You don’t need to build your Tesla or your Spacex. You need to build your Zip2, then work from there.

Zip2 sold to Compaq for $305 million so let's not play that down as some sort of easy first step 😆

Why are such lofty goals necessary? What would you do with several hundred million dollars? Isn't it enough to be financially comfortable?

It's about impacting the world as much as possible. I'm good, so I should impact the world. If you're not good then you shouldn't.

I'm with you on that. Better to talk impact not $ valuations. I'm a company founder BTW.

Impact sounds like wiggle word bullshit, valuations are your actual impact on the world. And you founded an employee owned company so I doubt you'll have much impact on the world.

What a bizarre world view you have! Dollar valuations don't have a lot to do with impact. Look up the dot com boom. Employee ownership is the way ahead - how is it fair that profits go to shareholders rather than the people that are doing the work and creating value?

If impact = valuation then oil companies should have negative valuations 😆
