The key word here is specific; you will get very concrete advice on whatever entrepreneurial area you have questions about.
Your questions may be in the area of
1)
Marketing – How to position your startup’s product/services in the marketplace. This can include advice on SEO (search engine optimization), SEM (Search Engine Marketing), advertising options (especially google adwords), and “real world” marketing techniques to drive traffic to your site.
2)
Web interface advice. Is your startup website really user friendly? Usually, you have looked at it too many times and are too close to it to see how a visitor would interpret it. But intuitive website design is critical to getting people to use your site. We’ll provide invaluable tips.
3)
Networking advice. Where do you go to meet other entrepreneurs and potential employees in Silicon Valley? We’ll tell you where and how to approach them.
4)

5)
Business plan advice. We’ll tell you how to put together a professional looking business plan that addresses key points about your internet startup—most notably profitability—before you start your business.
6)
Defining goals and working efficiently – Many entrepreneurs have general goals but don’t know how to get there. The key is in more specifically defining goals and defining steps leading to them. We’ll tell you how.
7)
