This is why they should go full conglomerate and spin off companies all the time.
Otherwise, with those expectations, it's impossible to build something good and impactful.
- kelnos 2y agoI really thought this was what the plan would be when Alphabet was formed.
- chadcatlett 2y agoGoogle X/X Development LLC is the Google incubator for possible spin-offs as far as I can tell.
- nh2 2y agoWhat would be the benefit of doing it spun-off vs. in-house when it's still owned by the same company and making the same amount of money?
- nextos 2y agoLess red tape, more freedom to operate. If done inside a conglomerate, it can be the best of both worlds. Access to Google tech and funding, but free from rigid corporate hierarchies, at least at the beginning.
- lmm 2y agoSpinning it off limits the downside/risk to the parent company. Basket of options worth more than an option on a basket and all that.
