The Musings of Faith

There’s an endless debate about the good and bad of selling a company that’s still growing in the Valley right now. There’s the obvious macro-economic answer: Everyone selling too early is bad, because no new tech giants are created. There’s the obvious micro-answer: A few million dollars is life changing for most people, and those entrepreneurs deserve to make a life-changing amount of money.

If Web 1.0’s Kryptonite Was the Bust, Web 2.0 Kryptonite Was the Grind

Interesting thought. Being a part of a startup media company, I have to admit that the micro-answer does resonate with me. But I also have to admit that I want BlackTree to become a new media giant and disrupt the current corporate media landscape. There is certainly a middle ground that rewards founders and still makes corporate history. The question is: Does that founder have the knowledge and patience to make the right deal so that can happen?
