Hi! Let's talk about neighborhood accessibility for a moment:

Every morning that I possibly can, I start the day with a 30 minute -ish walk in my neighborhood. (Tangent for another day: sure this is "exercise" but why I really commit to this practice is that it does WONDERS for my mental health and lets me "complete the stress cycle" in a way my body needs and wants. I really can't say enough how precious this time has become to me.) In the process, I have become much more intimately familiar with my neighborhood from an up close perspective that driving doesn't allow. I've grown increasing disturbed by how so many of my neighbors are repeatedly and flagrantly contributing to accessibility issues for disabled people who also live here, undoubtedly leading to challenges, frustrations, and greater isolation. While my current neighborhood is in south Austin, TX I know that there are neighborhoods just like mine all across the country...I grew up in one in Indiana. I've personally seen them in Colorado, California, New York, Illinois, and New Jersey. So I decided to raise a little awareness about this with real life examples. I don't talk about this stuff enough with folks who know me "IRL" so today my (long) Instagram story is called, “my neighborhood is hostile to disabled people and yours probably is too.” If you, like me, have been privileged with 2 legs, eyes, and other body parts that work relatively well up to this point in your life, it can be easy to assume that we all experience our neighborhoods similarly. This is DEEPLY untrue. So that's where this story picks up... (Image descriptions under the cut.)

Image 1: Shows a sidewalk ending abruptly in someone's yard. Text over the image reads, "But people who use mobility aids and depend on sidewalks to safely get out of their block are often forgotten. Here are just a few examples I peeped today:" Image 2: Shows a different side walk that abruptly ends in someone's right at a sewer access point. Text over this image reads, "Here’s a sidewalk that dumps you out in grass and no ramp. This is a HUGE gap in public accessibility in neighborhoods like mine. In fact, there are *no streets* with continuous sidewalks anywhere near me. They stop and end at random everywhere.: Image 3: Shows a sidewalk next to parking spaces where there is a big gap between the sidewalk and the asphalt, with parking bumpers in between the asphalt and the sidewalk. Text on this image reads, "Tell me, how does a wheelchair user get to the sidewalk? These parking stops are like 2 feet apart." Image 4: Shows a sidewalk with a pickup truck in someone's driveway that is parked covering 100% of the sidewalk's passage. Text on this image reads, "When there ARE sidewalks, people with huge vehicles park with their bumpers across the sidewalk. Other people become a HUGE accessibility obstacle for their neighbors. If you are bling, easily navigating around this will be a challenge. Image 5: Shows a construction pallet of materials sitting squarely in the public sidewalk. Text on the image reads, "Speaking of people blocking their neighbor’s access, let’s see how construction (gentrification, mind you) impacts things". Image 6: Shows more construction materials in someone's yard carelessly stored across 100% of the sidewalk space in front of a hour. Text over the image reads, "SERIOUSLY? The sidewalk is not yours to use as you see fit for personal storage. This stuff has been here for MONTHS at this point." Image 7: Shows another home renovation/construction site where the dirt/soil has been dug up around the sidewalk and is covering it all. No text, but a giphy of a facepalm reaction is overlaid. Image 8: Shows a badly damaged and in horrible shape sidewalk over a bridge. Text over the image reads, "This neighborhood was developed in the 60-70s and its infrastructure is crumbling like so much of our nation. We are all at danger when bridges start crumbling, but especially if you use mobility aids and the sidewalk is falling and wavy. An older person would be a hiiiiiiigh fall risk." Image 9: Shows strange speed bumps placed in a very close together pair. Text over the image reads, "These double speed bumps are supposed to slow unsafe traffic, but can you imagine being a motorized wheelchair user right now? Seriously scary." Image 10: Shows another pickup truck with some kind of additional grate added to the back of it which is parked in a driveway blocking the sidewalk. Text over this final image reads, "These issues are huge and not easily solvable but at the very least, we could: ✅Think beyond your own physical experience ❌Be aware of how we each contribute to isolating our disabled neighbors in their homes and ❌NOT block sidewalks especially when street parking is ample here. This is just CRUEL."

The Body in Bloom, or Adventures in Shape-Shifting. PregBlog#3

I grew up constantly worried about my weight.  What preteen or teen girl doesn’t? And I gained a lot of it.  And I lost a lot of it. Convinced I was getting “fat,” (though, not only coincidentally, I was entering womanhood), I went on my first diet when I was 11.  I used diet books, counted calories in a little journal, measuring each scoop of peanut butter and each bite of rice cake.  I was not actually “fat”; I was getting boobs and hips and curves, but that fact was lost on me.  (To add: In our rather-militaristic Houston, TX PE class someone had measured my BMI and said it was higher than average, though I think I weighed about 110, ran a decent mile and won the sit-up contest; they also fanatically measured us for scoliosis and sent many of us home with confusing results. Come to think of it, I also got braces for my incorrect bite shortly after I got glasses for my bad eyes -- adolescence is a time of measurement).  Clearly, I had not been exposed to what good curves could be, thinking that lanky and straight (and also, not coincidentally, white) was my dream aesthetic.  This was the late 80s, an era for tracksuits, jogging, Lean Cuisines, diet sodas and no-butter in favor of margarine (the kind later to be found to be very bad).  Instead of enjoying what was the beautiful blossoming of my body, I was set on preventing it, and I’m pretty sure the calorie restriction wasn’t awesome for my metabolism.

Fast-forward to the last three years of high school, when I actually did gain extra weight.  This time, I owe it to a little-more-than typical teen angst and insecurity — I hid behind baggy tee-shirts as I let my body pack on a safe and protective layer.  Not seeing others like me in a markedly un-diverse town and having moved around the country 5 times by the age of 16, I ate weird s**it like coolwhip and tortillas: comfort food.  This was the Mohave Desert east of Los Angeles and I can also blame the desert, the arid, treeless, waterless place that yielded far too many suicides and drug addictions along with a subculture of weirdo outcasts indulging in our melancholia.  The conservative, culture-less and very-basic Catholic School with only a sprinkle of electives was run by jocks, cheerleaders and priests, and I rebelled by wearing Dad’s blazers and thrift-store oddities, often oversized and masculine. I hid behind a curtain of angle-cut hair and remember hating looking at mirrors, turning my face as though seeing myself would release the boogey-man. I also felt just about as equally “person” as girl, enjoying a bit of the androgynous.

Leaping forward at least two decades, I’m a healthy, active, in-between-sized, femme-presenting Filipina woman in her early 40s who loves her own body but still fights fears of gaining too much weight, “losing it” or “falling apart.”  After all, after 40, heck, after 35, aren’t we supposed to just go “downhill” or certainly “over the hill”? Aren’t we told we’re less desireable?  As our metabolism often naturally does slow down in our 30s, I have accepted the 5-10 extra pounds that has become part of my norm, despite being active and health-conscious.  I recognize my privileges as looking younger than my years, and yet because I didn’t grow up feeling pretty and got little romantic attention (from any gender) until mid-college — I don’t take my late-blooming for granted.  I still fear all the things we women get conditioned to, as we age: wrinkles and blemishes, uncontrollable weight gain, tiredness, declining flexibility or mobility.  The media is obsessed with youth and thinness, even if we are not.  Let’s add that there’s not a lot of representation of a gracefully-aging woman of color.

Now add: becoming pregnant.  Ha! All of the above on my list, bring them on, hormones and blooming belly!  Let’s start with “wrinkles,” one you may not expect: I normally have pretty unwrinkled skin (thanks to melanin/genes), but beginning my first trimester, I both got acne breakouts AND itchy patches/wrinkles under my eyes at once.  As someone joked with me, it’s a little like being an old teenager....who’s pregnant.

Weight gain — well, we can’t avoid that, and shouldn’t.  A pregnant woman at average gains about 25-35 lbs during pregnancy, give or take, some more, some less. The amniotic fluid, extra blood volume, body mass, and the baby itself must increase; we literally grow to provide the baby nutrients.   I’m in the late-second trimester, said to be the fun time when your energy returns, first-trimester nuisances calm down, and you get used to being pregs. It’s a time when you can revel in not having to explain weight gain to people who are asking themselves, “is she?”  The belly announces itself now, loudly, not in a whisper.  I had a major growth spurt between about week 17-21; my belly felt like a taut balloon being pushed out from the inside.  “Hold on now!” I felt like telling it.  On the outside it seemed all of sudden, I was like, “boom!” Going swimming in a bikini with the melon-belly was fun.

What I love about this time is being more aware of the sense of a person sharing my body, this tumbling, squirming, peddling being.  The Week-20 full anatomical sonogram leads to relief for many, since we can check on all the major organs and parts.  In mine, he nearly waved at us and did all kinds of what I’ll call dance moves since he has a dancer mommy. Seeing all of this correlating with the sensation confirms that indeed, I was feeling fetal movement, not just imagining things.  Until about Week 17, I was still waking up thinking it had all been a dream. Now, not so.  

I’m not yet at the point of feeling so heavy I’m lumbering, or hurting, but I have those possibilities to look forward to.  Picking things up and tying my shoes is already weird to say the least, and I imagine myself even less able to bend once the baby occupies even more room. 

It’s a new kind of learning to love my body.  And all of this has been to say that I’m used to the ebbs and flows; I pay attention not because I have always felt good in my skin, but because I haven’t.  I have learned that strength and stamina are important qualities of feeling beautiful, more than how we “look” on the outside …our beauty comes from how we feel (I tried to avoid the cliche, but now I have to say it: it comes from within).  And I feel so in love with this little fish sharing this body with me that I’m sure that the love shows on my (wrinkled, acne-d but glowing) face.  

The body in bloom for the pregnant woman is the body shapeshifting, because unlike a flower, I won’t bloom and then wither; I’ll keep changing as the body does, pregnant or not.  I hear from mommies that postpartum bodies are still changing and it is not easy, nor the same for everyone.  Rather than focus on going “back” to normal, just as in aging we have to accept that we cannot go “back” to our youth— I want to look forward to continually changing, growing new senses, new awareness, new ways of being in the body and in the world. And becoming a parent will be a shapeshifting journey to last many years more.

Motown Chips

I have heard many stories about the formation of potato chip companies, but one of the most fascinating stories involves Detroit Friends Potato Chips.  I met Founder Michael "Mike" Wimberley, at the 2018 Sweets and Snacks Expo in Chicago.  

Mike grew up in a family of community activists with a social conscience.  His mother set up a community center in Detroit under the auspices of Friends of Detroit and Tri Counties.   After the recession hit Detroit hard, many of the buildings in Detroit were abandoned and subsequently razed.  There were many vacant lots, one with a half stripped mobile home, that needed attention.  Michael organized community meetings and ultimately engaged a landscape designer.  The soil on these downtown Detroit lots was tested and it was determined that the soil was well suited for urban farming.  With the help of volunteers, lots were cleaned  up, and the Friends of Detroit and Tri Counties started growing potatoes.  It soon became clear that the organization could not compete on price with the larger potato farms, so they started making potato chips.  

The potato chips were served in a local soup kitchen run by Friends of Detroit and Tri Counties where local underprivileged regulars often received their only meal of the day.  Without any experience in the chip business and no recipe, the chips were so terrible that the regulars threw them in the garbage.  A major breakthrough resulted when a  friend took a trip to New York City and visited a bakery.  The friend marveled at the quality of the bread and asked the baker what his secret was.  The baker responded that he made bad bread, until he finally figured out a great recipe and process through experimentation.  After the friend reported on what the New York City baker told her, Michael engaged three to four cooks who tried different recipes with various types of potatoes.  They underwent trial and error for four years, understanding that they needed a niche, something original, as they would not have the resources to out Frito-Lay Frito Lay or other major chip companies.  As the chefs experimented, the soup kitchen served as a beta testing site with close observation regarding how many of the chips were thrown into the garbage.  Trash became the barometer.  After four years, at Christmas 2013, they figured out the recipe and process.  They then set up vendor tables at different Christmas/Holiday events and fairs to further test the chips.  

Taking inspiration from the founder of Linked-In Founder, Reid Hoffman  who said you need a Minimally Viable Product ("MVP") and emphasizes that entrepreneurs should start with a very thin product.

“It’s the emphasis [on] time. It’s getting out and getting in the market and learning and moving, [which are] much more important than the ego satisfaction of ‘Oh, I want to do it completely behind a cloak and then [remove] the cloak and everyone knows how wonderful and what a genius I am cause they think the product is so wonderful.’ That’s actually rarely the winning strategy. The actual winning strategy is ‘I’m moving, I’m getting out there and I’m adapting at a fast rate.' . . . Tackling those early hypotheses as soon as you can is extremely important.”

To launch their product as soon as possible, the chips were placed in wax paper in brown lunch bags to which a business cards were stapled.  Michael then joined the Specialty Foods Association ("SFA") that puts on the Fancy Food Shows in both New York and San Francisco each year.  A regional representative of the SFA referred Michael to the SFA Magazine which decided to do an article about the company.  

A couple of days after the article appeared, Michael received an e-mail from O, the Oprah Magazine, a partnership between Oprah Winfrey and Hearst Communications, asking "Do you ship chips."   After initially thinking that the e-mail was some type of practical joke, Michael sent some chips.  He then received another e-mail stating "We Love Your Chips" and explaining that the chips would be under consideration for Oprah's favorite Things for 2015.  The process for consideration was very rigorous with Michael explaining that it was akin to the television show The Apprentice.  The employees often burned the midnight oil completing the various and lengthy requirements and after eighteen months, in December 2016, it was announced in a small blurb in O magazine as well as a 30 second video that Detroit Friends were one of Oprah's favorite things for 2016.

The clout of Oprah's endorsement put Michael and the company on the map.

The company is employing people downtown and is part of the resurgence of downtown Detroit.  Michael's Mom would be very proud of her son.  All of the proceeds from the sale of the potato chips go to run the soup kitchen.  Check out the company's web-site, https://www.detroitchips.com/ that proclaims:

Some of the potatoes for these were born on a vacant lot in Detroit's Hope District. They were nursed is our soup

kitchen for mentally and physically challenged. They are made by community activists in an effort  to bring work,hope and dignity to our vulnerable community. Some proceeds go to maintain the soup Kitchen and to create other financially sustainable grassroots projects.

Michael is currently leveraging with the State of Michigan Department of Agriculture.  See the photo of Michael and me at the display at the Sweets and Snacks Expo.  The chips are currently available at a half dozen Whole Foods in the Detroit area as well as some Mom and Pop convenience stores in Houston, TX and Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  Michael is currently investing steps to expand the company through, distribution, integration or strategic alliances. Michael is a dynamic person and I was really moved by his story and honored to meet my "Detroit Friend."  

Enjoy Sammy David Jr. sing "Hello Detroit."

Repost from @charleycrockett A lot of folks know I was born in San Benito, TX but we actually lived on South Padre Island during the first year I was around. Not long after that we moved out to the resaca on Old Port Road in between Los Fresnos and Bayview. I’ve been described often in the press as being raised in a trailer park but really it was just trailers on a rural route in the middle of orchards, sugar cane fields, cattle, and horses. Everybody lived in a trailer besides the grapefruit magnates and it ain’t really changed hardly at all. Early on it was my mama, my pops, my brother, my sister, my grandmother and me living in that old trailer. My mama painted the baby blue trim and it looked like that till they hauled my grandmother up to Dallas when I was 24. Yesterday Taylor and I drove out to take a look. Last time I went was right before my surgeries at the beginning of ‘19. Our trailer was long gone but there was a white one with red trim in its place. I got spooked and just drove away but i was glad to see it wasn’t replaced with new houses. This time when we drove up there was no trailer there at all and the grass had grown up 5 feet tall. There was a young boy in the front mobile home mowing the grass who told me they’d just pulled the trailer out one day and that was all there was to it. I gave him a copy of my new album and told him I grew up there in the 80s. The first photo here is of the trailer that was directly behind ours. It’s just abandoned now and overgrown. The barn outback is unchanged and just falling apart. There was an old man living in another little trailer that didn’t look to have electricity. In the videos you can see the tall grass where we once lived. I sat under the old mesquite tree where I played as a young boy and tried to write a song but I couldn’t get any words out. I was overwhelmed with a desire to protect that place. I’ve lived everywhere since all those years ago and I’ve had to learn to let go and start over time and time again in my life but in my heart and in my mind I will always be that young man from an isolated part of the rio grande valley. 📷/ 🎥 @featherstoabird https://www.instagram.com/p/CDVT3BnlijM/?igshid=ryfr7duq3any

Forget Luxury Apartments; the Hottest Rentals Are Single-Family Homes

iStock

The hottest rentals around aren’t necessarily those gleaming high-rises with doormen and valets, Olympic-size pools, climbing walls, and happy hour. Instead, single-family homes are seeing the biggest spike in popularity.

The number of house rentals jumped 31% from 2006 to 2017, according to a recent RENTCafé report. Meanwhile, apartment building rentals grew only 14% over the same decade.

The rental listings site analyzed national U.S. Census data to come up with its findings.

“We found it interesting that there was such a huge increase on the single-family rental side, especially given the large number of new apartments completed in the last few years,” says Nadia Balint, a real estate writer for RENTCafé. Many of “these people who are renting single-family homes cannot afford to buy homes.”

There was an influx of single-family homes hitting the rental market after the financial crisis, as these types of houses were scooped up by investors when prices hit rock bottom. The abodes were often fixed up and then rented out to tenants who had lost their own homes to foreclosures or short sales.

Often these ex-homeowners couldn’t afford to buy again, or they didn’t have good enough credit or were just reluctant to make the commitment again.

Even now that the economy has recovered, rising prices and mortgage rates are making it difficult for many renters to make the transition into buying. Rental homes tend to be leased out to younger adults with roommates, families with children, and baby boomers seeking to downsize.

“The availability of starter homes and more affordable homes is pretty low right now,” Balint says. “That’s probably why renters are looking at single-family rentals when they get to a point where they need the extra space.”

But it’s worth pointing out that the apartment rental market is still significantly larger than those seeking to lease out whole houses. There were 26 million apartments for rent, compared with 15 million single-family homes, in 2016. And since the economy has recovered, builders have rushed to put up more luxury apartment towers in recent years.

Some cities have seen much larger rises in the number of house rentals than others. In Phoenix, single-family rentals shot up 77%, from 56,900 in 2007 to 100,800 in 2016, according to the report. (RENTCafé looked at the 30 largest cities by population for the report.) About 44,000 single-family homes were turned into rentals in Phoenix during that decade.

Phoenix was followed by Boston, at 63%; Fort Worth, TX, at 60%; Austin, TX, at 55%; and Charlotte, NC, also at 55%.

However, in addition to Phoenix, the most single-family rentals by sheer numbers were in Los Angeles, at 184,000; Philadelphia, at 111,600; Houston, at 102,100; and New York, at 94,000.

“It’s a great alternative to apartment living and homeownership,” says Mark Wolf, CEO and founder of AHV Communities, which builds communities of detached, single-family homes in the suburbs. “A lot of people want to be mobile. They don’t want to be saddled with mortgage debt, and they want to live maintenance-free.”

His company is currently leasing out 1,500- to 2,000-square-foot homes in three suburban Texas subdivisions. The first is an 82-house development in San Antonio. The other two are in the Austin suburbs: a 92-house development in Georgetown and an 83-house development in Pfluggerville. The communities feature on-site management, pools, fitness centers, clubhouses, and maintenance (e.g., lawn mowing) included in the rent.

The homes range from three to four bedrooms and come with attached garages and full lawns. The rent starts at $1,700 a month.

“They’re truly suburban homes,” Wolf says. They’re geared toward the “many people who don’t want to own and [the] many folks who can’t own.”

Despite the popularity of these rental homes, nationally their rise is beginning to slow from the heyday of 2008 to 2014. House rentals were essentially flat, rising only 0.5% year over year in 2016, according to the most recent data available.

That’s because there aren’t too many companies out there like AHV Communities building these kinds of homes. And investors are more reluctant to purchase rentals now that it’s a seller’s market in most places.

“Now that the prices are going back up, it doesn’t make much sense any more to buy [houses] at a lower price and rent them out,” Balint says.

Shazam! Thundercrack Announced

DC Comics has announced a new comic adaptation of the Shazam! film:

LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 2 2021 – Go! Fight! Win! DC announced today that middle-grade readers can prepare for an all-new graphic novel from DC’s Books for Young Readers line with Shazam! Thundercrack, available on June 7, 2022. From acclaimed writer and illustrator Yehudi Mercado (Chunky, Hero Hotel), this original story is set within the Shazam! movie timeline, featuring Billy Batson as the newest player on the Fawcett Tigers’ football team. Super-heroics are dangerous but joining the football team is an even bigger problem!

Billy Batson has never been a team player and becoming the superhero Shazam didn’t seem to change that much, but his new strength and stamina will make football a breeze. After skipping school one too many times, Billy is offered a choice: football or detention. The Fawcett Tigers need a new champion—their last quarterback ended up in the hospital and the coach is pretty sure rival team the Fishtown Atoms are to blame.

Between football practice and superhero training, Billy’s muscles are getting bigger, but so is his ego. Will foster dad Victor’s wise counsel and memories of his own football triumphs help keep young Shazam grounded? Young readers can follow along on this new journey to find out! Best friend Freddy is also there every step of the way vlogging Billy’s superhero training montages, family pranks, and the new gig he took to monitor Billy’s football practices.

Making his DC debut with Shazam! Thundercrack, Yehudi Mercado is a Mexico City-born writer and artist who grew up in Houston, TX. He began his professional career in the video games industry and eventually became an art director for Disney Interactive, where he co-wrote and art directed the Guardians of the Galaxy mobile game. Mercado’s original graphic novels include Chunky, Hero Hotel, Rocket Salvage, Fun Fun Fun World, and Sci-Fu. He was also the artist on the Epic Original graphic novel Cat Ninja.

Shazam! Thundercrack will be available digitally and at participating bookstores next Summer. A hi-res image of the book’s cover is available here and first-look images from the book’s interior will be available soon.

My team at MVPDev and I specialize in getting minimum viable products into the marketplace very quickly. We’ve worked with dozens of new entrepreneurs to bring their visions to reality.We help those entrepreneurs determine what features are necessary to test the viability of an idea, what those features should look like in an interface, and how we can bring the vision to life as quickly and inexpensively as possible.We often launch our own websites and mobile apps in our spare time, too. The following story is based on one of those in-house mobile apps.A little backgroundOur primary project at the time was Maply — a real-time event map. We were obsessing over maps and local discovery when it came to our own products at the time.Maply was used at SXSW, by many universities, by some festivals. We grew our user base to six-figures, and we were frequently featured in the social networking category of the app store.Mapchatter was inspired by a Waze feature that people seemed to love: the ability to chat with other drivers. In Waze, people used it to learn about road conditions or for entertainment from the passenger seat.We asked ourselves — how can we incorporate map-based messaging to make it easier to figure out what’s happening at a certain location?We began listing use cases/problems this could solve:Find out how crowded a bar/coffee shop isAsk how many seats are left in the libraryMake a new friend in a country you’re visiting next monthFrom this, an idea was formed. At the start, its working title was Marauder’s Map, but we later changed it to Mapchatter because people often mis-heard it as Murderer’s Map. Should have seen that coming!Basics (Name, Logo, Interface)When we first started designing, we wanted to incorporate Marauder’s Map into Maply. It was going to look like this.We quickly decided to spin it off into a separate product. There were two reasons for this — (1) we always wanted to build something with a very straightforward use case (three buttons or less), and (2) we’d rather iterate on a stand-alone product, make it really awesome, and then incorporate it within our main product (Maply).So it was back to square one — which meant we needed a new name, logo and interface.For the logo, we wanted something friendly and simple. We also needed something that was within my limited logo design wheelhouse (hiring an outside designer would have cost time and money).We started with several simple icon concepts consisting of emoji’s with blue backgrounds, but those kind of sucked. What mattered, though, was that they got us talking.We’ve found the fastest way to get creative is to kill your pride and accept that most of your early iterations will be garbage. In quickly making these logos, we created an environment for discussion that was open to any ideas, good or bad.At one point someone asked “if this app was an animal, what would it be?”Birds can fly and get a ‘birds-eye view’ of what’s happening below. That was fitting. Parrots are colorful fun-looking creatures. Cool.I drafted up a few parrot logos (all created entirely with circles — easy). To decide which to pick I created an Instagram poll. The votes were cast and we had a logo.Next came the name. Again, we wanted something friendly. Ideas included Parrot, Mapchat, Chatmap, Chatter, Chattr. We went with Mapchat. A few days after submitting to the App Store we changed the name to Mapchatter because ‘Mapchat’ was very hard to rank for in the App Store.Once we had a name and logo, we bought the cheapest domain name possible (mapchat.cool for $4). This didn’t have to be anything fancy — its main use was to house our Terms of Service and provide the URL that the App Store requires.To design the interface (what the app would look like) we asked ourselves what features absolutely needed to be included.A mapA way to display users on the mapA chat interfaceWe did indulge ourselves on a few unnecessary features. We came up with “the wave” — which sent an anonymous “Someone’s waving at you on Mapchatter!” notification, as well as the ability to change your emoji based on your current mood.DevelopmentWith the design in place, our incredibly talented iOS developer, Dallas, built the app within the week.Keeping the concept and design simple was valuable during development.We shipped, experienced a lengthy review process with Apple, and were eventually approved.Post-launchTwo weeks after we released Mapchatter, on a sunny Austin TX day, I woke up to an excited text message from our iOS developer. He had been watching analytics on Mapchatter that morning and had found something unusual. The app had picked up traction in the Middle East with over a thousand active users and 100,000+ messages sent! I opened the app and panned over to find this.Each face was a complete stranger using something we created to communicate. Pretty neat. But why was this happening?We hired a friend who could speak conversationally in some of the languages used in the most dense areas of adoption. He emailed hundreds of the users we had attracted to learn what they enjoyed about Mapchatter.Turns out, young people in the region were using Mapchatter for romantic purposes. Other popular applications were monitored or otherwise unfit for romantic conversation as a result of the culture in these areas.It’s not exactly what we set out to offer, but users were happy, and came in swarms.In ConclusionWe built Mapchatter in a week by following a few rules.We kept the idea and product simple. Create something that only does one thing. Challenge yourself to build an app with less than three buttons on the home screen.We didn’t waste time on things that can be changed. We picked a name and logo that was relevant and communicated the personality of our product. We didn’t hire a graphic designer (you don’t need to be a professional to create the Facebook logo). We bought the cheapest domain name we could find and put the bare minimum on it.We shipped the app as soon as it covered the basic features, rather than waiting until everything was ‘perfect.’ You learn exponentially as you go.

Sridhar Vembu of Zoho: A Corporate Culture of Humility, Trust, Belief and Insane Ambition Is Key to Our Success

Forty-five million people use at least one of the 45 business apps Zoho offers in the cloud. And the vast majority of those fall under the heading small and midsize business users.  About 1,600 of these folks were in Austin, TX this week for the company’s big user conference Zoholics.

One of the things that stands out about the conference is just how connected and passionate Zoho’s customers are to the company. And they don’t just love the products and the pricing model. They also love the way the company treats them. It’s also obvious that the passion and respect customers feel for Zoho is mutual, as I have yet to meet a Zoho employee who isn’t friendly and always willing to help as much as they can.  And the other obvious thing is that is the culture of the company and it practiced by everyone, especially CEO and co-founder Sridhar Vembu.

A Conversation with Zoho CEO Sridhar Vembu

As busy as he was during the event, Vembu made time for the Small Business Trends community to do an “ask me anything” session with myself and SBT publisher Anita Campbell.  We covered a lot of ground with Sridhar thanks to the great questions sent in from the both the SBT and BizSugar communities, and we included a great deal of the discussion in the extended edited transcript below.  To get the full live streamed event watch the video above or the embedded SoundCloud player below.

Once again a big shout-out to Sridhar for sharing his time and wisdom with our community, and also a shout out to the community for the great questions!

Anita Campbell:  The first question is if you had to do it all over again, would you do it? Would you start Zoho and all the companies?

Sridhar Vembu:  If I had to do all over again, I would do it. But today’s circumstance, I mean the opportunities could be different so I will look for what the opportunity is, but I’d still do it. I’d still build the company similar to it. The focal area might be different area of technology, but I’d still be in technology, I assume.

What Would You Change about the Business If You Could?

Anita Campbell:  And so, what would you change? That’s the follow-up question. What would be different?

Sridhar Vembu:  Well, if I were to do it all over again, I’ll probably go into a vertical like healthcare where there’s lot of inefficiencies. I mean, in general, there’s an entrepreneurial rule, which is, whenever there is an inefficiency, an obvious market inefficiency, there’s an opportunity for someone to come and address that, fix that. So, that’s actually what we are doing with enterprise software, where there’s clearly we see an inefficiency, and we are addressing that. So, I see inefficiency in healthcare, so that’s what I would hope to fix. So …

Brent Leary: I want to ask one quick question before we open it up. You have a quote. Actually, Vijay [Zoho’s Chief Strategy Officer] said it during his session, but he was quoting you. You said that Zoho was good at leaving money on the table.

Sridhar Vembu:  Yes.

Brent Leary: Why is that a good thing?

Sridhar Vembu:  It sounds unusual, right? And I actually learned this lesson early on, that … and other people have said this, that you don’t want to be short-term greedy in this, and that’s what leaving money on the table really means. That if you really take care of the customer and you treat them right, and you leave money on the table, they stay with you long-term. In the end, they end up actually paying you more over the long haul. Particularly in our business, SaaS business, your lifetime value, I mean the length of time, period of time that customer stays with you is extremely critical.

Tell Us Something Personal about your Business

Anita Campbell: Actually, this is my question. I thought everybody would be interested in this. Here at Zoholics, the annual user conference, there was a slide when Sridhar was talking, and it showed some goats. So, tell us all about the goats, we want to hear something personal about you.

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah. Actually, when we bought our home, which is a five acre ranch on the outside of Pleasanton, the goats actually, originally came with that ranch.

Brent Leary: Wait a minute, so the five acres, and they threw in the goats-

Sridhar Vembu:  They threw in the goats.

Brent Leary: … as part of the deal? Okay.

Sridhar Vembu:  As part of the deal. I mean, they were downsizing to a smaller home in retirement and all. They asked, “What do we do with the goats?” I said, “I’ll be happy to keep it.” So, I actually, the first time I owned goats. Even though I grew up in a village in India, I had a lot of background in the village, so I know farm animals. I knew cows and all of that, so I thought it would be fun to have goats around. Actually proved to be a blast. All the kids who visit, loved it. I mean it’s like a little … on a expedition for them. I loved it. I actually spend lots of time with them, when I’m playing with them. Then, it grew on us, and it also … There was a one acre fenced area where they took care of the grass, which, in that part where you ought to keep the grass cut. So, the goats take care of it automatically, so they also served a valuable function.

Brent Leary: Right.

Sridhar Vembu:  And nice thing about goats is they’re actually friendly and low maintenance in a way. Easy to care for.

Brent Leary: Making me want some goats now.

Anita Campbell:  Because they eat anything, right?

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah, they eat anything. Actually, they eat everything.

What about Zoho One?

Anita Campbell:  Everything. Okay. So, Zoho One, we’ve heard a lot about that over the past year, and it’s a great deal. Is the Zoho One model a success yet?

Sridhar Vembu:  Absolutely. In this very event, we have maybe about 30, 40% of the customers are Zoho One customers, and lots of other customers now have expressed interest in moving to Zoho One. In fact, actually, once a customer comes into Zoho, and then they discover Zoho One, they actually fight the fight internally, to move everything to Zoho One. In fact, lots of customers asked us, how do I champion Zoho One in my organization? How do you help me champion this because it’s so good, and I want to spread this.

Brent Leary:  Yeah.

Sridhar Vembu:  And also, Zoho One actually has a growth engine where it has this negative churn. I mean, meaning that normally, churn is, you lose revenue, little bit of revenue. Zoho One has negative churn. It means that, actually, our existing customers keep adding more and more things to it. They see incredible value, so they add more and more divisions, more employees into this all the time. So, we are seeing tremendous growth from Zoho One.

Anita Campbell:  And so, if you would, for those who don’t know what Zoho One really means, describe what that is, and what’s so unique about it.

Sridhar Vembu:  Zoho One is all of our 40 plus, I guess 45 now, suite of applications, all of the mobile apps provided in one bundle, unlicensed, that are very affordable, extremely affordable. $30 per month, per employee model. So, it’s every employee in the business. All applications, they have access, any and all. Employees have access to which apps, but that is their choice. So, this takes out a lot of the pain point of software licensing, all of that. Now, the organization decides who needs which application, and then they can provide them access, and all of them are well-integrated, and at increasing a mode of integration going on all the time.

Are There Opportunities to Partner with Zoho in the Public Sector?

Anita Campbell:  We have a question here from Abraham Jenkins. He is the CEO of Launchpadco.com, and he says, “We are a SaaS company in the public sector, higher ed, and non-profit space with over 75 cities, across 11 states, using our applications.” What is Zoho’s presence in the U.S. public sector, and are there opportunities to partner?

Sridhar Vembu:  We actually have a public sector presence. We have lot of state and city governments using us now, and the federal level, we are actually going into it. Not in a big way yet, but that’s something that is in the works, but all of the city and the state level, we have penetration now. And definitely, this is something that we would like to partner with someone with a much more federal background as well.

Anita Campbell:  Brent, I know you have a question you’re dying to ask because you ask it all the time, about VCs and VC money.

Will Zoho Raise VC Funding or Go Public?

Brent Leary: Well, there’s always the Silicon Valley kind of progression for a tech business in particular; they start … a lot of them raise money, and then at some point in time, they decide they want to go public. That doesn’t seem to be your way of thinking, but do you ever foresee, is there any scenario that you could see either raising money or possibly going public?

Sridhar Vembu:  First of all, I want to make it clear, I’m not actually anti-VC or against VC, or any such thing. But just a preference because if you don’t need money, generally, you shouldn’t take it. That’s advice a lot of people who have taken money will give you. In fact, lot of the entrepreneurs who have raised lot of money, often when I meet them, they say, “Hey, we knew you guys. Actually you didn’t have to take money.” That’s actually a good thing. So, if you don’t need to take money, don’t take it. That’s the advice, and in our case, we don’t need to raise money. We already could go public. We have excellent financials, so which means it pretty much rules out any VC in the future as well.

As to, should you raise a lot, it is actually a very personal question about what your preferences are, what you want to do with the company, all of those. I prefer the freedom that comes with not taking outside money. Then, it allows us to change course, allows us to do unusual things. Lot of things we have done, today, even the Zoho One suite is unusually ambitious. I mean, in terms of the product depth and breadth. I don’t know that we see with a permitted amount of experimentation, the risk taking required for this, but of course, there is a risk bonding here, which is that we have to pay for it ourselves. So, it’s insanely ambitious at one level but another level, the fact that we had to pay for it also kept us grounded in a way. But if somebody gave us billions of dollars, maybe we wouldn’t have had the discipline. So, there is that aspect too.

So, it’s really, ultimately comes down to what are you looking to do with your company, and why are you starting the company in the first place. I valued freedom more than the money. So …

Brent Leary: Man, that says a lot. Matter of fact, in your opening keynote, you used that same term, insanely ambitious.

Sridhar Vembu:  The fact that we have pulled it off, and Zoho One works, and it has now about 20,000 organizations using it already, now, to me, the validation, tremendous validation of that vision, it’s … well, fastest-growing product right now in our portfolio.

What is the Greatest Threat to your Vision?

Anita Campbell:  Well, someone wants to know what would you say is the biggest threat to your vision for Zoho, and the role in helping small businesses?

Sridhar Vembu:  Always, I’d say the biggest threat to any company is ultimately itself.

Anita Campbell:  Okay.

Sridhar Vembu:  A long ago, I actually blogged this thought. I said companies don’t get killed by competition, they commit suicide. And it’s …

Brent Leary: That’s a good one.

Sridhar Vembu:  It’s true for every company, and that’s so I remind myself of that too. So, the biggest risk is that we lose our culture, we lose our values, we forget our customers. Those … biggest risks, and that’s true for any company. So …

What Do You Do When You’re Faced with a Difficult Problem?

Anita Campbell:  Question from…don’t know if I’m pronouncing this person’s name correctly … if I garble your name, Bernard Gerard. What do you do when you are faced with a difficult problem to solve?

Sridhar Vembu:  The most difficult problems that I have found involve interpersonal conflicts of one kind or the other, and it could be internally. I mean, obviously, we’re a large company, we have differing opinions. Often, those could become conflicts. And ultimately, those are the most difficult ones, and I first acknowledge that there’s no magic wand. I don’t have any special powers to solve these problems, and I don’t believe anybody does. So, I tell the parties often involved that, “Look, I don’t have any magic wand I can wave to make work together or make you resolve this conflict, but all I can say is that keep in mind the bigger purpose. Why are we here? And if you keep reminding yourself that, maybe you will find a way to resolve this.”

Often, that works out. Or sometimes people think I’ve just … it’s a carport on my part, not resolve a problem. But I have found that there’s no easy way to solve a lot of these issues. So, those are the hardest ones.

Anita Campbell:  All right. Well, Bernard, we’re going to give you twofer. You have the follow-up question. Okay, so, all right. What are the emotional reasons a person would want to use Zoho?

Brent Leary: That’s a really fascinating question.

Sridhar Vembu:  That question, yeah. Actually, it’s an interesting question. Yes, and that in fact, it addresses a particular thing I often talk about. We provide software. I mean, ultimately, it’s a piece of technology, it’s a tool, right? But we also describe it as our life’s work.

Brent Leary: Okay.

Sridhar Vembu:  So, that’s not a technology statement but life’s work that has a different meaning. It’s not just, you know … And I actually believe that all of us, we should think of our work. There has to be a purpose to it, and therefore there is a life’s work aspect to it. And if you think of that way, then you, as a customer of us, we want empower you to do your life’s work using our life’s work.

Brent Leary: Right.

Sridhar Vembu:  So, that is the emotion that I want to bring to this. And there is an emotion, and it goes beyond, I mean, just merely the material realm. It goes into the inner psychic reason that we use this thing. We have to have that connection.

Anita Campbell:  Yeah. Use our life’s work to do your life’s work.

Sridhar Vembu:  Life’s work. Yeah.

Does Zoho Avoid Hiring People with Degrees?

Anita Campbell:  I love that.  All right. Well, we were smiling earlier, Brent and I, because there was a question, and I know you’re going to have some fun with this, Sridhar. And the question is, which I don’t know if it’s true, I don’t think it is true but we’ll have you to answer it. Is it true that Zoho does not like to hire people with college degrees? Is that true?

Sridhar Vembu:  Well, I have a PhD. I should fire myself, if that’s true. For the record, about 80% of our employees do have college degree. I mean, 85, I think. But 15% of our employees don’t, and we’re proud of them. So, I’m not against people with a college degree. I’m against credentialism. There’s a difference here.

Most jobs, certainly every job in our company, almost every job does not require a formal credential, a formal degree or a certificate from some external authority. It’s essentially that we create, we can create the talent, and this is true for most employers, most jobs. There may be, if you are going to be a surgeon, yes, there is a credentialing, all that requirement. But most jobs are not that. I mean, software jobs are not that. A CEO job is not that. I mean, there’s so many famous CEOs who never had a degree. So, which means that, then why do we require these credentials? Why do we essentially, force then, people? I mean, force is the word I use, to go to college, take on debt, to earn the credential, when employers, in most cases, do not need the credential? So, that is my argument.

This doesn’t mean that we want to discriminate against people who have gone to college, and got the degree. I mean, still, majority of hiring is people with a college degree because that’s available in the market. But we want to make a difference to those people who either don’t want to go to college, or may not be able to afford to go to college, or don’t want to take on the debt. We want to create that alternative, so that is our Zoho University program, and that’s what we stress. So …

Brent Leary: And you’re bringing that to Austin too.

Sridhar Vembu:  We are bringing that to Austin now. That is now about 600 or 700 of our employees, about 15% almost now, of our engineering staff, they don’t have a college degree. And we are bringing that to Austin, and we are expanding the mission. Now, from marketing to sales, to support, a lot of jobs, we are going to create the cult by internally trading, and we are going to invest in that. That means that we, when we do this, we actually provide a stipend. It’s not just that the come and learn, we also pay them to learn because that … Actually, there is an accountability in the learner when you do that.

Brent Leary: All right.

Sridhar Vembu:  So, we passionately believe in this model. We believe every employer should do this. Then, this whole college debt crisis, a lot of this automatically get solved.

What is Zoho University?

Anita Campbell:  Zoho University. You mentioned that just a few minutes ago, and some people may not know exactly what that is, and it’s a pretty amazing program.  So, really, you are committed to people having knowledge and the right skills to work in the company, so much so that you actually created this whole …

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah.

Anita Campbell:  It’s a formal program, isn’t it?

Sridhar Vembu:   Yes, yeah. Let’s step back a little bit, right? See, the fundamental challenge of any company, really, today, particularly today’s world, how do you create a talent, how do you understand that talent, how do you keep the talent, how do you empower the talent? These are the fundamental issues facing any company.

Brent Leary: All right.

Sridhar Vembu:  Because the particular business ultimately depends on the human, the talent pool that you have. I mean, that’s all there is to it.

Brent Leary: Right.

Sridhar Vembu:  The physical capital, the buildings, the computers, all that actually don’t matter. The human beings are far more valuable to any organization than any of those physical assets. So, that really means that companies, organizations have to find ways to create talent. That’s my belief, and Zoho University is a talent creation program, not just talent finding program. Which means that we take in these high school graduates, all the [inaudible 00:20:35] of the community college graduates, and then put them through our own rigorous, hands-on training, and critically, this thing runs within our own office premises so that they are surrounded by other employees who are doing their regular day-to-day jobs. That means that these students who are in training also get to see the context of a company around, and how people make a living. By itself, there is osmosis process, there is an education going on, there’s something being formerly taught in a classroom setting, in the lab setting. And then, there is all this osmosis going on across in a sort … over the air, so to speak, and the transmission.

In the end, about one to one and a half years, they become ready. And then, we induct them as apprentice employees, and then, within about six months to one year, depending on the particular discipline, all of that particular team, they become regular employees. So, somebody with a high school diploma, within about two years, maybe two and a half, could become a regular employee. During that time, they would have gotten paid a stipend, which also goes up when they become apprentice, and when they become regular employees, they get a regular paycheck. So, that’s the thing, and so they are wide deck entirely, the whole education is on us, and then there is a job. Of course, they have to complete it, they have to go through the whole rigorous program. Most of them do, our attrition rate is maybe about 5%. But actually, this year, we are taking about 150 students like that, from high schools, and the community college. And then, they go through this.

When will the First Class of Zoho University be Open?

Anita Campbell:  And when will the first class of Zoho University be open in Austin, Texas?

Sridhar Vembu:  Real soon, I hope, because we just actually took a larger space. We hope to dedicate some space. We’ll probably start small with maybe five to 10 students, and then expand as we go. Our goal is, a lot of our requirements should be coming from Zoho University. That is our goal long-term.

Anita Campbell:  And one other question, how do people apply for Zoho University? Do they have to know someone or is there a place online they apply? How does it work?

Sridhar Vembu:  Typically, we go to ��� In Austin, we’ll go to the nearby schools and community colleges, and the like. That’s maybe your first line of attack there. And then, we also go and put up webpages, we actually have a Zoho University webpage where you can actually apply online. But a lot of it is coming from the nearby … wherever we are, because we want it to be, even for the student, an easy adjustment process. Over time, we’ll expand this, as we grow. So …

Who Can Attend?

Brent Leary: Are there any age limits? Because maybe somebody a little older than a high school might be interested in this. Somebody like me. I’m glad to get paid to go to school. Learn to trade, yeah that’s great.

Sridhar Vembu:  Actually, it’s something that we are debating that because it’s going to be a mixed class, right? A lot of the high school grads will be there.

Brent Leary: Yeah.

Sridhar Vembu:  Then someone older. We have to think through this but yes, in principle, that should be possible because we also see … Actually, there’s another thing that I’m passionate about. It’s a topic that I actually haven’t talked about much. We actually see a world coming where a lot of older workers, even post, maybe they’re kind of retirement, but they’re still active, they’re physically active, they can do, still, work. We actually want to tap those skills now because the reason is, we have a major demographic burst coming worldwide. I mean, Japan is already there. The burst is already there. Every year, the population’s declining now, half a million or so, and it’s coming everywhere. It’s the birth rates dictated, this is like baking a cake right now. Which means that businesses have to scramble to find talent, and there are people … My dad is 76 and he’s still active, and he still does part-time work. So, I think that lot of people, even the 60s, maybe even 70s could do work, maybe part-time, and companies have to be open to that type of talent.

So, that’s something that I’m actually thinking about also instituting, because we have to do these things in order to first, A, keep them busy and active, B, tap their talent and wisdom.

Brent Leary: Right.

Sridhar Vembu:  So, these are some of the things I’m thinking about.

Brent Leary: That’s great to hear, actually.  I want to lob one in, if you don’t mind.

Anita Campbell: Yeah, that’s cool.

What Do You Wish You had Done Differently?

Brent Leary: Most people may not know that you guys have been around for 23 years. You started under a different name but you’ve been around for 23 year. You do a lot of stuff. What one thing do you wish you may have done differently over those years? Because you’ve done a lot of good things, a lot of things that have worked, but what one thing would you have like to have a do-over?

Sridhar Vembu:  If we probably would have gotten to the cloud sooner, if anything. I mean, we launched our first products in 2005, four, five, in the cloud, and until then, we were doing on premise products.

Brent Leary: Yeah.

Sridhar Vembu: Those things still sell well actually, for us. Those still are making money, and they’re doing very well. Our ManageEngine division. But I would have gotten to the cloud sooner, so that’s probably one thing if I do over. And actually, we were tying around with these ideas as early as ’99, 2000.

Brent Leary: Wow.

Sridhar Vembu:  Really. But then, this whole burst intervened, and it threw us off course. It threw a lot of companies off course.

Brent Leary: I remember. Yeah.

Sridhar Vembu:  You remember that, ’99, 2000. But we survived it, but the casualty, one of the price we paid was our cloud initiatives got derailed a lit bit. So …

How Does Zoho Empower eCommerce?

Anita Campbell:  Someone wants to know could you talk a bit about how Zoho empowers eCommerce entrepreneurs? So, what are you doing for eCommerce entrepreneurs?

Sridhar Vembu:  We just launched a whole commerce suite yesterday, Commerce Plus, that is a full suite of eCommerce along with the inventory, along with the accounting, integrating with CRM, integrating with the marketing tools, all of it. It’s the integrations, the whole suite is like never before, so that’s something that we just launched yesterday. Please take a look on our website, Zoho Commerce Plus.

Anita Campbell:  That’s actually ambitious vision.

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah, it is.

Anita Campbell:  And I think it’ll be welcomed by those who want to sell, and maybe they’re already using Zoho products now. You’ve really got a solution for them.

Sridhar Vembu:  Yes. Yeah, we really believe so.

What Advice Do You Have for Growing a Business?

Anita Campbell:  Someone wants to know as a startup or company starts growing, lots of opportunities and projects come in. What advice can you give to those that will really make you grow?

Sridhar Vembu:  You won’t always stretch yourself a little bit, in terms of … So, every project you evaluate in terms, first, of course, when you are a small business, you need cash. That’s a fundamental requirement. You got to stay in business, keep the lights on, put food on the table. So, that’s your first requirement, does it pay? Because if somebody cannot pay you, well, maybe as a small business, you cannot actually sell them, right? Unless you are independently wealthy, which I assume most are not. Most small businesses are not. And then, once you satisfied that fundamental requirement that you’ll get paid, the second one will be, does it stretch you a little bit outside of your current comfort zone?

It cannot stretch you too much because then you might break, or your organization might break, and may not deliver, but you always want to stretch yourself a little bit. And every project you take, if it stretches your capabilities, then the next project, it can stretch a little more. That is how we grow, and that’s what I hope you know you can do with this.

Anita Campbell:  Stretch.

Sridhar Vembu:  Stretch, stretch.

Anita Campbell:  And stretch some more. Yes.

Sridhar Vembu:  More, yeah. A little more, little more. Like yoga.

What Are Your Plans for Succession?

Anita Campbell:  Now, this person wishes to remain anonymous. I don’t know, this might be an employee of Zoho asking this [laughter] but they want to know what is your succession plan? Is there some news you … or are you planning to retire any time soon?

Sridhar Vembu:  No. I don’t know, maybe I look so old now. I’m not that old. But yeah, actually, I get asked inside [the company] this question. Our employees do ask, and truth is our employees are not afraid to ask the question

Brent Leary: That’s says something about your culture, that they’re able to ask that kind of question.

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah, yeah. Because actually, look, I remind people all the time that everything … See, there’s a Buddhist philosophy, right? Everything is transient. I mean, astrophysics tells us this whole universe is transient. This earth is going to be consumed by the sun one day. That’s what the astrophysics tells us. So, everything is transient. We’re all going to die one day, as they say. But that means you are actually liberated in a way. You ought to feel that. Why do we stress about it so much? Enjoy it, enjoy the flow.

So, there is a very, really strong management group in Zoho. There is a lot of middle managers, very strong. In fact, this level of products cannot be built by one person running everything.

Brent Leary: Right.

Sridhar Vembu:  And I’m not that person, and it doesn’t happen that way. There is extremely capable people running various aspects of Zoho, and I’ve already designated successor in case something might happen to me, so that’s in place. Also long-term, meaning, I hope to be alive long-term. So, everybody is going to die but I don’t want to die soon. So, I definitely want to create a talent pool that is ready to take over and run the company, because I do want the company to outlive me, which like all of us, we want our children to outlive us, right? In the same way. So, that’s the idea.

Brent Leary: Great.

Talk About Your Services for Enterprises

Anita Campbell:  All right. So, you’ve talked about going to more serving enterprises, and in fact, you’ve had this division for a long time, that basically serves the Fortune 5000, I know.

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah.

Anita Campbell:  But someone wants to know what is the impact on small businesses as you get these bigger customers? Are you going to leave small businesses behind?

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah. That’s a very legitimate, very good question. Lot of companies have done that. My personal guarantee is that’s not going to happen. You look at our product and our pricing, how we are expanding the Zone One suite. In fact, yesterday we added two new products into Zoho One. So, the very smallest business inherits all of these powerful technologies at that same price, the $30 per employee, per month. So, it’s an incredible offer there, so we will continue this. That itself is our commitment, so we … See, we remember our roots, and we remember where we came from. We don’t forget that. That rootedness is part of our culture, very much of our company culture, so we definitely will continue to serve this, even as we serve larger customers. Because they also come, they also see the value and so on.

Anita Campbell:  And just to add a little editorial comment there. From the small business perspective, that’s so important to hear.

Sridhar Vembu:  Yes.

Anita Campbell:  Because there have been many instances where small businesses have started with a product, and then you just get left behind. I mean-

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah.

Anita Campbell:  The product-

Sridhar Vembu:  One-

Anita Campbell:  … gets increasingly more expensive and …

Sridhar Vembu:  That’s a key one, actually, watch whether we are raising the prices on the lowest tiers, all of that. We actually have learned on that. In fact, we’re lowering prices often. So …

What is the Biggest Challenge Coming for Small Business?

Anita Campbell:  All right. So, someone wants to know … Actually, this is Bernard wants to know in five year’s time, what do you think will be the biggest business challenged, and what is Zoho building now that’s going to be able to respond?

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah. In technology industry, one interesting trend is now vertical integration; the best way to describe is the Apple model. How Apple goes from semi-conductor, to software, to the iCloud. That model. And increasingly, tech companies are becoming vertically integrated. In fact, this is also a challenge to a lot of cloud software application vendors because they tend to be shallow where they depend on somebody else’s layers and layers and layers below it, which I believe is going to pose challenges long-term.

Brent Leary: Yeah. I want to ask one quick question.

Sridhar Vembu:  Yeah.

Brent Leary: You hear all the things that Amazon has done, and you have AWS, and a lot of small businesses have built their business on top of that. Zoho has a lot of business applications, you guys have a huge amount of technology, technical power. Have you ever thought of ZWS?

Sridhar Vembu:  Actually, we launched something called Zoho Catalyst in this event, that’s like the beginnings of this. We have a fairly sizable infrastructure now, eight data centers around the world, all of that. We are starting to expose all of these through our own equivalent of those cloud services, and we also do deep R & D stack. We have the full stack that I was talking about, which I believe is going to be very critical. This is the challenge that every cloud company faces, this whole vertical integration and that, the need to invest in all of the R & D to keep up, and we are going to expose all of this to customers. Zoho Catalyst is the beginning of it, but we are working on more projects on that front.

Brent Leary: Awesome. Did you have one last question from the audience or …?

Anita Campbell:  Okay, one last question then, real quick. What’s the one thing Zoho customers do not know or may not know, but should, about the company?

Sridhar Vembu:  That’s a tough one. That’s a tough one, actually. What’s the one thing that …

If you go to zohocorp.com, you’ll see three divisions there. Zoho.com is one of our divisions. There’s ManageEngine and there’s Web NMS, and these two divisions, ManageEngine sells IT management software to enterprises. So, we actually have very large enterprises as customers there, in that division, and then we have Web NMS, which actually is IoT, the Internet of Things, and telecom software, the telecom players. These are things that are not well-known about us, most people don’t know. Most Zoho customers have never seen those but I would invite you to go take a look at zohocorp.com, and they’ll see these three things, and they can look up. This is all the same company, but the same offices, same everything. But it’s just that people don’t know that we have these three divisions.

The Most Popular Magazines For Seniors

Magazines are far from being dead. The shift from print to digital only made them more flexible and besides, there are many people who still like to read them. Seniors today represent a generation that grew up with books and serials, so there is no wonder that many of them still enjoy their favorite magazines and they get regular subscriptions, on printing and on their mobile device, since most subscriptions now include these parallel versions.

Magazines are the best accompaniment for a cup of coffee or tea and they keep people on top of news and also cater to their interests.

Older adults like to read about lifestyle topics related to their age, including all kind of information about retirement and post-retirement, vacations, health and wellness and, of course, entertainment. Besides these general information that can be found in popular magazines like Reader`s Digest, seniors also enjoy magazines for every hobby. Many like reading and finding out more about relaxing retirement activities, such as gardening of crafts.

Magazines like Cook`s Illustrated are also popular, because they offer great cooking recipes and inspiration for organizing the holiday meals with the family.

Not least, there are also magazines that target senior readers with content that refers to bygone eras, also providing the opportunity to share memories with younger members of the family who do not know much about those times, especially when seniors are at the stage of nursing homes in Odessa TX.

10 Best Cities in the United States for Startups and Entrepreneurs (2018)

Silicon Valley has dominated the U.S. startup ecosystem for many decades.

Despite repeated efforts, only a few cities outside the Valley (New York and Boston) have historically had the critical mix of VC funding, network, and talent to fuel vibrant startup centers. Best startup city rankings have reflected this truth for a long time.

But this is becoming less true today, as more and more entrepreneurs find their way across the U.S.

There are now many metro areas with growing infrastructure and increasingly skilled workforces that can support tech startups. 

Increasingly, these metro areas are regularly appearing in rankings of the best cities in the United States for startups and entrepreneurs.

The good news is that these new metro centers are significantly less expensive than Silicon Valley or the East Coast. 

Let’s take a look at some of the best U.S. cities (outside of Silicon Valley and the East Coast), to build your startup.

  Austin, TX

The Texas capital recently was named the #1 place in America to start a business by CNBC.

According to the 2016 Kauffman Growth Entrepreneurship Index, Austin grew its startups faster than every city except Washington, D.C., with their startups growing by 81.2 percent. That’s exceptional startup growth that other cities will find tough to match.

In large part due to the University of Texas at Austin and other universities’ influence, Austin is known for having an educated workforce.

Austin has become quite a hotspot. Employers and people interested in growth industries are drawn to the youthful, smart energy that flourishes there.

William Hurley, the co-founder of Honest Dollar, an Austin-based provider of retirement plans to small businesses, says creative talent is abundant:

It’s got the music, the university scene, the hippies and the rule-breakers…. It’s very easy to hire people who want to push the limits. It’s an incredibly innovative city.

Austin also stands out for its affordability. Many small-business owners, who often pay taxes at the individual level, appreciate the fact the state has no personal income tax. The state also has a corporate tax rate of zero. Combined, these factors point to available money for business owners to invest in their ventures.

The overall culture in Austin is renowned for its supportiveness of the small business community. The celebration for its unique culture and flourishing business community is very appealing, and many new startups are flocking to the city to embrace it as their own.

Boulder, CO

Boulder may be known for its eccentric, diverse population, but that reputation belies its true nature as an entrepreneurial powerhouse.

In 2015 Nerdwallet.com chose it as one of the best places to start a business, as well as the #1 city for female entrepreneurs, and for good reason: It’s an affluent urban center and was ranked as one of the top 20 most productive metro areas in terms of GDP. It’s no wonder so many entrepreneurs launch their startup in Boulder.

A number of high profile companies call Boulder home, including herbal tea leader Celestial Seasoning, Ball Aerospace, and respected startup accelerator TechStars.

Boulder’s entrepreneurial system is bolstered by a number of local venture capital firms, including Foundry Group.

With its concentrated mix of start-ups, established businesses, and venture capital, Boulder has all of the elements to fuel sustainable economic growth. Foundry Group’s founder Brad Feld noted:

Entrepreneurs here use a ‘give before you get’ mentality. We are willing to help anyone without an expectation of what we are going to get back in the short term. This creates a powerful long-term dynamic.

Boulder is an entrepreneurial force of nature. In 2010, the city had six times more high-tech startups per capita than the nation’s average. Its dynamic culture encourages Boulder’s prosperous economy, draws people in (especially millennials), and provides them with excellent motivation to stay.

Miami, FL

Don’t let the sand, sun, and tourism of the South Beach distract you from Miami’s reputation as a great place for new businesses. The Kauffman Index recently named Miami the second most entrepreneurial city in the U.S., with the country’s highest startup density, 247.6 startups per 100,000 people.

The city isn’t just the home of new businesses. Large companies like Google, Twitter, Facebook, and Apple have offices there, as well as 139 companies on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies.

Miami’s close ties with Latin America has bolstered its appeal. Laura Gonz��lez-Estéfani, Director of Partnerships & Mobile LatAm for Facebook, says:

There is talent, there is support from the institutions and private initiatives that are focused on boosting innovation, and there is an incremental interest from VCs and business angels for innovative projects.

Brian Brackeen, CEO of Miami-based Kairos also found Miami hard to resist:

We were searching things like AngelList, GitHub, different state web sites, then we took all that data and Miami was at the very top of the list in every important category…Cheapest for our employees, and the best tax situation for the company and our workers.

A diverse, skilled population, robust entrepreneurial environment, and an invaluable bridge to Latin America: The “Magic City” may be just that for entrepreneurs seeking a thriving, business-friendly place to set up shop.

Los Angeles, CA

Los Angeles is known for sun, stars, and surf, and now you can add startups to the list.

The city is renowned as a center for tech entrepreneurship. In addition to being the third largest startup hub in the U.S. (behind Silicon Valley and New York), the city of flowers and sunshine boasts one of the largest concentrations of engineering graduates in the country.

LA has also increasingly attracted more and more venture capital investment and investors.

All of these things aside, one of its biggest attractions may be what is not: Silicon Valley.

This was one of the reasons entrepreneur Justin Yoshimura (founder of the start-up 500friends) found his way there:

Compared to San Francisco in particular, it’s very cheap. Santa Monica is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in L.A. and I have a yard with a pool and a beautiful home for less than what I would pay for an equivalent-sized condo in San Francisco.

The city isn’t lacking for high-profile companies, either, with Snapchat, SpaceX, VR trailblazer Oculus, and League of Legends creator Riot Games calling Los Angeles home. Whether they’re here because of the diversity, the mild weather, and the relaxed atmosphere, the city’s energy fuels and sustains a community of entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneur Adam Pokornicky found the city’s community inspiring:

I’m seeing a consistent pattern of optimism, curiosity, and community, That kind of energy and like-mindedness is a breath of fresh air and super motivating.

Psyop founder Todd Mueller agreed, drawing attention to the city’s mix and diversity of talent:

Venice itself represents this sort of oddball collection of people representing different backgrounds and worldviews, but they share an openness and a curiosity that, when you harness it for a common cause like building a startup, is very powerful.

San Francisco, CA

The days of San Francisco being famous for trolley cars, Rice-A-Roni, and serving as a refuge for artists and bohemians are long over.

For better or worse, the city and the Bay Area are now synonymous with entrepreneurship and innovative high-tech thought leadership.

The concentration of startups, especially tech startups in the city by the bay is dizzying. You can find Twitter next to Square and Uber, and Dropbox, Pinterest, and Zynga within blocks of each other.

The whole city feels like a self-perpetuating machine, where venture capital draws in startups, which pulls in more venture capital, and so on. If the tourist tours of start-ups are any indication, the area’s nickname as the “Hollywood of Technology” is wholly appropriate.

It makes a lot of sense for companies and entrepreneurs to want to be here. In addition to the availability of funding and startup resources, the huge numbers of skilled workers and prestigious schools that help to educate them are unparalleled.

Musician Paul Kantner once said that San Francisco was “49 square miles surrounded by reality.” That may be true when it comes to the opportunities for startups and entrepreneurs, but the reality of big money and big business’ strain on the city itself is everywhere. Housing and rent prices are at unbelievable levels, and the difficulties of such a high cost of living are real and growing, issues.

All of these things said, the benefits to entrepreneurs found in the city and Silicon Valley are many, and for some, the intensity of energy and innovation found here may be irresistible.

Provo, UT

Utah’s entrepreneur-friendly culture is well known, but even with that considered there is still something noteworthy going on in the Beehive State, especially in Provo. The amount raised in 2014 by companies based out of the Provo-Orem metropolitan area was staggering: around an average of 51.3 million dollars.

This, along with over 800 million dollars raised by Utah-based companies that year ranked Utah as the seventh highest in the country, an impressive achievement for a state with just three million people.

There are a lot of big companies based in Provo, too, which helps attract and retain people with desirable skills and experience. Novell has its corporate headquarters in the city, as do Qualtrics, BlueHost, and Jive Communications. Brigham Young University has renowned entrepreneurship programs and produces many graduates who start businesses of their own.

Provo also stands out as a great city for entrepreneurs and startups because it’s affordable. The cost of living in the city is a big attraction, with the median price of homes hovering around $220,000. Compared to the median price of homes in San Francisco (which as of June 2017 was over 1.5 million), the cost of living combined with the access to venture capital, and a skilled, motivated workforce makes Provo a compelling option.

Las Vegas, NV

Startup activity in Las Vegas is booming.

A recent study by the Kauffman Foundation found Las Vegas bounding onto the startup scene, countering the public perception that Vegas is entirely centered around gambling and resorts.

After the economy crashed in 2008, Las Vegas was pushed to reinvent itself in order to survive. With businesses clearing out of California because of its oppressive taxation, Las Vegas welcomed many of those entrepreneurs with open arms and appealing tax relief.

The city is now the host to many of the largest industry trade shows for tech and other industries. It also boasts plenty of investors with co-working spaces, as well as funding and mentoring programs to stimulate a business environment.

Tony Hsieh of Zappos appreciates the “endless possibilities” he has discovered in Nevada. Hsieh put $350 million into revitalizing Las Vegas to contribute toward it becoming “the co-learning and co-working capital of the world.” He began a venture fund in 2012, VTF Capital, which invests in other businesses interested in joining the Nevada scene.

Living in Nevada is significantly more cost-effective than most other places in the country. Las Vegas sets itself apart from startup cities like Boston and San Francisco by offering a much lower cost of living in a major city. This is extremely attractive for younger professionals interested in city living – and lets them afford to experience more than a closet-sized apartment filled with Cup-O-Noodles.

Denver, CO

Maybe there’s something about the majestic mountains in Denver, a symbolic challenge perpetually imagined in its rising peaks. According to the Kauffman report on entrepreneurship, Denver is ranked fifth for a US city with the most start-up activity.

As Denver continues to explode with startups and small business ventures, an increasing number of millennials are heading to the beautiful city.  Denver is also one of the most educated cities in the US. 53 percent of the population holds a bachelor’s degree, and Colorado is ranked first as a relocation city for skilled workers ages 25 to 44.

Investment in transportation is another major player in Denver’s appeal. It has a new, multi-billion dollar rail system called FastTracks, which is continuing to expand. There is of course also the Denver International Airport, which is now the largest American airport by landmass – and it’s only half completed.

Gusto, the San Francisco based payroll startup, just opened its second office in Denver this month. Rachel Kim, a communications employee with the company, cites Denver’s close proximity and easy transport to the Bay Area as major reasons for Gusto branching out there. She also cites the spirited small business community is being a significant part of the city’s appeal.

Eric Remer, the founder of Denver-based startup PaySimple, said:

We have a really supportive startup environment, partially because we’re a relatively smaller community. The companies out here, they’re rooting for each other.

Between the striking beauty of the landscape, the easy access to major transportation, and the vibrant and educated community, Denver would make a great choice for anyone ready to set out on their startup journey.

Seattle, WA

Seattle is home to Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, and other well-known companies, but it has recently grown into a welcoming place for startups, entrepreneurs, and small business owners, too.

Seattle has been among the fastest-growing cities in the United States since 2010, and its population is expected to increase by an additional 200,000 over the next 20 years. A young, vibrant population, a booming tech industry and a run of interesting restaurants, unique shops and coffeehouses are among the reasons for the increase in start-up traffic in Seattle.

“Seattle historically is a place that attracts pioneers to come and do their own thing,” says Maud Daudon, CEO of the Seattle Metro Chamber of Commerce. Those pioneers are attracted to the eclectic, entrepreneurial spirit that the city breathes.

Seattle doesn’t offer major tax incentives for entrepreneurs, but it does have plenty of venture capital firms and economic development ventures to help foster the development of small businesses and start-up companies. Just as enticing as these are the incubators and business programs at the University of Washington and community colleges, where aspiring entrepreneurs can get their start.

Chicago, IL

As always, we’re excited about listing Chicago on our list of top cities for startups and entrepreneurs. And this status is well deserved. Chicago stands alone, not just in the Midwest but in the United States, among the “biggest and baddest of startup cities” when it comes to profitability, according to PitchBook. That’s only one reason venture capitalists love Chicago.

Chicago’s tech proficiency is becoming increasingly more recognized in the start-up scene. KPMG’s survey of more than 800 tech leaders found Chicago in the top 10 of tech innovation hubs worldwide. KPMG Chicago’s Mike Gervasio further cited the capital market and “an innovative culture” as partially responsible in Chicago’s impressive climb up the global ladder. That culture helped garner upwards of $1.7 billion in funding last year, and Chicago is host to a multitude of promising start-ups.

Startups in Chicago make good bets for those who invest in them. In Chicago, 45 percent of investments produced 10 times a return on investment. Chicago’s numbers are routinely superior, with 81 percent of its startups producing between three and 10 percent a yield on an initial investment. Now wonder VC’s love Chicago.

And as we have previously noted:

While startup resources in Chicago were scarce a decade ago, things have changed quite a bit. Chicago’s 1871, created in 2012 to support Chicago’s startup community, ranks 1st in the U.S. among North American Business Incubators and 4th in the world. 1871 is home to hundreds of early stage, high growth digital startups and offers tremendous resources and programming to entrepreneurs at all stages of their startup journey.

Sound good? We think so. Crowdspring couldn’t imagine home being anywhere else.

Here are some additional U.S. cities that you should keep in mind as some of the best cities for startups and entrepreneurs:

St. Louis, MO

Minneapolis, MN

San Jose, CA

San Diego, CA

Columbus, OH

Nashville, TN

Portland, OR

Pittsburgh, PA

Atlanta, GA

Indianapolis, IN

These 14 startups endorsed by the seed-stage investment firm Pear just hit the fundraising trail

Earlier this week, in a beautiful garden in Woodside, Ca., the team at the five-year-old, seed-stage venture firm Pear hosted it fifth annual demo day. It’s an event that’s limited to roughly 100 VCs who year after year happily fill the space to see what Pear — which has written early checks to the “unicorn” delivery service DoorDash and newly public Guardant Health, among others — has up its sleeve.

As with last year, what those investors wound up seeing on Tuesday was 15 teams, most of them six months old or younger and led by current students or recent graduates who’d been invited by Pear to build companies over ten weeks in its Palo Alto offices. These ranged from a startup with ambitious plans to build a new commercial space station, to a machine learning-powered cloud video platform that makes it far easier to edit video clips, to a startup that uses AI to negotiate salary discussions on behalf of its clients.

But in a bit of a twist, this time around, Pear also featured a sprinkling of young companies that are now ready for Series A funding, including a solar design and sales platform for residential and commercial photovoltaic systems, and a company that thinks its check-out free shopping technology could help all kinds of Amazon rivals compete with the giant’s growing number of surveillance-powered, no-checkout convenience stores.

In case you’re an investor or just someone interested in keeping your thumb on the pulse of what’s happening in emerging tech, herewith is a quick snapshot of each of the companies that were featured as part of the program. (Well, all but one that expressly asked us not to write about what it’s working on. We’ll just tell you that it’s a kind of social network and, remarkably, it feels fresh.)
