I wonder if someone like YC or a16z could manage to hire a journalist or anthropologist to make an honest chronicle of what happens at startups and not turn it into a propaganda piece.
Having to explain yourself helps clarify what you’re doing. The time “lost” keeping said person updated might even pay for itself.
- scarface_74 2y agoI found the “Startup” podcast to be interesting when they documented real time the founding of Gimlet media, pivoted to other companies and then went back to document their acquisition by Spotify
- random3 2y ago+1 on the Gimlet media. Also reading Scott Belsky's "The messy middle" let me match a lot of my experience. I tried to read "Eating Glass: The Inner Journey Through Failure and Renewal" but didn't have the energy/stomach. Re a16z - "The hard thing about hard things" is not bad either. However I think a frequent series short stories over a large period of time, would make for much better content.
