What’s the highest value company that was started with a method like this? Genuinely curious, can’t think of one.
- think_build 2y agoYes, what happened to building side projects? Meeting people that you've worked with that you would care enough to build something with?
- themanmaran 2y agoSuppose it's the same as online dating vs "meeting the old fashioned way". I'm also pretty partial to "just work on your hobby and meet someone else". But probably a lot of opportunity left on the table that way. Especially if you know you want to build something serious.
- rob313 2y agoGood q and I can't name one either. Though I suspect when you're successful you tell a modified story about how you met. "I ran a tight interview process and selected the best match based on vibes and a spreadsheet" isn't super inspiring to customers, employees, investors.
- inquisitor27552 2y agothats like doing tinder instead of talking to users and building it
- aduffy 2y agoDropbox comes to mind.
- jasfi 2y agoCoinbase is probably an example.
