Inc. Magazine Invites Austin CEOs to Talk About Startup Funding

I was invited by Inc. magazine senior editor Rod Kurtz to participate in the magazine’s Knowledge Series panel last night in Austin. The event, titled “Growth, Guts and Glory” was part of a four-city series being hosted by Inc. The topic was raising capital. I was on the panel along with Joel Trammell, CEO of NetQoS; Larry Warnock, CEO of Phurnace Software; and Patrick Durbin, CEO of Planview.

There were a group of local entrepreneurs with a wide variety of questions concerning the details of raising capital including the appropriate time, source and amount. There are no easy answers to these questions, since most scenarios have to be analyzed on a case by case basis. Some common concerns that were discussed were current low valuations amid the turbulent economic conditions. The consensus was that start ups must not lose focus on their product or services during their efforts to get capital. A strong product or service, including revenues and enthusiastic customers, will only help a company’s position when trying to raise capital.

Ultimately it would be optimum if a company does not need capital and can fund growth organically, but this is not the usual scenario. A lot of these decisions are dictated by the business model, the market conditions, and the effective implementation of the desired capital. Obviously there is a tremendous amount of market research and planning required to closely estimate your burn rate, runway and needed capital. Even if you decide not to raise capital, that’s a worthwhile exercise. And lastly, partnering with the right investors, whether angels or VC’s, can be a make or break decision, so choose wisely.

ReadWriteWeb Offers Exclusive Mumboe Beta Trial

Readers of the leading tech blog ReadWriteWeb got an exclusive offer recently to try out Mumboe’s new On-Demand Contract Intelligence capability, due to launch in mid-October. Journalist Sarah Perez gave Mumboe a terrific writeup, which appeared on the main page of the site on October 1st. Following are a few excerpts from the article:
ReadWriteWb

Mumboe isn’t just another enterprise collaboration suite. Instead, they focus on doing one thing and doing it well: making business agreements searchable. That’s a very unique need they fill, which is why is why they already have 3000 customers using their free Express solution after only having launched earlier this spring. To compete with the handful of other vendors in this narrow space, Mumboe has now added a new feature called On-Demand Contract Intelligence, which takes advantage of the service’s semantic processing engine to deliver something the others don’t: automatic extraction of data.

What Mumboe does is different – business agreement tracking and management. Through their dashboard you can keep tabs on upcoming and past-due tasks as well as deadlines. You can also create, view, or search for agreements in your online database. Now Mumboe is introducing another feature that lets them stand from the crowd out even more than before: On-Demand Contract Intelligence.

Do you need a hosted app for that?

Smallbiztechnology.com     Ramon Ray, editor of Smallbiztechnology.com, recently interviewed Mumboe CEO Bill Kane on this topic. Ray, author of Technology Solutions for Growing Businesses (Amacom), posed the following questions. Bill’s answers are summed up here, with links to the article for the full version:

RAY: There’s such an outgrowth of hosted applications for small and larger businesses. Mumboe provides one solution but other companies, such as those providing document sharing can do, to some degree what Mumboe can do. Beyond hosted applications, I think of traditional databases such as File Maker, Access and Alpha Software. These software products can also manage applications. What’s the value add of Mumboe?

BK: “Mumboe is the only company focused on providing enterprise-level contract management functionality in a simple, intuitive and affordable package. While there are many applications, hosted or not, that contain pieces of the functionality that Mumboe offers – such as collaboration tools, document storage and sharing, etc. – Mumboe is 100% focused on managing business agreements.” Read the rest of Bill’s answer here.

RAY: With the huge growth of hosted applications providing a range of solutions, when should businesses consider limiting or critically analyzing their hosted application uses? Is there a stage when they are using so many applications, things get out of control?

BK: “Integration will undoubtedly be one of the key growth drivers for on-demand applications. The issue is already driving major providers such as Salesforce.com, GoogleCisco/WebEx, and Intuit to introduce platform initiatives geared toward integrating other applications. This shift is going to provide enormous advantage for smaller businesses with limited IT resources, because the responsibility now lies with the software provider instead of with the customer to make integration work. Integration is built into the Mumboe application DNA, and over the next few months we expect to announce several integration initiatives with major applications used by businesses to manage relationships with their customers, partners and employees.” Read Bill’s full answer here.

RAY:  Are digital signatures a part of Mumboe’s solutions now or in the future?

BK: “There is no question that e-signature applications have received a lot of attention in the media, and these companies have attracted many customers with the simplicity of their idea and affordable pricing model. It is definitely in Mumboe’s plans to add this capability to our application. However, our customers have told us that it is very low on their list of priorities, and many customers have said they would not use it even if they had it, because their own legal process requirements forbid it. In surveys of our customers, they have almost universally prioritized other features.” (Get the list here.)

bMighty.com features Mumboe customer in SaaS article

Bmighty.com  bMighty.com, the SMB site run by CMP Media, featured an interview with Steven Vine, Deputy General Counsel at Register.com, in an article this week called Saas: Enterprise Power Comes to Smaller Businesses. Register.com, a 500-person Internet powerhouse originally founded as a domain registrar, has been expanding its focus to include a full suite of online business services. Vine, who joined the company a year and a half ago, immediately recognized the need for a system to manage the company’s business agreements. He signed up as an early Mumboe Beta customer and talks in the article about why he chose Mumboe and the benefits of the SaaS delivery model. The article goes on to explain how SaaS applications are giving small and mid-sized businesses access to the same sophisticated functionality that used to be reserved for enterprise organizations with big budgets. Here’s an excerpt:

“Like Register, many smaller businesses are now using SaaS applications to meet their business needs, large and small. And why not? On-demand applications typically have no startup costs, require no infrastructure investments, avoid vendor lock-in, offload upgrades, and don’t require an IT staffer to baby-sit the application. Instead, they offer a predictable monthly subscription fee. Just sign up with a credit card and start using a new application the same day.”
