FYI - about to send you an "official" email regarding the launch of Ringside Startup -- <a href="http://www.ringsidestartup.com">http://www.ringsidestartup.com</a>. I soft-launched at end of last week, wanted to make sure I had any kinks out. It's an exciting project that I hope the tech community embraces -- hopefully readers (contributors) will see a small contribution as going towards their entrepreneurship education.

Don't have too many co-founders or partners in a venture. If you thought you and you're one co-founder couldn't see eye to eye all the time, wait till you see what it's like with three or four. 2. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. When you see a successful model (this is especially true on the internet) copy it and add to it, don't do something completely contradictory to it. 3. Trust your instincts and listen to yourself instead of others. Because at the end of the day, if your venture isn't as successful as you wanted it to be, it will be easier for you to live with yourself knowing you did it your way, and not your advisor's or friends. Those are just a few, i probably have enough to comprise a whole post's worth, but i will cut it short for now. 1. Don’t have too many co-founders or partners in a venture.
