Lorenzo like many, gets it

Lorenzo Geraci gets it, yet I have no idea who he is.
And in a true meritocracy that doesn't matter. Lorenzo dissects my "
Idiot CEOs" article for what it is: "it paints a very clear analytical picture of what the CEO a typical VC backed company might expect, not always pretty. And while Georges' tone is a bit sarcastic, it is not overly pessimistic, it is pretty real, without fluff, or best case scenario; describing best case scenarios or atypical results was not the intent of the article."
The response to my article has been overwhelmingly positive and we've collected
some of the accolades. Somewhat to my surprise a few VCs, who want to be part of the solution have reached out to talk - an effort we applaud.
What I want everyone to understand is that as a
successful participant of the innovative ecosystem I am not interested in spinning stories to boost my readership, but I am focused on working to fix the performance of all participants (fund-managers, VCs
and entrepreneurs) to ensure the future of technology as a sustainable and high performing asset class.
I spent 10 years building startups before I felt qualified to write about it. That real world experience is the basis for my opinions and
blogs. Thanks for your feedback.
