Building the Best Software Company

“Obviously, there’s no magic bullet. First, Google is investing in brains. Every company has a bell curve, right? It’s different here. The odds are pretty good that if you bump into someone in the cafeteria, they are world-class at something.”

Startups for the Rest of Us...
If you're trying to launch or grow your startup you've come to the right place.
I'm a
serial web entrepreneur here to share what I've learned in my 11 years as a self-funded tech entrepreneur.
Luckily several thousand people have decided to stick around and listen.
I cover topics that affect software and web startups of all sizes, but mostly relating to startups you can fund yourself.

That’s probably the most impressive thing I’ve seen so far in my new job (I work for a different big software company that everyone has hear of). Everyone here, and I mean everyone, is amazing.
During my first week, a “non-technical” product manager put together a full blown snowflake schema for an analysis project, and had a prototype implementation put together. His comment was “I’ve never seen OLAP before, could someone take a quick look?”
I’ve already seen that pattern repeated here time & again.
It’s just surreal to work with people so far outside the standard bell curve. As an enabler for personal growth, I couldn’t ask for anything more!
