You’ve likely met some Venture Capitalists. But you haven’t met the Anti-VC. He’s Sammy Abdullah, who heads Dallas-based Blossom Street Ventures. He considers himself the ‘Anti-VC’ because he moves fast on investment decisions (often in 3 weeks), is a straight shooter, and tells you Yes or No without leaving you hanging on an investment decision. He’s already invested 22 portfolio companies - typically in Series A or B. Average check size is a cool million, and he usually leads the round. Sammy’s investment portfolio includes: SpotHero, DivvyHQ, Take The Interview, Three Day Rule, Lovepop, and AppBuddy. And in this 20-minute conversation, he reveals the 3 big things that CEO’s should spend their time on. (And what they shouldn’t.)

Lovepop cards balance the beauty of art and engineering.

Invest Alongside Boston's Top Angels: Our Syndicates - Get Qualified The need to re-skill is essential for workers confronting AI with obsolescent knowledge. Techstars alum Ace-Up is addressing this problem with a software platform that makes executive coaching more accessible and accountable. Founder Will Foussier opened for us a fascinating window into this important but obscure industry. Highlights include: Will Foussier a young Frenchman who studied in France and Switzerland, had stints at Ralph Lauren, Raymond James and the Clinton Global Initiative. At the Clinton Global Initiative Will Foussier had the opportunity to use an executive coach and came to realize how valuable it is. Companies ranging from GE to the dynamic startup LovePop are seeing the value of Ace-Up’s coaching platform. It’s expensive to hire people; coaching makes the most of company’s most valuable resource, its people. “We leverage technology to deploy personalized executive coaching in a way that is scalable, impactful and measurable.” At Sanofi, Ace-Up deploys coaching to more than 100 women leaders in 22 countries and in five different languages. The skills gap within organizations is wider than ever. In the 1990s people’s skills were relevant for almost 30 years, digitalization has reduced that to five years now. 2/3 of employees consider that they are not properly supported by their employers. Founding story: working as an analyst of the telecoms industry at Raymond James in London, Will wanted to do something more significant. This led him to the CGI where he learned how an executive coach can change your life. Will started to dream about using technology to make coaching more accessible. Ace-Up’s team is 18 people from diverse backgrounds. Sal talks about his early investment in Vedanta Biosciences, a leading company in the microbiome space. He invites those curious about the intriguing startups that abound in Boston to fill out the accredited investor form at AngelInvesBoston.com. Will credits the traction Ace-Up is getting to the effort to connect with a lot of people aided by the introductions and mentoring provided by Techstars. The stint at this top accelerator helped Ace-Up sharpen their message. Techstars’ focus on giving helped mold the culture at Ace-Up. Ace-Up wants to build a seamless platform for one-to-one remote learning that is progressive and keeps track of what works. They now have 500 coaches on their SaaS-enabled marketplace. The next step is to build value around this core market by providing rich learning content and benchmarking tools. Seeking to automate instructional design. Tend to work with the Chief People Officer or VP of Talent. User start by doing an assessment. The platform recommends coaches for the user to evaluate. Coach and employee/user jointly develop a coaching plan. The solution offered by Ace-Up is framed as a benefit for employees. By the end of 2019 Ace-Up expects to be at $2MM ARR by the end of 2020 they project $5MM ARR. By the end of 2019 they will be in 100 companies. The goal is to develop long-term collaborations with their client companies. 94% of Millennials consider that the reason to stay at a company is career development, this places an emphasis on companies supporting the development of their employees through executive coaching. It’s getting harder and harder for companies with bad cultures to compete in today’s marketplace. They can’t hide anymore. Building an employer brand is growing in importance. Will realized at the Clinton Global Initiative that his calling was to redistribute opportunities to others. Coaching is an amazing way to do that. Inspiring. Will and Sal speculate how by 2030 Ace-Up’s services could be broadly available. Will thinks that coaching and mentoring will inevitably continue to grow and that this trend will greatly benefit the country. Will’s advice to founders: (1) every moment counts, make the best of it, and (2) get out of your comfort zone. Will emphasizes the importance of having a vision, which at first may be unpolished but which eventually, through effort, can be refined.

As surprising as it may seem, some industries still haven't fully adapted to the digital world. There are still industries where purchases are made via signed contracts, not through a smooth ecommerce checkout process. But that is changing. Veronica Armstrong is personally looking to infiltrate the wedding industry with an ecommerce mindset. She is the head of marketing at Mayflower Venues, an online marketplace that helps you discover and book unique wedding venues. And Veronica is no stranger to building a brand from the ground up. As employee #4 at Lovepop cards, she saw that brand go from unknown to Sharktank to dominating the specialty card market.

Welcome to Episode 100 of The VentureFizz Podcast, the flagship podcast from the leading authority for jobs & careers in the tech industry. Today, we are hitting a major milestone: Episode 100!!! There's no doubt, The VentureFizz Podcast is the top podcast focused on entrepreneurship and tech across Boston & New York. Before I introduce today's guests, I do want to take a moment to say some “thank yous” to: -Christina Luconi, Chief People Officer at Rapid7, for being my very first guest and being willing to experiment. -All of our guests, for taking the time to share your background and all the amazing advice for others (including myself) to learn from. -Alex Culafi.

I hope each interview has maybe provided you with a little bit of inspiration and some helpful tips that you can apply to your own business. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! or this milestone episode, I was excited to interview Wombi Rose and John Wise, the Founders of Lovepop. I first learned about Lovepop through TJ Mahony, who made an investment in the company, and it was one of those companies that immediately made sense. The greeting card industry was in need of disruption and Wombi & John's background in naval architecture made them uniquely qualified to tackle this market. Lovepop creates beautiful laser-cut pop-up cards, and the company is on a mission to create one billion magical moments. You might have seen Lovepop on ABC's Shark Tank, when they landed an investment from Kevin O'Leary, who is still very involved in the company today. Since then, Lovepop has done an amazing job of building a successful consumer brand and scaling the company. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of topics, like: -Wombi and John's backgrounds, including how they met in college and reunited at Harvard Business School. -The inspiration behind their product and a deep dive into the history of the company. -How Lovepop's business was built from the ground up, and lessons learned along the way. -The whole Shark Tank experience and what it has meant for the company. -Advice for founders looking to build a consumer brand. -How the company determines whether a potential hire will be a good fit. -Plus, a lot more. Brex, the corporate credit card for startups, is the sponsor for this week's podcast. Brex founders Henrique and Pedro built a payments business in Brazil but kept getting rejected for a corporate credit card when they were in Y Combinator.

Amazon is a behemoth. So much so, that sales on Amazon accounted for a staggering 68% of all ecommerce sales in 2018.

He's the VP of Marketing at Thras.io, a fast-growing acquirer of Amazon FBA businesses. Formerly head of acquisition at LovePop, he's now focused entirely on the wild world of Amazon.

He was the Founder and CEO of Lycos, which was a dominant company back in the Web 1.0 era. For the past 17 years, he has been a Venture Capitalist at Highland Capital Partners. His track record as a VC speaks for itself, having led investments at several successful companies that resulted in exits like nuTonomy, Bullhorn, Quattro Wireless, Turbine, and several others. In fact, just last week, one of his investments, Handy, announced its acquisition by ANGI Homeservices (the owners of Angie's List & HomeAdvisor). His current portfolio includes Lovepop, SessionM, Harry's, Freshly and others. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: -The full background story of Lycos, from its early days to ultimately becoming the most visited internet destination in the world back in 1999 -Setting a record as the fastest company to ever go public in the history of the NASDAQ -How he evaluates investment opportunities, and the specific criteria behind those decisions -The difference between products that are vitamins versus pain-killers -Plus, a lot more!

Disclaimer: "The opinions stated herein are those of Warren Katz, and do not reflect the position of the US Air Force." Warren Katz, CEO of Techstars (techstars.com), provides a detailed analysis of the current state of technology startups, and the assistance his company can deliver to steer them in the right direction, help them reach their goals, and launch their products faster. Warren Katz is the managing director of Techstars Autonomous Technology Accelerator with the US Air Force, a partnership designed to increase active engagement between promising startups with state-of-the-art counter-drone technologies, and the Department of Defense. Katz was President of Neurala, a top artificial intelligence company that is focused on AI with continuous learning. Additionally, Katz co-founded MÄK Technologies, which was later acquired by VT Systems of Alexandria, Virginia. Katz is a mentor to many industry leaders as well as an angel investor who notably invested in Harmonix, GrabCAD, Neurala, Oblong, Bevi, LovePop, and PetNet. He holds bachelor's degrees in both mechanical and electrical engineering from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Katz discusses his work with the US Air Force to help them keep pace with emerging commercial technologies. But beyond the US Air Force, many private sector companies are also looking to Techstars to accelerate their connections to the latest technology. Techstars' team combs through thousands of startups and selects an elite group of the most viable and commercially relevant, that are either currently manufacturing or about to manufacture groundbreaking technology. After the selections are made, Techstars vets those selected and assists them with advanced development toward their launch. Techstars is the worldwide network that helps entrepreneurs succeed while helping companies access the technology they need. And Techstars Corporate Partners provides powerful industry expertise by offering hands-on mentorship, as well as strategic business development, and access to abundant resources to help startups accelerate their overall progress toward their goals. And with 150 countries involved, 10,000 mentors, and 300,000 alumni, it's clear that valuable connections are being made. The technology expert discusses some of the hard problems that the Department of Defense (DOD) faces in its struggle to bring the best tech on board. He states that while the DOD has big pockets, their money does not flow as easily as some private industry companies, and the wheels for progress are often slower moving. For these and other reasons, Katz states that many of the best tech startups are choosing to work in the private sector to avoid headaches and to accelerate their progress. Thus, Katz is helping the US Air Force to streamline their process, to make it easier for the best and brightest startups to say yes to working with them first. By combining outside money with the startup, the DOD can accelerate their process as well, and be less drained financially as two separate teams are working to advance the technology and deliver robust products. Katz gives an overview of some of the most exciting technology startups that he is working with. From blockchain advances to invisible ink and specialty drones, the technology products are diverse and offer amazing advances for the public and private sector. He discusses drones that attack other drones, technology that can map cellular and WIFI signals and locate unauthorized or enemy equipment, drone-based radiation detectors, and more. As technology and autonomous products continue to advance, Katz expects to see many probes and unmanned devices taking their place on the battlefield and in the private industry world as well.

Wombi Rose learns by doing. After recognizing his love for art and engineering, he took on a college experience in a literal shipyard, learning how to engineer large vessels. When he graduated college, he created his own experiences as a consultant in the energy and ship industries worldwide. So naturally, when Wombi got a call from his friend John Wise encouraging him to apply for Harvard and go into business together, Wombi was in. An accepted Harvard application and a trip to Vietnam brought Wombi and John to the inspiration that would eventually become Lovepop-- a business that would elevate the pop-up greeting card. Fast forward to December 2015, and with Wombi and John took Lovepop to Shark Tank, beating out nearly 40,000 other applicants. With around $300k in sales in the first 18 months of their business, some wondered why the two entrepreneurs would consider sharing a piece of their business with an outside investor. But as Wombi explains in this episode, Lovepop isn’t just about intricate greeting cards-- it’s about making a larger impact. And after successfully securing an investment on Shark Tank, they way their business has quickly transformed is proving him correct.   About Wombi Rose: Born in Berlin and raised in Pittsburg, Wombi Rose started LovePop with his business partner John Wise in 2014. Wombi attended the Webb Institute for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering before eventually applying for Harvard University and earning his MBA in 2015.   Show Highlights:    Hear how Wombi turned his love for art and engineering into a lucrative business Learn where Wombi and John found the inspiration behind Lovepop  Insights from Wombi’s experience building an international production team The motivation behind putting an already successful business on Shark Tank How to prepare for pitching on Shark Tank What not to do as a Shark Tank participant The biggest tips for Shark Tank participants to be successful Wombi gives advice on choosing the right investor for your business The importance of customer “happiness” over customer “service”     Links Mentioned in the Show:   Lovepop   Daily Motion - Lovepop on Shark Tank - Season 7 Episode 11   YouTube - Lovepop on The View   Twitter - Billboard Music Awards Lovepop video   Lovepossible - a Lovepop collaboration with The Possible Project

Recorded 18th February 2018 This week saw another deadly school shooting in the US and whilst we don't want to dwell on that event we felt it appropriate to just mention our horror and sorrow at another senseless tragedy. Meanwhile we are joined by the esteemed Jeff Gamet, Managing Editor at The Mac Observer and co-host of the Apple Context Machine Podcast to talk about the HomePod, “white-ring gate”, Twitter killing its Mac client and more. On this week's show: APPLE HomePods leaving a white ring on wooden surfaces – The Verge NEVER place anything directly onto polished/waxed/oiled wood surfaces. There is a reason your grandmother insisted on cork backed tablemats and coasters etc and never let you put stuff on her dining table - and it wasn't bloodymindedness! Maybe Apple should have included a warning like “avoid placing HomePod directly into polished/waxed/oiled wood surfaces” because perhaps not everyone has/had grandmothers/mothers like me who drummed that stuff into me from year dot. And it isn't just the HomePod...

When it comes to luxury weddings and events, every detail can become a work of art. Today, I am talking all about business with Wombi Rose, CEO of Lovepop. Lovepop specializes in 3D greeting cards that are truly works of art. Whether it is a card for someone you love or unique invitations to a wedding, Lovepop communicates your message and affection in a unique and surprising way you just can’t find anywhere else. I am excited to have Wombi on the show today because his business is transforming the greeting card game. It is an unusual story that I know you are going to want to hear. Lovepop cards are a feat of both artistry and engineering, which makes sense once you know about Wombi’s background. Before turning to business, Wombi’s attended school for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Encouraged by friend and future business partner, John Wise, to join him at Harvard Business school, Wombi found a new avenue that combined his love of learning and desire to solve real-world problems. While completing his studies, Wombi experienced firsthand the beautiful paper art of kirigami in Vietnam. He and John were mesmerized by the cards and knew they were something special. Neither of the guys felt inclined towards consumer goods, but the kirigami cards demanded to be brought to the rest of the world! These 3D cards combine artistry and architecture in a beautiful way that is very much like Wombi himself, a juxtaposition of art and science. “We memorized our entire business and our entire financial model. You have to know your numbers on Shark Tank.” - Wombi Rose If the name Lovepop sounds familiar, it’s most likely because Wombi’s company is one of the greatest success stories from Shark Tank. I asked Wombi all about the process of applying for and then being on Shark Tank, and he was more than happy to share the experience. What compelled Kevin O’Leary to back Lovepop was their desire to spread some love with beautiful art. These guys are turning out a new magnificent design each week, and it is evident that talent runs deep in the DNA at Lovepop. Wombi and his team have a strong business model and a deep desire to make the world a little more beautiful, and that is the heart of so many of us in the Wedding Business. Show Highlights: Wombi shares his international history as well as his love of learning. Hear how Wombi fell in love with one unique school, and the art and science he learned about constructing ships. How one internship and the team atmosphere there led him to consulting and starting a business with John. Why designing a ship and designing a 3D card has striking similarities. Wombi and his colleagues took a huge risk, and boy has it paid off! What compelled Wombi to apply to appear on Shark Tank, and what it takes to survive. Discover what happens after the cameras stop rolling. Wombi and John made it to the Billboard Music Awards. Learn all about the Possible Project. An engineering education and an artistic perspective are the motivating forces behind Lovepop’s philanthropy. Why “Customer Happiness” is a core value at Lovepop. Every week, they launch a new design! Links: Lovepop Online  The Possible Project Lovepop Team Video

Episode 203 - Why's it feel so good, Taylor Nation?  Warning.. If Taylor says it, we can say it! We may or may not have dropped a few swear words in this episode as we walk through an in-depth analysis of "I Did Something Bad." Our hosts explore how this track connects to the larger album-wide theme of how one's reputation is formed, how Taylor uses a literary device called antithesis to place emphasis on important concepts, and how her references to the Salem witch trials and possibly the play The Crucible are shown through a modern day lens of media and fan frenzies.  Also, be sure to check out our sponsor for the episode, Lovepop, for some AMAZING 3-D cards - receive special pricing on 5 or more cards plus FREE shipping when you visit LovePop.com/TaylorTalk.
