Sure, but they're software startups first and foremost. Conversations felt like they inevitably drifted to very stereotypical discussions ("What's your stack?" or "Who's funding you?") because that's most people's day-to-day.
It's a bit like speaking to a group of executives (who also might come from diverse sectors) vs. speaking to a group of teachers, artists, dog walkers, and construction workers.
- gxs 9y agoThat's right - and I alluded to that in my comment. My point is that startups hire SME in all of those areas - people are actually dog walkers, teachers, artists, etc. It may not be the focus - but the people and jobs are there even if not the primary focus.
