I mean, I get what the guy is saying, but look at the text vs subtext here:
text is "here is advice to take a burgeoning company to the stratosphere" But honestly, how many people in that position are going to read this blog post? 3? 10? If this was his true intention, he would have packaged this as some kind of super premium offering that only well-connected VCs could read or something.
subtext: "I'm really smart about what takes a company from success to HUUGE SUCCESS." Is this guy trying to gain a rep in VC circles as a CEO of late stage startups or something? What's his angle?
- andrewprock 10y agoIt feels like Trello was a HUUGE SUCCESS. Todo lists are notoriously hard, and target a very thin demographic; people who are trying to plan and track progress, i.e. middle managers or OCD contributors. Reaching $N million instead of $2.4N million, where N > 200 doesn't really feel like an obvious shortfall.
- officelineback 10y agoI agree with you, and others in this thread have lauded Trello's success. But the author of the page is angling for another interpretation, and I'm trying to figure out what he hopes to get out of it.
- rhizome 10y agoWhat do you think that interpretation is?
