Why the Internet won’t remain neutral forever

What bothers me the most is that many of the Founders don’t critically think through what makes teams and companies fundable. All founders must critically assess their...

3 ways in which Brand Positioning influences us silently
06May
I’ve usually been averse to buying premium branded apparel. For the simple reason that I could always find equally good clothing which isn’t necessarily a Lacoste or a Tommy, and which is as elegant and durable as that venerable brand. Garments is a very competitive industry. You are spoilt for choice and there are more brands to choose from for every category than the number of hours in a day...

29April

I therefore try to avoid visiting the United States more than once a year. But every time I visit that country, I remind myself how important it is to keep in touch with what is still the powerhouse of the global economy, for that...
