Nicely written. Although uber and Airbnb are big because of the big VC money that can afford the lawyers and engineers. Not a lot of places around the world where capital + talent is available for snowball ideas.
- leereeves 10y agoThat's one reason a lot of startups end up moving to Silicon Valley.
- jv22222 10y agoI don't know about that... There are quite a few little snowball startups that started out as self funded that do pretty well. I'm thinking about Buffer, Drip, Litmus, Basecamp to name a few. Sure, some of them did raise money, but that was a long time after they were profitable.
