June 7, 2016 by Annelise Schoups Leave a Comment

If you were asked to consider the best thing you’d ever spent seven dollars on, you would probably land on something trivial. An artisan sandwich or a carefully crafted cup of coffee. Maybe a cheap ticket to see a band you’d never heard.

Why is Avvo Called Avvo?

May 20, 2016 by Annelise Schoups Leave a Comment

In a list of pros and cons, the permanence of the internet is arguably one of its most loved and loathed traits. It can be nearly impossible to take back anything once published, and social networking sites are often tangled in a web of profiles that go on despite our mortality. The Facebook pages of deceased members, for example, sometimes serve as memorials for those who have passed. Legal service site Avvo faced a similar issue when it launched in 2007.

I’ll just come out and say it, there are a lot of unknowns when starting a company. Early stage founders are forced to enter unfamiliar territories, make gut instincts and wear multiple hats in order to keep this ship sailing in the right direction.

Why is Tinder Called Tinder?

May 9, 2016 by Annelise Schoups 2 Comments

“Once upon a time…” The story always starts before carefully unfolding the fairy tales that have come to serve as benchmarks for romantic relationships. They are often theatrical and extravagant, full of surprises but never uncertainty.
