Although I don't consider myself a blogger i like to read a lot of blogs and my old friend Jason Calacanis wrote a great entry on saving money with your startup. I don't agree with all of it but a lot of if is right on.
More to my tastes was an entry from Dave Winer where he discusses the virtues of GREAT PRODUCTS. And that with great products success is more or less guaranteed.
Imho, having started two companies -- one that failed and one that succeeded, and watched dozens of others over 30 years, the difference is the ones that succeed have a hot product that lots of people want, and the ones that fail don't. I don't think whether you savor every penny makes much of a difference, in fact if you pinch them too hard your people are going to hate you, and they have to love the founder, just as the customers must and the press and even the competitors.When I think about the people who had runaway successes that made them fortunes the ones that had great products and were admired by many were the ones that really hit it out of the park. I can't think of anyone who had a great product and failed because they didn't watch every penny.

In case you haven't seen them on our site or in stores, we recently introduced three new diaper bag styles - City Chic, Via Messenger and Via Backpack. We are very excited about the addition of these bags to the Skip Hop line! They are all functional and well designed - and offer something different for moms and dads.
The luxurious leather-trimmed City Chic features an exclusive removable clutch - it's truly the chicest bag for the most fashionable mom and baby!
The new Via Messenger is an amazingly functional and organized diaper bag - and includes 18 pockets!
Our Via Backpack features an easy-access changing station that opens up like a book for maximum viewing and includes a cushioned changing pad. An added plus is stroller clips that allow it to attach perfectly to any stroller.
A Skip Hop fan snapped this picture and sent it to us. Amazing what people can do with our stroller straps!

This week we introduced updates and new features to nearly all of our diaper bags! It’s been a very busy and exciting time for us! Our Duo, Dash and Double now all have the “Deluxe” suffix, and these bags feature dozens of updates including all new magnetic closures, soft removable shoulder pads and more. We also introduced an amazing new bag called the Via Messenger, which is by far the most functional bag we’ve ever designed.
We’ll cover more details on all of these updates on upcoming blog entries but the first thing I want to tell you about is our new Shuttle Clips. These patent pending clips took us 18 months to design and develop – we went through nearly a half dozen designs, compete with extensive consumer testing, tooled and re-tooled, and perfected what we believe are the ultimate stroller clips. Skip Hop was originally known for our diaper bags that worked as both a stroller bag AND a messenger style shoulder bag. In fact, we pioneered that entire concept, so we were really driven to take it to the next level.
Our innovative Shuttle Clip design - a completely new type of stroller attachment clip system - is the culmination of everything we know about stroller attachments for diaper bags. It’s an amazing and unique clip that allows both the stroller straps and the shoulder strap to be attached at the same time. You can leave the shoulder strap on or take it off when attaching our new bags to the stroller. You can leave the stroller straps attached or disengage when using as a messenger bag. And the streamlined clips do all of this in a great, sleek, non-bulky design. There are basically two different receptacles on the clip –one for the shoulder strap and the other for the stroller straps. With different types of release mechanisms – side release for the shoulder strap and center for the stroller straps – it’s a cinch to engage and release both. And now there’s absolutely no fumbling around when changing the bag from stroller to shoulder and back again!
The innovative Shuttle Clip allows our bags to attach to the stroller in a snap!
