Winston Churchill said, “If you’re going through Hell, keep going.” This attitude is what saved me in my personal life and with my startups. Don’t stop. Don’t dwell on the negatives. Figure out a way to get through the mess. That’s the only way out.
In my first venture funded startup, just as we were running out of cash, a venture firm, which had promised us funding for six months and fully negotiated the deal, backed out. It was right before Christmas. That left us with no money and no options. I had to beg our employees to keep working and then find a way to fund the company. Sixty stressful nights later, we closed our funding, but not before going to Hell and back.
Review: Just read THE NIX by Nathan Hill. It’s brilliant, hilarious and mind-bending… that is, for the first half of the book. After that, it slowly loses its brilliance.
Is it worth reading? Definitely, if only for the first half. It’s Hill’s debut novel, and it’s an amazing achievement for a first-time author.
1) AR & VR will disappoint as adoption fails to meet expectations. Let’s face it, the experience on low-end devices is dismal, and most people don’t want to pay for high-end devices.
2) There’s lots of hype around the Blockchain, but it’s nothing but a piece of technology. Blockchain startups aren’t worth anything unless they’ve figured out a real business model.
3) General AI will fail. It’s too complicated. Narrow AI that solves customers’ most pressing problems is where the smart money is.
