Why is so many businesses still living in the past, and still trying to do business the very old way? Why do you need all those lousy lawyer-ish, back accountant-ish CEO’s, CTO’s and so on, a boring board of directors that is only killing you? Is it because you’re a VC funded company?

Some businesses wants the biggest customers. Big companies will only kill your innovation. They demand, and their demands are huge. You should’ve delivered yesterday and when you eventually deliver – they didn’t even know what they needed, so the rubber duck you gave them was useless anyway. It’s all down to a bunch of “so yesterday” business people that still live in the 80’s. And they’re killing innovation. Everything must be so cooperate-ish that they become invisible.

Take the top 500 companies in the world, and they all look exactly the same. They are not the ones inventing something new – they’re asleep and loosing market shares as you’re reading this. While they’re sleeping, they want you to be working your ass off, to deliver what they demand. But when working for other companies, you must communicate with them. And man, are they slow! So the big monster is sleeping, and making you sleep as well.

I know it looks very very good on your website, when you have the logos of the worlds biggest companies on your front page. But is it worth it? I certainly don’t think so, because they get to control your business – and more importantly the development of your business and product. And that is the worst thing that could happen. I’d rather make 1000 $ from 10 customers, than making 10,000 $ from one customer! Why? Because with 10 customers, I get more feedback, I can satisfy a common need, I can make a better product, they don’t control me, I’m not fucked if a customer quits or goes out of business.
