You've ignored a couple crucial aspects though: 1. while I'm also skeptical re vaccines, we might well have more effective medical treatment options in a few weeks or months. There are a whole range of different phase 3 trials hap

Sorry, but this is bogus. EDIT: I do not mean to imply that Italy failed in any respect. Italy has one of the best HC systems in the world. The only reason this testing aspect worked out well for Germany is a very localized testing system.

Italy got caught by surprise - they only found out that they had cases when a 38 year old (!) walked into an ER with advanced symptoms. Given that this age bracket is not commonly affected by these harsher symptoms it is clear that they had

One of the advantages of running your own business is that you set the tempo and values of it yourself. You. No one else. If you end up with something that isn't working out for you, you're doing it wrong. At my previous company,

This could swing both ways alas. The optimistic case would be how swine flu played out, where initial estimates for fatality where in the percentage range but ended up in the per mille dimension. However, for SARS 1.0, it was initially esti

It is difficult to provide useful feedback without much more context, but - very generally: - since you are just starting out, it is likely that your pricing is too low. Again, hard to say without understanding more about your product and m

Do take a look at Korg Gadget - it is a tremendous piece of software. VERY easy to pick up and just jam even with the vanilla synths (Chiang Mai is one big sweet spot), but really also deep enough to produce pro level tracks. The additional

I doubt this would work in any more structured interview process for a regular job at a larger company (with the likely expection of VP+ level jobs), but it could be very effective for interviewing at startups, especially when they're

What makes you think that there aren't "more" lifestyle businesses? One thing to not underestimate is that owners of lifestyle businesses, unlike their VC-funded counterparts, often really aren't that interested in getti

It's easy to read this and agree, but quite a bit more difficult to then turn down discussions with Big Co once you've quoted them 1M ACV and they didn't flinch. If you feel you must pursue such a deal against this advice, on

Optimizely is now focusing on the enterprise segment, which requires a different culture and skillset than you'd need when selling to smaller businesses. Doing both at the same time, for most products, will almost always require two se

Great move to make this transparent to founders, even at an early stage. I'd argue it even makes sense for founders to file their entire paperwork in a folder structure that reflects this set up from the get go . What looks like an un

No framework, but I'd very much recommend reading up on "Difficult Conversations"[1], which has been very helpful for me ever since becoming CEO. Giving feedback, more often than not, will constitute a difficult conversation,

Sound is such a context-dependent experience. I vividly remember taking a walk with my parents in the Alps through the most pristine landscape. It was beautiful, except for the annoying sounds of a nearby highway. A few minutes later, we ex

IANAL, and this depends on many many factors, and probably many more than you currently have on your radar given the way you've phrased your question. Best way forward here is likely to sit down with a great lawyer and talk through the
