype growing, it’s becoming even more essential to understand what it is about the anatomy of startups that makes them appealing to the right investors — or perhaps more importantly — why some of the best fail in spite of themselves. In a new book, called Venture Capitalists at Work, Tarang and Sheetal Shah set out to provide entrepreneurs with real insight into how some of the top investors in the game evaluate, invest in, and mentor their startups — information that can be extremely powerful if put to use correctly — and that has thus far remained, they say, in a “black box.”

Nina Dobrev Understands Elena’s Decision On ‘Vampire Diaries’

‘Diaries’ star tells MTV News about her character’s game-changing decision on Thursday night’s season finale.

The “Vampire Diaries” season finale Thursday night answered some questions (like which Salvatore brother Elena wanted), but also posed a bunch more.

Warning: spoilers ahead!

As the episode, titled “The Departed,” came to a close, a tear-filled Elena told Damon that while she cared for him, her one true love is his good-guy brother, Stefan.

“I understand why she made the decision,” Nina Dobrev told MTV News at the launch of the “Like Her, Like Me” Seventeen magazine campaign where she debuted her “got milk?” ad about her character Thursday night in New York. “I respect her decision, and I think, having seen the last three years, what’s happened in her life, everyone will also. They may not be happy, half the people will not be happy regardless, but they’ll get it, and it’s her decision at the end of the day.”

And, the drama didn’t end there: After Elena broke the news to Damon, she and her friend Matt drove off the same bridge her parents did years before, their car sinking into the river.

Much like that other time, Stefan plunges into the water to save her, except she sacrifices herself to save her pal. Cut to the very last second of the episode, where her dead body lies still while Stefan looks on, mourning her loss. But, nothing is what it seems, and her eyes open. Little did anyone know, she had vampire blood in her, courtesy of Dr. Meredith Fell, from a previous injury.

Dobrev said “it doesn’t matter” what she thinks Elena should have done, adding, “I have absolutely no say in who she chooses or how that all goes down. That’s a Julie Plec question.”

Well, Plec, the show’s executive producer, said that for Elena, life as a vampire is a distinct possibility. “The ending had been in the works for about two years,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “It felt like now was the time — when you’re left with no grownup, no adult supervision, no parent, no guardian — for Elena to experience the next evolution of her journey.”

Over the course of season three, Elena certainly faced a number of hardships, including the loss of her mentor, vampire hunter Alaric. “All the stuff that we did with having her get stronger over the course of the year, training and getting in touch with her physical self, and all the grief and all the emotion that she went through, all the compassion that she has for everybody, it will all play into next year and what kind of person and vampire she will actually be — if she should choose to see the transition through,” Plec explained.

So, will she transition? The executive producer noted, “There will be a discussion to be had about it at the beginning, but the road we’re going down is pretty balls out.”

Editorial: Apple isn’t making a ‘converged’ laptop / tablet hybrid, but I still want one

No Comments, peruse, by .

Deflated. Disappointed. Let down. Unsurprised. All of those emotions ran through my being at one point or another following Apple CEO Tim Cook’s comments regarding “converged” devices, but if anything, his denial has made me all the more hungry for this particular device. For months — heck, maybe even years — I’ve waited for Sir Jonathan Paul Ive and co. to finally nail the concept of a laptop / tablet hybrid. In many ways, Apple managed to get right on a smartphone in 2007 what I felt was wrong holding a BlackBerry. I still think the iPad’s screen is about 2.7-inches too large for my own personal tastes, but the world at large has affirmed that it nailed that design, too. Oh, and the MacBook Air? C’mon — we all know it’s the thin-and-light you always wanted, and given that it’ll run Windows with poise, it’s arguably the sexiest Windows laptop currently on the market.

The point? Apple has waited for companies to flounder about with certain designs before, all while perfecting its own take for a future release. Windows-based tablets were flooding out in the early noughties, and believe it or not, Toshiba was already giving the tablet / laptop hybrid thing a whirl in 2003 with the Portege 3500. Apple waited over half a decade to usher in the iPad, and the rest — as they say — is history. The iPhone followed a similar path; companies came before it and did their best to produced pleasing, long-lasting, highly usable smartphones, but the iPhone completely changed the trajectory of everything that came after. Love it or hate it, it’s hard to imagine a 2012 with Windows Phone in it had Apple not pinned Windows Mobile in a corner back in ’07.

So, if Apple has shown an ability to thrive with designs that others have experimented with, why is the “converged” laptop / tablet a nonstarter?
