Conclusion
I really hope it will be useful. I know that there’s too much knowledge out there, unorganized. So centralization was the only way. If you think about it, Google centralizes knowledge and Amazon centralizes everything. Because the most effective way to give people what they want (and need) is to give them a large choice AND to make it quickly accessible. (Marketplace 101 :)).
I’m currently trying to validate a startup idea by building a bridge between Founders and VC to help them both and save time. Could you please help me with that ?
If you liked it, do not hesitate to share it. I’d be really glad to have your feedback as well. If you’d like more guides on other topics, please send me an email at messikaeytan1@gmail.com. I’m currently working on a cryptocurrency one. It’s gonna be huge.
