Re: OT: "Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubbleâ

[Gene Kim-Eng <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Without getting into specific personalities or candidates, after 20+ 
years in various "start-up bubbles" (and I would argue that each 
start-up represents its own "bubble"), running for political office and 
launching a start-up have similarities: you attempt to persuade 
investors to get on board with big talk about what you intend to achieve 
while talking as little as possible about how you will achieve it, and 
your investors gamble that you actually know you are talking about and 
can really deliver.

The failure-to-deliver rates are probably pretty similar, too.
