VentureBeat was kind enough to publish a piece I submitted to their Entrepreneur Corner, under the title “How to make your startup succeed where others have failed.” That’s a good title, by a smart editor who knows what people want to read. I actually submitted a more modest title, “A brief history of failure” – because I’m actually not so sure I know how to succeed where others have failed. I’m just saying that a history of failure in something you want to do isn’t a reason to stop trying. Please go give it a read and comment there if you like!
