MBA Mondays
For almost four years, from Jan 2010 to late 2013, I would write a column every Monday called MBA Mondays where I tried to cover the basics of a business education here at AVC.
There are roughly 200 posts in total that I wrote during the time this weekly series was active.
Since many regular readers have shown up since then and may not know about MBA Mondays, I thought I would let all the new readers know about it.
You can see the entire MBA Mondays archive here.
There is a lot of good stuff in there.

All I can say is Thanks Fred!
Just going to leave this here as well… http://www.mba-mondays-illu…
A classic
CONTRIBUTORS:We have asked Fred to continue with the series but it has fallen on death ears. Hopefully we have become the “it is a good idea whisper”. It may take a while but it eventually is addressed.MBA Mondays assists those without a MBA but a BS who are CEO’s, Managing Partner’s, President’s and Operational Managers. We do appreciate the archives which we have continuously made part of our reading routine.One of the many gems on the MBA archives is How to make a return on your Investment. The comment section provided some real operational gems.Appreciated.
There is a question I have always wanted to ask you. Who is “we”?

Thanks for re-posting. It is easy to skip the ones that weren’t on top of the priority list at the time.
CONTRIBUTORS:OFF TOPIC ALERT!BTC over $4K is un-fundamentally ridiculous….
Thank you Fred! I discovered your blog about a month ago so it’s helpful to discover useful resources like MBA Mondays, which new members may not know about.
Just sent off my MBA 690 syllabus, with an updated link… have used the same reading assignment https://uploads.disquscdn.c… for 10+ years….
How much of this is modified by crypto?
JaredMermey:Business applications or methods can be applied to any business model or Going Concern. Tweaking those principals is the key.
Thanks Fred – I regularly share the ESOP session with founders as a great resource
Don’t forget there are also audio podcasts of the MBA Mondays posts, which are great if you are out and about:https://itunes.apple.com/us…
A great source of wisdom and insights, highly recommended!
Thanks for the re-post. Quality from the Yoda of VCs
“There is a lot of good stuff in there.”Understatement of the year. That goes for the posts themselves as well as many of the comments.
MBA Mondays is a gold mine! Once again, thank you, Fred.And this explains why out of the blue I received a LinkedIn connection request from someone who said that he had recently read my guest post. Couldn’t figure out how that surfaced.In that post, I highlighted this little early stage startup founded by AVC regular Aaron Klein. Riskalyze has gone on to become one of the leading fintech growth companies — and truly an amazing company, with another AVC’er as Chairman (Andy Swan) and other AVCers as advisors and investors. Just last month had the privilege of helping Aaron hire a great CFO, and in the process networked with other AVC’ers — a career highlight for me.And another person highlighted in that guest post was Max Yoder. The company referenced is no longer, but the other company Max was beginning to work on at the same time, Lessonly raised a Series A and is thriving.MBA Mondays is one of the rich legacies of AVC. A rich network of some of the best and brightest (and nicest) is another.
thanks.
