company that sells T-Shirts or a law firm, software integration (well - the right software integration) can really help scale your business out effectively.

Get in with Other Start-ups: Building relationships with other start ups that are at the same level that your start up is on is a great way to help accelerate your businesses growth. Find a stratup that can benefit your business as well as one that you think your business can help out. Strong and long lasting business relationships can be built this way.
