Yes, it’s the time of year when we all look back and reflect on the past 363 days. While I’m not a fan of the ‘listicle’ (articles that are little more than a list), we’ve been fortunate this year to have featured a number of excellent guest columns on topics that have ranged from advice on raising money to questioning the conventions about the value of website traffic. So, in the spirit of end-of-year reflection, here is a selection of five of the most interesting and provocative guest columns that appeared on StartUp Beat in 2013:
