When COVID closed every Pinot's Palette studio overnight, we changed one thing about innovation. The committee went from monthly to weekly. The process already existed, so all we had to change was the speed. Build it in an ordinary quarter. https://t.co/GWXmSSAzKP

I sat in the Visionary seat for years and got it wrong. Then I took the Integrator seat at another company and got that wrong in the opposite direction.

Yes, you can innovate inside EOS. We did not have an innovation problem at Pinot's Palette. We had an innovation traffic problem. What fixed it was not a Rock per idea. It was a pipeline, and a committee of franchisees who ran it. https://t.co/go6RdrWzSw

Most angel checks get written after a conversation at a party. Good story, compelling founder, in before anyone reads a cap table.

Investing alone gets expensive in ways that take years to show up.

Angel investing solo in Houston? DM me.

Every founder in Houston has an opinion about AI. Few have thought about where the electricity comes from.

An idea is not a company. Usually it is a product. Sometimes it is a feature.

The question that saves you comes first. Is there a model, and will anyone pay for it.

How to Start a Startup, the Ion, tonight 5 to 6:30. Free, and I will be there.

What’s the sneakiest mistake I hear about from startup founders?

Launching a product fast that isn’t ready (or scalable).

Successful product launches are hard to get right without previous experience or guidance. My team and I at T-Minus Solutions have both.
