Don't over-think this, kids.
- DrHankPym 14y agoAre you suggesting those articles / models contradict each other? They look pretty similar - one is just bumpier than the other.
- carsongross 14y agoThey do contradict one another. In one Paul lays out a process, actually the process (which gels with my experience) which involves a lot of pain and flat to down time, followed, in the very long run, by the eventual ramp and growth phase. Now he suggests you need to have 5% growth per week or your startup is doing it wrong. I think that the first view is that of a founder, whereas the second view is that of a VC.
