      To actually make money in Silicon Valley you have to fund problem spaces well before there are lots of Twitter threads about it!

      That may not always be true. Sometimes (e.g. in the case of Dropbox) the VCs' proverbial "crowded market" is a sign of a real problem that has no clear solution yet.

          The question is, does the constant Twitter thread about a personal CRM apply to the former tweet or the latter? I feel like that's one of the classic 1000 solutions, but everyone wants a product to do it, and no one is happy with it.

          My guess is that there's potential there.

          there is a meta-Talmudic approach that if there are a number of alternative solutions to a problematic passage, each of them fall short.

          there are also crowded markets with huge opportunities that VCs aren't thinking about at all, like fashion.

          Just keeping the Twitter stream honest. Thanks PG, you’re right.
