Silicon Valley gets a bad case of startup-itis; the doctor is in

Arrogant post, brings no value: I did not like too much Michael Arrington?s post, because I don't see how truly innovative companies could be negatively effected my too much money floating around. If some VC like to waste their money on me-too startups it's their problem. Serious innovators are still free to do their job, have their exciting high-tech cafe-based meeting and all the rest.

At least, however, Arrington?s post describes a sentiment, and a possible future trend. This post, instead, is trivial, arrogant and does not deliver any valuable information to the reader (beside ignoring its author).

Truly innovative companies are the ones taking most of the risks, they rarely have a customer base when they look for foundings, and they have a lot of difficulties in getting founds because of all this PR buzz.

Ignoring (like this arrogant post suggests) does not help the industry nor the society. The point is rather to find ways (even institutional) for making evaluation easier to VC, so that truly innovative companies can make it, and finally deliver value to the whole society.; Posted by: antonio.leonforte@...
