Startups Suck

We are in a post startup era. SAS is over. The cloud is here, almost fog. I see accelerators everywhere. Social businesses. Bing bing. Bling.

Where is the money? The customers? Seems to me that there are too many startups making products for no one and solving problems that don’t exist. It would inspire me if all this human capital was doing something. Curing disease. Getting off this rock. Expanding emotional or intellectual space. But most of these startups are just creating web forms. Information ^curriers. Scuttlebutts.

We don’t spend time on high technology, pushing limits.

Another startup, another photo wall of founders and unqualified C-level execs. Wow.

Maybe this internet thing made us too introverted. Too focused on our own awesomeness.

Humility is rare.

Well, it may be time to regroup.
