Is Websummit the Internet's Primordial Soup
- ehurrell 12y agoInteresting article. While the central conceit pointing out the event's evolutionary traits is a bit laboured there are a few good points in there: "...turning startup entrepreneurship into a spectacle akin to The Voice is demeaning and disconsiderate, unbecoming even of Donald Trump. Because 6 minutes are… well 6 minutes, the “competition” degenerates quickly into a contest of style over substance." I was at the event and it certainly was strange to see some companies embrace 'startup culture' rather than running a business.
