In the past 7 days Mashable has posted over 10 How to be a startup success tips. Its part of their Digital Entrepreneur Series that started later this year. I guess they decided to put it on overdrive this week.
Just in case you might of missed them here is a quick rundown:
- 5 Tips for Startup Success from the CEO of Meetup:
- Focus on Solving One Puzzle at a Time
- Build for Surprise
- Work on What’s Most Fascinating to You
- Be a Maker and Builder of the Product
- Form a Killer Team
- 5 Tips for Startup Success From a Co-Founder of HootSuite:
- Address a Real Problem
- Work with the Right People
- Division of Labor is Your Friend
- Stay Focused
- Be Visible
When I look at both of these lists two things jump out at me; being focused and having the right team. I guess those two things really do set you pace to be a successful startup.
This fact make me excited for whats coming out of Pittsburgh. Most of the up-and-coming startupers I meet in Pittsburgh have these qualities. When I ask them what there doing they have clear idea and mission of what the want to accomplish. They also have about 1-3 more people, usually working away, right behind them.
Pretty soon the word Startup and Pittsburgh are going to be like bacon and eggs. Seeing one without the other is going to look strange and unsatisfying.
