Quite funny too.
- jjeaff 7y agoYes, I was quite amused when that came out because we had been told that a few years before that show even aired.
- hugs 7y agoAs a founder of an SF tech company that now makes tens of millions of dollars a year, our revenue was never enough (or made fast enough) for the investors we talked to when we were raising our early rounds. Sometimes, if we made $X in 6 months, the VC's "no" was "We would have liked to see you make that in 3 months". It's why I have a tough time watching Silicon Valley -- it's too accurate and painful to watch.
- cboornaz17 7y agoI find it mind blowing that making robots to tap screens is such a lucrative business. Who's buying all of these up?
- hugs 7y agoThe robot business isn't bad... Story for another day. But it's my first startup, the test automation SaaS business that's currently making the big $$. Literally any company with a web site or mobile app needs to test their stuff. It's a huge market.
- pjbk 7y agoROI! Sadly the advice it's closer to reality than you would think. One of the VCs of my previous startup was part of the original ROI (Radio On the Internet) guys.
