I'd be careful about drawing too many conclusions from this story. For one thing, you are not Marc Lore. With a successful Amazon sale under his belt, he certainly had a leg up on fundraising over almost anyone. His name alone helped to generate buzz.
But even being Marc Lore is enough. I worked for his cofounder from diapers.com and you've probably never even heard of that company—building hype requires a compelling narrative, not just a big name.
- honkhonkpants 10y agoNever heard of diapers.com? No way. That site was/is incredible. Soap.com is still to this day how I go shopping on Amazon.
- morgante 10y agoNo, I meant you've probably never heard of his subsequent company (somespider.com), where I was the first employee.
