If I knew that, I’d be too busy to converse on hacker news.

I think the world would be better off if we had an 80/20 rule like the rest of the world seems to. But slow companies also deserve a bit more respect for finding the 20% in the 80%. I think that’s half undiscovered territory and half a shift in perception.

Slow companies can find that 20%, it's just that they can't raise $2m at a $12m valuation from seed-stage venture capital. The risk/return doesn't make sense.
