To Be Fitter, Faster, Stronger Doesn't Mean Loosing Your USP's! Rory McInerney Shares His Startup Story and Tells Us How Small Businesses Can Avoid the Pitfalls of Expansion

And if you are going to drastically affect those things, it’s probably not the right thing to do."

DC Cahalane's Obsession for Startups and Creating a Productivity Platform Through Teamwork
"When you are a big guy like Apple every single marketing move you make is going to have effect on your stock price, by the end of the day you could be 50b richer or poorer, just on the basis of what you are doing, but when you are a small guy in a startup, you get to go out and try different logos, messaging and try selling to different niches."

Corporate Venture Backing for Entrepreneur Kevin O'Shaughnessy Creates a Product Market Fit from Cityhook to Indigo
"There are no recipes for finding the right balance in terms of scale. It seems that everything is a combination of heuristics, secrets and I suppose figuring it out at the last minute. It's the phone call at four in the morning or the little tweet notification or that something has gone down and that terrifies every CTO out there."

From Food to Photos: Niall Harbison Discusses the Highs and Lows of Being an Entrepreneur and How Startups Can Raise Awareness Using Social Media
"My advice to someone starting out? I think start building while working for somebody else. Sit up until 2 o'clock in the morning. Start with as little money as you can. Friends and family are a good place to start - if it is a good idea they might invest. Get something to the market quickly and try to get some customers who are willing to pay."

Jason Roe of Parkya and Predict Sheds Some Entrepreneurial Insights from Growth Hacking to Startup Business Advice
"I always class myself as a Tech Founder. I think the hardest part for a tech-founder is to go out and reach out to customers. The first sale is always the toughest.
