Article analysis is the process of identifying an author’s main argument, checking the evidence and methodology behind it, and evaluating the source, purpose, audience, and possible bias.

To analyze an article well, understand what it says first, then test whether its claims deserve your trust. That means tracing important evidence to primary sources, checking the author and publication, comparing independent coverage, and separating probability from certainty before you use the article to make a decision—or get fooled by terrible advice.

A minimum viable process is the smallest repeatable way to complete important work consistently, with a clear trigger, owner, sequence of steps, and outcome. A minimum viable product tests whether a product should exist. A minimum viable process makes sure the work around that product does not depend on one person remembering everything.

I know, you want to cut out admin work. You want to cut out time wasted on bullshit that does not directly affect traction. It is hard to pull yourself away from product and marketing to focus on how efficiently your startup runs internally, but it does have to be done.

You can build an MVP app without writing code by choosing one customer problem, mapping the smallest workflow that solves it, and using a no-code or AI-assisted builder to put that workflow in front of real users. The aim is not to recreate the final product. It is to learn whether people will use, value, or pay for the core outcome.

A useful MVP app combines one clear promise, one complete user journey, and one measurable behavior. Start with the riskiest assumption, select a build path that can test it, keep the rest manual where possible, and decide in advance what evidence would make you continue, change direction, or stop.

At Process Street, startup blogs are required reading for our team because founders and operators need better inputs for the systems they build.

Why can’t you get a job at a startup when people with less experience seem to get hired? Usually it is not one missing credential. Startups reject candidates when they see risk: culture mismatch, narrow ownership, slow ramp time, unrealistic expectations, or signs that the person did not read the role closely.

The thing to remember about startups is that every hire changes the company. In a small team, one salesperson, engineer, marketer, or operator can reshape the workload, the culture, and the speed of execution. Vinay Patankar, Process Street CEO and former executive recruiter, has seen that hiring decision from both sides.

The world is full of ideas, especially in the business world, where rapidly growing competition has made innovation mandatory. Your idea can be a real game-changer, but that does not mean anything if you do not know how to set it in motion in the right way. If you own a startup, you probably cannot wait to see it launch, and that is completely natural.

Startup law is less about paperwork for its own sake and more about precision. Think of those space movies with close-ups of faces behind monitors drenched in sweat: if you are off by even a small legal degree at launch, the deviation is multiplied as you hire, raise money, sign customers, and build intellectual property. The legal mistakes startups make can turn big dreams into nightmares, but the law can also be a useful tool on the road to success when you learn to recognize its traps and turn them into advantages.

Starting and running a business is hard enough without repeating the same business mistakes other founders and small business owners have already paid for.

The common thread is not bad luck. Most business mistakes come from unclear ownership, weak cash discipline, poor customer validation, undocumented work, or decisions made without the right expertise.

Project management is the key to sticking to your budget and deadline, whilst keeping the most important tasks at the forefront of your company.

Without it, you leave the future of your business at the mercy of your teams and employees (which, in case you weren’t aware, is not a good business model).

For such an important process, the project management steps are a little muddy, with sources citing differing numbers of steps, timelines, etc.

Then again, it’s a massive topic with a huge margin for error; how the hell do you convey these steps when the project could be anything from “get winter clothes in stock” to “grow to $220,000 monthly recurring revenue”?

Well, we here at Process Street hate making things complicated, so we’ve simplified the project management steps of any and every undertaking to five easy stages:

• Conception and initiation
• Definition and planning
• Launch or execution
• Performance and control
• Project close

If you’re looking to structure your next big push, or you just want to set and track realistic deadlines, then this is the process for you. Then again, feel free to skip ahead to any particular step you’re after.

The early days of a startup are crazy.

You have a small group of brilliant and adventurous people taking on tasks they’ve probably never done. Tight budgets leave you doing things like building desks out of doors because they’re cheaper. Your whole focus is solely directed at the goal of getting your product out there in front of customers, who probably don’t even realize how much they need your product yet.

Fast forward a couple of years and those brilliant and adventurous people now have job titles and (more or less) set job descriptions. Your engineers are spending most of their time finessing the UI and developing new features rather than building fundamental structures and foundations. You have a solid customer base that’s avid about your product – and just keeps growing.

Except – as brilliant as they are – that small group of people no longer has enough hands to do everything that needs to be done.

It’s time to scale your startup – but you need to do it fast, accurately, and strategically. So where do you start?

To find out, I sat down with Process Street‘s very own head of talent, Rosy Bellorini, to get an inside view on how to get the talent you need to scale your startup.
