The difference between a corporation and startup
Corporation: 90 % of time talking about the problem, 10 % working on it. Small Business: 10 % talking about it, 90 % working on it.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoI've always held a quite different view of startups. Namely that enterprises hold a lot of responsibility, they provide stable products, long support windows, quality customer service and a lot of their money, time, and effort goes into ensuring that continuity. Yes, they spend a lot of time talking, but that's because getting it right is an imperative. "Just doing it" isn't going to meet their customers' needs. Meanwhile, startups have a lifetime generally of "until they get bought out", and hence are apt to start and shutdown products with little to no warning, provide a minimal amount of long-term support or assurance, and with minimal or basic customer service. Sure, they operate with a lot less overhead, but they provide a much less reliable product.
