Don't go public. Look at major companies like Facebook that have become massive user data and time exploiting machines for the sake of increasing share price. Stay private and recognize what place your product has in the world - many ideas CAN be billion dollar ideas if they pervert their original vision, but many ideas ought to remain much smaller and focused to stay true to themselves, not investors.
And is this article really arguing that Americans are underinvested in the stock market and not grossly overinvested?
- doomlaser 9y agoSpaceX, Valve, Dell (for now?) — what are other good US technology examples?
- jjcm 9y agoValve is great when things are interesting to work on, but I wouldn't consider them a company that are role models. The downside to Valve is since everyone is their own boss, maintenance becomes something no one does. They need to solve that problem before I'd consider them a good company role model.
- Silent_Tempest 9y agoSo what companies do you consider to be "role models"?
- quickthrower2 9y agoCould they pay a higher salary for maintenance to compensate? Like a reverse auction. Then it becomes something that the people who are most desperate for money will do.
