The 2013 Entrepreneur Roundtable Accelerator Summer Class launched this month at Microsoft's New York City office in midtown on 52nd and 6th Ave. It took place at Microsoft's office, which was very impressive. It had a sleek design and was very welcoming and warm. The look and feel of the space were about what you would expect from the tech giant, surprise meeting and collaborative areas around every corner-sprawling richly illuminated corridors, and simplistic finishes throughout.

Getting accepted into an accelerator is an exciting time for a startup. Visions of the program being the last piece of the puzzle to becoming a young, hip company loved by all enter the mind. Dreams of what the daily life will be like and how the company will be lifted into a new stratosphere due to the connections one will make during the program flow through the mind.

If you haven't ever rented retail space, we've created this fun infographic that lists most of the steps and the time frame each can take.

It seems like when anyone gets into the startup game, one of the first things that they begin to hear is that they need to have thick skin. A hard exterior is necessary protection from all the "No"s and "That won't work"s that s/he is going to hear over the ensuing months, and hopefully years.

I joined my first startup about 4 years ago, early in the life of that company. We had about 50 paying enterprise customers using the product and who willing and eager to share feedback to make the product better. While I was there, we were lucky enough to grow and continued to add customers to our subscription service. We grew enough to get our cash burn down to zero and eventually became profitable (20mph – 100mph). However, we faced many challenges along way. Some of which at the time made it seem like we were never going to make it through.

After reading all of the recent articles about the dominance of Apple stores and as avid Apple users ourselves, we decided to take a deeper drive into the numbers. Not only are most of the facts pretty mind boggling, we believe there is a trend emerging. In retail real estate, the anchor tenant is usually a big box retailer like Nordstorm or JC Penny, that gets a sweetheart lease rate and terms in order to attract traffic and smaller tenants. However, it is smaller Apple stores (many of which are under 6,000 square feet), that are becoming the attractive brand to attract traffic and tenants to retail real estate. It will be interesting to see if Apple is able to reduce its average price per square foot and how it might effect the big box retailers.

We had the pleasure of touring CultureMap's Houston office space, located on Wood Street in East Downtown. Given CultureMap's hip and trendy vibe, our expectations were high and the offices did not disappoint. With hardwood floors and the sun shining through the windows, the space has a happy, warm tone. The main area of the space includes a spacious open room for the writers to work and a large kitchen, where almost any meal could be prepared. In the back is the living room type set up with great artwork and great looking (and very comfortable!) furniture. We finished off the tour in CultureMap CEO Stephen Newman's office and saw why CultureMap is inspired by great design.

Since Trader Joe's just opened a new store in The Woodlands and is in the process of opening another store in Upper Kirby, it was an opportune time to see how big Trader Joe's really was. The Houston retail real estate Trader Joe's uses is 14,000 square feet on average, which is 40% bigger than their average store size (10,000 square feet) across the country. This is an interesting departure from the norm, since many feel Trader Joe's competitive advantage comes from its small store size.

For the next generation of workers, an office space is much more of a destination location than it was in the past. Businesses that hire Millennials have likely found that if they design an office lease that is conducive to collaboration, they are better able to attract and retain these younger workers.

So it's that time of year. Thanksgiving. It's one of my favorite holidays as it brings together two of my favorite things: food and more food (and my family). The other nice thing is that it always brings me back home to Houston, Texas when the weather is perfect this time of year (75 as I write this). I flee the colder climes where I have lived for the last 7 or so years in the artic tundras of DC and NYC.
