PG and Harj's pace is amazing - not a moment wasted. It's unfortunate to see that the lucky founders up there aren't really listening to their opinions. It seems like they're more interested in defending their product, rather than take suggestions.
- danberger 15y agoagreed. I was honestly pretty disappointed in the quality of startups that went up. Most of those guys didn't really seem to be prepared or willing to seriously address the obvious issues they had.
- happyfeet 15y agoI was trying to put myself in their situation to imagine what I would be doing answering those questions. PG & Harj's pace is superb trying to utilize every minute. I think the startups stand to gain much by being more open to criticism and looking for take-aways to improve their positioning, product etc., from their feedback.
- Harj 15y agoI can sympathize with them in this case, it would be hard not to lean towards being defensive when your product is being probed on stage in front of 3,000 people.
