Internet fist bump to the entrepreneur who, in April 2017, asked me how to go about doing an extremely ambitious company and who has sent 2 years worth of updates titled:
$COMPANY: $MONTH $YEAR

This seems intuitively true, but worth checking. Do you think there are outsized gains for people willing to go off script? (not "I'm gonna start a startup in SV off script, _really_ off script)

Perhaps you're looking in the wrong places? I've been cranking for over 20 under subsistence conditions with 0 support. Try harder.
