What has happened in the venture funding world in the past couple of months? How do you handle repositioning? Can you lean too heavily on your product, features, and roadmaps? What do you do when one of your features falls flat?

Today, Brian dives deep into repositioning and how ZipMessage has refocused in the past couple weeks. Meanwhile, Jordan talks about the biggest mistake he has made with Rally so far.
