this is Part 5 of the Foreign Affairs: Schumpeter's Heirs article.
interesting interview, with one of the major investor players in the industry. understanding the impact a venture-capital company like this has is really humbling.
a funny quote from the interviewer -do you know from the beginning that a Google is going to be a Google?- so iconic and with such a massive impact, Google is the go-to start-up success example that never gets old. some interesting insight, even in success stories there are difficult times, as stated in the interview, Google’s beginning was not easy and -cash was going out of the window at a feral rate- until a solution was found and the business model was adapted.
also interesting, the importance of the state in supporting the start-up and business world.
