Effortless was referring to how quickly they positioned themselves to compete in an emerging landscape with lots of startups - one deal staffed them up. Whether they can manage those people effectively or ship big projects ... is a problem startups face too.
- vonnik 10y agoYes, but my precise point is that startups lure talent and iterate on product better than most large corporations, with enclaves and exceptions in a few large-ish companies, and virtually none any where else. $1B is the monetary expression of a lot of effort, and it's unclear whether they can actually do anything with what they bought. Most mergers and acquisitions are failures.
