Tweets of the Week: Startups


August 5th, 2011 | Filed under: Motiv | Tags: , No Comments »

From two political parties working together in Washington to the unusual split of Kraft into two companies, there was a lot to keep up with this week. Rather than weighing in on the negativity around the political debate, we chose to focus our attention on all the positive things going on in the world of startups. Here are some of the most interesting things we came across this week:

•Want to support businesses started by entrepreneurs 30 years old and younger? Nonprofit Our Time aggregates daily deals from businesses started by young entrepreneurs.
•A survey of 550 startup staffers completed by the folks at BestVendor revealed Google’s dominance in the realm of web and business tools used by startups (see who else makes popular tools here: http://motv.st/oMMi8Z)
•How do you tell your boss that you are leaving to join a startup company? Quora members weigh in here.
•It seems that everyone within ten feet of a word processor has a few words of wisdom for entrepreneurs and startup companies, but we think that Paul Graham’s essays are easily some of the most informative, relevant, and enlightening.


Perhaps the Renaissance analogies have grown a bit stale, but we think there is definitely a noteworthy amount of innovative product and service offerings hitting the markets these days, from Shanghai to Silicon Valley, that warrant a closer look. Be sure to tune in next week – it’s safe to say our Twitter topic will ‘score’ a major ‘win’.

Cheers,
