On Entrepreneurship: Be Passionate

Today, while I’m in Tel Aviv, I am spending time meeting with a number of early-early-stage startups in search of their first investment capital. When I am evaluating which of the Entrepreneurs I should consider taking another look at, one of the things I ask myself is how passionate the person was when pitching their idea.

The people who simply use this opportunity to meet with me to go through the motions of pitching their company but who are not passionate about what they are saying are most likely are going to fall into the blur of the moment; The people who stand out in my mind at the end of the day are based on a number of traits but a major one is how passionate they were at the time when they were pitching their idea.

Just a suggestions - whenever you are pitching your company, please be sure to share your passion for your company with everyone around you. Engage your audience. Those who connect with others are most likely to find themselves one step closer to getting funded.

It is your want: Nike Zoom Kobe VI
Nike Zoom Kobe VI is Kobe Bryant's sixth signature model from Nike. Like its predecessors the Nike Zoom Kobe IV and Nike Zoom Kobe V, the Nike Zoom Kobe VI uses a below ankle cut. Zoom Air cushioning and a molded heel are carried over from previous models with the most drastic changes appearing on the upper. Inspired by Kobe's "Black Mamba" nickname the shoe features a reptile pattern upper marked by a scaly finish. Three-layer Flywire technology adds lightweight support for top performance.
A variety of colorways exist for the Nike Zoom Kobe VI from the Lakers' inspired "Del Sol" and "Concord" makeups to wild variations like the "Stoplight Pack" (commonly referred to as the "Grinch"), "3-D", "Glass Blue", "Rice", "Sunset", and many more. The Zoom Kobe VI is also available on Nike iD where customers can choose their own color blocking and personalization.
