By Liz Pearce at 1:55 pm on 05/20/2013 | 1 Comment

If you’re an entrepreneur, there’s a good chance that many of your conversations — and a good chunk of your inner dialogue — are consumed by thoughts of fundraising.

Dogfooding: Find a way to be your own customer

In early ‘90s, while working on Windows NT, Microsoft popularized an idea to make everyone on the team use early builds of their own software.

Facebook is nice and all, but with one billion users, it's hard to feel like there's any more than a pool of statuses and food photos.
