Imagine being an investor and being approached by a business SaaS company that has raised $5 million, has $100k / month of revenue, has been growing at about 5% per month, and is doing a $10 million round.

Within a year, by late 2000 / early 2001 consulting firms were firing people en masse. On July 27th, 2001 Accenture IPO’s and many of the partners grew fabulously wealthy.

The rest will hopefully die because the partners don’t even have time to engage with 100 companies. I dropped out of college in 2001, so this would be 17 years in. Because of that, I spend all my money with Google and Facebook and the rest is sort of, eh, I don’t know what do to.” I don’t get it.

Everywhere I lived, I saw just how big an impact the education I was able to attain had, and how big an impact the lack of education had on the rest of my family and friends in terms of what they could achieve.
