DealMaker Strategy Series – Founder Wisdom: I wish someone had told me that!
We’ve all heard the phrase, "You learn from your mistakes," but wouldn’t it be nice to fast track beyond a few knee scrapes with the guidance of those who have gone before? Dealmaker Media’s recent Strategy Series at Mannatt, Phelps & Phillips made it possible with a roundtable featuring four entrepreneurs who candidly shared anecdotes from their successes and failures. Here are just a few noteworthy soundbites. Check out our video for full coverage. Part 1
“Hire young people that have the ability to be great.” ~ Michael Jones, CEO of Userplane and Senior Vice President at AOL “Listen to your advisors, but don’t always agree with them. They are one data point. Go with your gut.” ~ Frank Addante, CEO of The Rubicon Project “If you don’t dust yourself off after getting knocked down, you’re not going to be lucky. Stand up and say, ‘One more, please!’” ~ Kamran Pourzanjani, Former CEO & Founder of PriceGrabber “Understand everyone’s currency. It’s what motivates them.” ~ Dana Settle, Greycroft Partners

Frank Addante: Force of Nature
A venture capitalist recently asked me to help him find another Frank Addante, founder of The Rubicon Project. VCs love Frank because he's bankable. He has a history of launching big Web successes, including L90, which went public and then was bought by DoubleClick in 2001. Plus he's "a force of nature", as Sumant Mandal of Clearstone described him to me. Most entrepreneurs seem to lose their edge after their first big success, but Frank's always at his desk, out with clients or meeting new people.
I can't help VCs find another Frank, but I recently had a chance to sit down with him to learn how he got where he is. In this interview, Frank and I talked about his past 5 businesses and what he's doing to make this one his biggest success yet.
