> I wonder how "Wall Street is not your friend" would play in the NY Times. The comparison here isn't very apt because wallstreeters don't really pitch themselves as visionary innovators out to "save the world" and "do no evil." I mean sure the PR departments of all the bulge brackets will spin their typical corporate BS, but generally speaking, Wall Street is pretty self-aware. In comparison, tying your mission to some humanistic cause is basically a pre-requisite for a tech company/startup. Case in point from yesterday's WSJ coverage of Outcome [1]: Outcome has said its mission is to “activate the best health outcome possible for every person in the world” and provide "actionable health intelligence at the moment of care." In practice, it puts flat screens and tablets in doctors’ offices and gets paid by pharmaceutical companies to run ads on them. 1. http://archive.is/QZnTN http://archive.is/QZnTN
