I don't know either about the wealthy students, but being a manager at a bigco surely must help you to get customers with the network they have, especially if their startups are in a related field.
- nraynaud 11y agoIn my experience, it doesn't. They just go after blue chips again directly, but blue chips have a 18 months decision time on a purchase and don't like new technology. They lack the humility/will to go after many small companies to hone the product, business model and the funnel against many customers before hunting the whales again.
