    Seems like the new way to get rich is by losing other people’s money. Start inc, get investors, pay yourself and friends hefty salaries, drive company into the ground… guess these people never dealt with someone that will delete you over their money

    • @MayorSom
      @MayorSom Před 17 dny

      That's because the people funding them (VCs) do not have any skin in the game. In fact, they are doing the very same thing. Zero accountability and scrutiny. The biggest losers are the LPs (those whom the VCs raised the money). It's not too farfetched to suggest it's borderline ponzi-ish

    I will never bet on a designer at the helm for the same reason why you wouldn't want an artist running Google or GE. Designers have the ability to skyrocket good ideas to the moon; literally: Apple. But they live in emotion-land, which you don't want on your 10ks and annual reports.
