I mean no offense to the author (who I do think is right) but I find it terrifying that the startup world has come to the point where "Have a business plan that doesn't rely on you having millions of users to be profitable" is considered an insight and not just plain common sense.
- chailatte 16y agoI wonder if it's already too late though. There are too many free webapps/mobile apps released. When the investment dollar dries up this year and the global economy crashes and all those startups can't raise the next round (and can't eat ramen/live with 5 roommates anymore), they would have a very hard time start charging for software.
- sliverstorm 16y ago"come to the point"? Wasn't it just 10 years ago people were saying "Go big or go home"? It's not like this misconception is anything new.

They believe me that there are diamonds in the rough, in terms of companies and individuals that would be great to work with, but the industry and community are unparalleled in self-parodying. My colleagues' qualms have merit, the myopia is appalling.
