I'm a technologist at heart with a passion for emerging products and early stage companies.  Simple timing put me in the right place at the right time and gave me several opportunities to help shape the Internet during its formative years.  My education came via hands-on product development, a stint at NYU and side-by-side work with some of the most innovative minds in software.

    Best in Class is a Sucker's Bet... At Least When You're Building Software 

    Geoffrey Moore does a great job explaining how innovation can separate you from the heard and also how it can be a purely fruitless investment.  The line between good enough and over developed has been crossed by every entrepreneur, learning from your mistakes and being able to find "good enough" is what makes us a profitable, and good product managers.

     

    In this presentation Geoffrey Moore dives into how innovation makes successful companies and how it can separate you from the herd.  There are a few gems in there, my favorite (I'm paraphrasing): Best in class is a sucker's bet.  It will get lots of applause, but no-one will pay you.
