  • Hey, Jeremy: Whatever the reason, she's given many years to building up the company. So, good for her that she can be relieved of what has to be incredible pressure.

  • Thanks, Scott: The amazing thing is that many of these 'successful' guys share very similar advice. I've done several hundred of these interviews, and you can categorize their advice in about 10 themes.

  • Thanks, Bill: I hope you look through our library of "lessons learned" videos. Each entrepreneur has some nugget of wisdom to share about building a business.

  • Thanks, Renee It's true that entrepreneurs can get "too" emotional about their ventures. At times, I've been guilty of it myself.

  • Wish they also had a way to filter out "R" rated videos and profanity. Would be good if they had a "child" mode feature, which they don't.

  • Great pitch posted on 12/17/09. Jay states the problem, the consequences of that problem, the solution, the benefits of his service and the go-to strategy. Nice presentation for 3 minutes. It would have been good, however, to get a better idea of the business model.

  • Thanks, Jodi: Chris did a great job editing this piece. We have so many other lessons I wish we could have fit in. And, there are many lessons from 2008 that fit these categories as well. Here's our 2008 highlights: http://vator.tv/n... and don't forget to check out the lessons learned archives. I think we have several hundred lessons learned videos and more than a thousand lessons learned articles. http://vator.tv/n...

  • Glad you like it. Re the video, I did admit in the piece that the first video was taken with my handy cam. You should watch the rest of the video, however. They're all produced well with our professional video team.

  • Thanks, John - I don't know Eventful or Constant Contacts that well. But they're so different from Meetup. Eventbrite really provides the holistic set of tools to create, market and complete the transaction around events. Meetup doesn't provide the same value at all. I'd imagine Meetup could use Eventbritte to market its events.

  • Chris: That's the challenge for companies leveraging Facebook. They have to make sure they can capture a users' emails by enticing them to complete a more thorough reg form.

  • It's funny. I didn't even think of Evite until I was in the midst of the interview. But as Kevin mentioned, Eventbrite is far more about "transactions" - which requires a totally different set of expertise and knowledge than media companies have.

  • Drue: Great point about lack of patience when watching an online video! Overall, I think Alex does bring it home when he starts talking about the ROI and the value proposition. And, yes - we do take pride in our editing for our shows.
