#62I think the comments on here would be a more valuable "MBA crash course" for Mr. Maffin.
Re: How Google killed my startup
#63"Along the way, we learned an enormous amount about building a startup, pitching potential investors, and things such as cap tables, term sheets, Series A rounds, company valuation. It felt like a real-world MBA crash course." You learned everything about building a startup except building a profitable, sustainable business. Everything else is secondary.
I wonder why your comment is being downvoted. This is very true
Because it's not secondary. They are equally important parts of running a business. Just because the business didn't succeed doesn't mean they are unimportant.
Re: How Google killed my startup
#64It wasn't the Google who killed the startup, it was the OP. YouTube is already a threat to gaming video services, even without a specialized offering. Still, Twitch took off. If YouTube was going to be YouTube of gaming, then OP could have been Vimeo of gaming. I mean seriously, if Vimeo could be a profitable enterprise with a free, good enough YouTube, then so could them. I'm not sure about other people, but events…
Just to clarify: I'm the OP, not the Author.
Yes, by OP I meant the original poster of content. You're a submitter.
So all my comments are directed to the author of that post, obviously. :)
