    Email lately is a strange mix of startups trying to figure out how to avoid being destroyed by the coronavirus, and others trying to figure out how to handle the unprecedented demand.

        What is your advice to the early-stage firms who have been directly hit? i.e. those that are ... - Travel industry - value prop. not directly tied to cost savings OR revenue growth

        Should the first group shift position and try to go after the second group's demand? Even if it's not their core business?

        Most high demand startups are assisting middle businesses, at least in mid market America, cities. I can't speak for big cities however.

        Austerity is Murder 🌹 @sdgrumbine
        The unfortunate thing is people on our own team listen to uneducated voices about economic solutions, perspectives and in desperation, ignore the most important things ... I mean absolutely VITAL things that are gonna really have far reaching and extremely negative consequences.
