The didn't change anything about taxis, they restricted the meter and administrative side of a taxi company into an app. From the town that restructures business processes into software.
- logicallee 11y agoYour point doesn't change mine, the parent said you have to know about the world you're disrupting, for example the taxi world (my example). But you don't have to know anything about the taxi world to make a taxi app (as you put it) and a ten billion dollar company around it. You don't need to "live in" the industry or sector you're disrupting.
