The VC Version of Kick the Can
I got an email this morning from an entrepreneur that I know that has been trying to raise an early round from a "seed VC investor" for the past few months. He's put together (and closed) a decent angel round and left it open for this seed investor.
Too small to fail
One secret of being a large financial institution is that you can take huge risks because you're too big to fail. If you hit craps and lose it all, don't worry, because you'll get bailed out.

Stock Prices Rise 21% When Firms Announce Energy Management Projects
When selecting projects under a limited budget, a firm should implement the project that will return the most value. Ultimately, firm value is measured by stock price, which can be impacted when the firm makes a major announcement. This paper shows that announcements of energy management projects correlate with a 21.33% increase in stock price within 150 days of the announcement. This increase is in addition to the risk-adjusted return the firm would normally experience. For example, during a “bull market” a firm’s expected return was 10%. After the announcement, the return would increase by 21.33%, for a net return of 31.33%. These results suggest that investors react positively to energy management projects. This outcome demonstrates one more strategic incentive for firms to implement energy management projects.
GENERATING LEADS, BRAND, RELATIONSHIPS, AND TRUST AT THE SAME TIME
By Mike Schultz Relationships. Trust. Delivery of superb value. These are core ingredients of a successful service firm. Talk to 100 service firm marketers and leaders, and they'll all tell you (and most of them believe it, even if they're wrong) that their firm is in the top of their industry in each of these categories. Why, then, do service firms typically do such a poor job of bringing relationships, trust, and value into their marketing mixes?

Legal Marketing: Your logo, a visual foundation for your firm
Your logo is a visual representation of your firm, and it should be recognizable, consistent and memorable. Your brand – and by extension, your logo–is your promise to your clients. It includes the way your office looks, the way you answer your phone and emails, the type of people you hire, the way you deliver your services-ultimately it’s who you are as a firm. The most obvious extension of your branding is often your firm logo so creating one should be approached with a level of seriousness and dedication.

Which Client Are You?
Growth and profitability for your firm is less about acquiring and maintaining more clients, and more about strategic selection and retention. Many (most) firms grapple with this concept, as it appears counter-productive to expend energy in acquiring clients, only to let some of them go, and there’s always the consideration of the potential that a particular client may bring to the firm in the future. Unless clients are proactively managed through a client growth process, the value to your firm will be realized a lot more slowly and the returns are unlikely to be as high when you let the client drive the process. The resources that your firm needs to employ in order to acquire and service your clients, is also a key consideration in how you grow your client base.
