How startups can slay giants
- TheSOB88 17y agoSeems useful, but is this true? "Face it, no sane person wants to buy software (or any other service, really) from a startup." I've read plenty of stories that claim otherwise, but they were just stories. Seems like the world would be a pretty bad place for startups if it were so.
- pchristensen 17y agoIt's the typical early adopters/mainstream/laggards split (see Crossing the Chasm). Basically employees at BigCo get a smile and a pat on the back if a decision they make goes well, or they get punished, demoted, or fired if it goes badly. Since they're not writing the checks and have little upside, they're inclined to go with the boring, conservative choice.
