Adora's talk was very well done. Her use of metrics and graphs to explain various parts of a startup's life was valuable. Frankly, each type of company she discussed (B2B, consumer, etc) could be expanded into their own talks.

One point that rang true was when she said that you may hit a point where the economics of a specific business don't make sense. IME, the economics of a business often look one way before you start, but become increasingly real as you gain early experience with the business. I'm not sure if she was trying to hint that a pivot discussion needs to happen after the real economics of an idea become known, but that's what I got from this point.
