Nouns

One Noun, every day, forever.

I don’t buy the “the opportunity costs and risk working on nouns related projects and products is higher than elsewhere” argument for inflated fund requests anymore. Never really have.

i think the risk is pretty obviously higher (building on a 3y old platform is always inherently risky) and the reward uncertain (the model is novel, you dont really have stake in nouns per default)

i dont know it that merits higher pay though -- mostly bc i think the risk/reward nature of nouns swings both ways (if you take a bet on nouns today and it becomes a world phenomena, youre probably gonna do okay..even if not 'found a $B startup okay')

how is it different from any other client project one might take on in a service agreement?

Agree - that’s a very specific cohort that earned this domain expertise. Different to pretty much everything else.

thats probably similar but never been my frame of ref (see wiz's reply)
