Why Venture Forth?

As we ramp up for our next cohort of Venture Forth, I wanted to try to capture why entrepreneurs tell us they get so much out of the class. For direct quotes of what they've told us, check out our testimonials page: http://www.techranchaustin.com/testimonials

Many startups that I have talked with have mentioned this sense of isolation in getting their business up and running. There are several dimensions to this, but can largely be summed up with not having anywhere to go for a specific need.

Friction is Feedback

From Martin Zwilling of Examiner.com:

 

Entrepreneurship is not a job for the Lone Ranger. Every startup requires building and maintaining effective relationships with people, including partners, team members, customers, and investors. That means giving and asking for feedback, and learning from it, especially negative feedback.
