Challenges for EdTech Startups. In a knowledge-based economy like the one we live in, education (or the lack thereof) is one of the most influential aspects that can accelerate (or hinder) the economic development of any nation. Yet, the education space has been neglected by government and it has lagged behind in terms of innovation, more than any other field. The number of problems that are desperate for improvement includes the high cost of education, student debt,. 13,000 school districts. There is li...

Agility and adaptability - your job will constantly change (even in the same company). Effective oral and written communication. Accessing and analyzing information (find the crucial/trivial info). Curiosity, imagination and creativity. Entrepreneurship is jumping off a cliff and assembling a plane on the way down. See more →.

What the NYC Startup World Needs (and Doesn’t Need). An excellent post by Nate Westheimer. In response to Chris Dixon’s original post. I think Nate is spot on in his assessment and critique. The fact is that the push by NYC government to lure a world-class engineering campus to NYC is brilliant. This is just one of many critical initiatives and events that will help NYC grow as a global hub for technology innovation and commerce. Definitely read Nate’s post and Chris’ post as well.

Strong Opinions @marksbirch • User Perspective and Problem Statements
http://birch.co/post/4987768109/user-perspective-and-problem-statements
User Perspective and Problem Statements. Earlier in the week I wrote about the need for clarity in problem statements. These are statements that underpin why your product or service needs to exist. Unless your focus is providing entertainment, without a problem statement, you will have little chance to convince customers to buy your offering or investors to fund your business. Does the solution cost me more than what I use today? Does it change my behavior? Does it take longer to do what I currently do?
