If the question needs to be asked, it hasn't! Seriously -- Product/Market Fit means the market is pulling product out of the company faster than the company can make it -- it's unmistakable when it happens.

"Ibn Saud: The Desert Warrior Who Created the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" by Michael Darlow, about the founder of Saudi Arabia. Breathtaking story and really outstanding book. Highly recommend. https://www.amazon.com/Ibn-Saud-Warrior-Created-Kingdom-ebook/dp/B008AW5JU6/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Yes! There is an art to starting companies, grounded in the science. Storytelling really matters. Some things, and people, catch the imagination more. And timing is really important, hard to get right, but can be magical.

Just started a company. A few competitors raised before me but didn’t drum up excitement.

I’ve seen a lot of excitement around our company. I suspect it’s because our story is much better.

Wondering if you’ve seen this sort of thing happen before.

Without in any way expressing any view on the status quo -- generally tech strangleholds get rendered irrelevant by platform shifts, more often than they are broken in situ.

Do you foresee apple’s stranglehold on app stores withering considerably in the next 5 years? If yes, what do you think will be the key vectors?

If you were in the room with everyone you’ve ever met, who would be the one you’d look for?

I personally loved coding in LISP, but it was simply too hard for most people, so the market never hit critical mass.

Was there ever a real commercial path for LISP machine adoption, or was it hopeless from the start?

I have no idea, but I'd just observe that historically, lowering rates into a Presidential election would not be enormously surprising. 😆

Do you think FED will lower or raise rates this year? How will this impact BTC and other digital assets?

I suspect early stage venture probably looks a lot the same in 5 and 10 years? It's a pretty stable model, goes back hundreds of years...

What does early stage venture financing look like in 5 years? 

10 years?
