In the vein of napkin-drawn business plans, enjoy this index card argument for exercising your inner child, courtesy of Jessica Hagy:
An analysis: Heaps of imagination at a startup yields heaps of money. Or is it heaps of imagination and heaps of money yield a startup?
Presumably the latter, under the assumption that a dearth of imagination in the hands of a bore rarely equates to heaps of money. A tongue-in-cheek answer: It depends on investor sentiment. Or even bolder: It depends on your fund’s vintage year (the bubble’s fanciful imagination and heaps of money sometimes yielded a startup and not much more). Hagy’s card (dated 11/20/07), of course, comes a mere two weeks before the Bubble 2.0 video.
In all seriousness, I like that this piece highlights the gap between “bore” and “startup.” It’s rare to run across someone in the business who’s boring. Crazy, sure - a prerequisite for success (I’m sure there’s another funny index card in there). But boring? Nope.
