Your last line is a really interesting one. Most governments probably are to some extent self aware, insofar as there's an executive branch. But I think the self awareness you are referring to is a kind of secretive adaption of sorts,

Zoho's products are mediocre. But I suppose it makes sense in the context of going for the strip mall approach to cloud software. Offer a ton of services and hope to hook the user and upsell. The main problem I find with their service is th

I totally agree. It's the fact that a degenerate like that can end the life of someone awesome--the asymmetry--is what is really curse-worthy hard to understand.

How do you define seed investor here? Most people need some sort of startup capital beyond the accelerator, as most companies don't get to profitability quickly enough. Also, I think this ignores B2B cases where you can't so easily build a

Good thoughts. If apps and the tools to make them become so modular, you could see the concept taken to its logical conclusion. Rather than just customizing at the broad business level, enabling businesses to customize apps based on more gr

Why not just call it business development? Why do we need the word "hacking" as part of what has been the way businesses grow?

Thanks David. I agree with these points. Given the founder's priority is for their team, how do they effectively represent both their team's interest and the investor's interest to the acquirer? In a tight situation, who gets the preference

Fantastic. Do you have more examples of apps built on Trigger by chance? Would love to see em.

Fantastic. I'd love if you could tie in political contributions and voting patterns, as well as various types of patterns (which committees hold up what kinds of bills), etc.
