- tszming 17y agoWhat if the VC replied "Yes"?
- prabodh 17y agomay he would have asked 'is it easily usable by your grand mother?'...answer would be a definite NO
- paraschopra 17y agoAnd VC would have asked how big is the market for file sharing for grand mothers.. Just joking, but I find the parallel to usable by grand mothers quite amusing! A lot of products are usable, yet they aren't what grand mothers would use.
- pavs 17y agoIf it was me I would have tried to highlight how dropbox is (will be) different from the cloud storage service the VC is using.
- tptacek 17y agoThen he goes to the next VC. There's lots of them.
- patrickk 16y agoIt's quite possible that this exchange didn't happen but he amusingly phrased it like this to illustrate how the competition sucked.
- nopassrecover 16y agoThis is perfect - I was never quite sure how to argue that a product entering a medicore but saturated market is worth investing in.
