A recent post by Guy Kawasaki (continuing the thread of a guest column in TechCrunch by Glenn Kelman) talks about the differences and similarities between the Web 1.0 vs Web 2.0 entrepreneurs. Often, he says, it's the same entrepreneur, but much richer, less driven, less suited for the CEO role he/she wants to take on.
Paraphrasing Sequoia's Mike Moritz, he quotes his definiton of the ideal entrepreneur:
“Guys under thirty who are building a product that they themselves want to use.”
Three observations:
- I'm not a guy. Actually, two-thirds of ResearchTrail are women.
- I'm 31 (and actually, the youngest of the co-founders)
- But yes, we're building ResearchTrail the way each of us, with his/her different background and experience, would give anything to use.
Guess we just expanded the definition.
