The problem with this presentation is that it promotes the idea that names or ideas have some type of intrinsic value, which they do not. Startups are only made possible by finding a good team AND executing the idea; and in most cases having luck as well. The notion that name somehow have intrinsic value belittles all the work that real entrepreneurs do. Though, I do appreciate the time Kevin took to do these interviews and so far I find all the others positive!
@YehItsScott Where's your startup? Where's your VC connections? Rumor has it milk pulled 1mil+ in the first round of angel investing. Sure, he didn't sell digg, and it might be on the way out, but who cares? Foundation is inspiring, it gives one the ability to see the humble beginnings of some of the big names in the valley. Sorry you don't feel as though Kevin's pedigree is sufficient to be in the position to be able to do this. You could always not watch these videos? #justsaying
I have to start trying to work "surface" into my conversations.
