Very aptly said makes me think about some of the conversations we had with VCs While I agree with you that the intnsat-noodles trend is bad, I think there are more than a few basic reasons for it.It is widely perceived that the greed of making a quick buck is why everyone wants to have a startup. True, if you only look at inexperienced people jumping into startups and dreaming about VC funding. But look at the other side there is a whole ecosystem that dares you to jump in and the collective intelligence of that ecosystem cannot be questioned either since there are good companies being produced out of it.So what is going on here? My belief is that the global scenario is changing and in the true capitalistic sense, the gap between rich and poor, the gap between big companies and small companies is growing. This kind of an environment ensures that consolidation will happen at regular intervals and that is what is keeping the whole VC marketplace alive.Another thing that changed the dynamics in a big way post 2000 is the open-source revolution. There aren't a lot many things that you can build today and claim that this is so damn hard that no one else can build it . So the only way to save your business is to get users to adopt it fast.So if someone really understands this and likes intnsat-noodles, its really not a bad thing. Sadly, a lot of people who jump in don't understand this and to add to their woes are not building something that solves a real problem. They should listen to your advice.
