How can you maintain investor alignment with your business goals?
When I raised venture capital from Techstars, Peterson Ventures, Kickstart Seed fund and a couple rockstar angels - their goal was to get a 10x+ return on their capital - it was pretty clear upfront, that is why they were investing - it was also an element of wanting to join what could be the next big thing - To align with your investors and crush your business goals - open communication is KEY. There are times where as an entrepreneur you may find that you need to take the long route to position yourself better than the quick fix to get the buck - keep that dialogue clearly open with your investors so they know your plan - You are playing chess out there, your investors should know your next 2-3 moves before you make them.

How can you create an environment of open communication during meetings?
When I come to the meeting prepared - my team sees that example and they come prepared the next time. If I come and wing it... so do they. Unless someone has been specifically assigned to prepare something, most will not. Create a culture of preparedness, where people understand that before a conversation/meeting/discussion happens, they should take a moment, write down some of their thoughts into bullet points and come ready to engage.

What are the most effective ways to communicate your value proposition online?
If you can explain it to your grandma and she gets it...then you've done it right. -Stay away from jargon. -Keep it simple and use an example that is easy to understand. -Sometimes comparing yourself to something else that is well known can help ie: we are the uber for soccer teams etc.... Keeping it as simple as possible will allow for more people to know who you are, what you do, and why you do it. Helping them get that "ah-ha" moment within 7 seconds would be ideal.

How can you use client complaints to improve your product or service?
Working with your clients like it is a partnership, being on the same team, and listening to their complaints is an opportunity to create a solution that will either: - keep them around as a client longer - create an opportunity to sell another product or service - fix a problem and apologize for something that your company did. With all 3 of these situations there is nothing but win/win there.
