TrueBridge Capital Partners recently released a report on the State of the Venture Capital Industry. It covers venture capital firm fundraising, investments, valuations, exits, and returns with a focus on 2014, but also has a lot of historical data. A couple of charts jumped out at me. The first is the number of active VC firms. As the study chart below shows, there's been a steady decline in the number of VC firms since the Internet bubble of the late 1990's. MORE

The English word quick is related to Latin vivus , “alive.”. The version of the Apostle’s Creed I grew up with contains this sentence: “Thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.” The line echoes 1 Peter 4:5 (KJV): ‘Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.” The “ quick and the dead” are the “ living and the dead.”. When a fetus begins to move in the womb, it is said to quicken , that is, “show signs of life.”. MORE

Waaaay back in the day, I was Cheryl Richardson 's Virtual Assistant, she was the new president of ICF, and we were deeply engaged in working on the first-ever International Coach Federation conference.

Shaa Wasmund says she often advises entrepreneurs or those scaling their business to identify the one thing they can do that day that will make the biggest difference. Not five things.

A reader is puzzled by a line in a movie: While watching The Bourne Ultimatum, I observed a CIA officer saying “It ends when we’ve won “ [I’m] a bit confused with this construction as it does not indicate future though the context of sentence [indicates that] the officer is talking about some time in future.

On the subject of hope, civil rights hero Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” This would suggest to me that life will surly deal us all plenty of opportunities to embraced the darkness of hopelessness, but we have to learn to dig deeper to lay hold of an expectation that we are always progressing. Without this trait, we run the risk of be swallowed whole by the monster of despair. MORE
This use of the word dispositive in a letter to the editor in my morning paper left me puzzled: Religious dogma and scripture tend to be grab-bags out of which all kinds of often-contradictory points can be made by [whoever] wants to reach in, and who is to say which of them is dispositive? I think I know what the letter-writer meant by dispositive , but I can’t help wondering why he didn’t use a more familiar word when addressing a general audience. MORE

Sleeping is usually an underestimated activity either because we are not aware of what goes on during sleep or due to such a tiring and stressful routine that we only want to lie down and fall asleep. When scientific connections are brought to light about sleeping and our general health, we become more attentive than ever.

By the time you finish eating breakfast, it’s still early outside. Yet you feel energized and fully awake, ready to take on the day. MORE
