I don't understand how you can say this...
>> Quirky nailed nearly everything
and then say this...
>> It may sound harsh but at nearly every step of the way, the loftiness of Quirky’s ambitions far outpaced the laws of physics.
So they nailed nearly everything, but the fundamental goals they set were impractical and unattainable?
- firebones 11y agoYet all the people their lofty ambitions convinced to invest, be on the board and advise also missed this problem with the fundamental goals.
- markbnj 11y agoYeah perhaps he is just indulging in the benefits of hindsight.
- rm445 11y agoWell it was going to have to be something like that, wasn't it? If they were such a stellar team, they're much less likely to fail to convince anyone to fund them, or make some dreadful legal or accounting mistake that got them shut down, or get bogged down technically and never release a product. If you aren't going to fail for prosaic reasons, you're either going to succeed or find that your initial ambitions were impractical and unattainable.
