My advice was to start a policy of making reversible decisions before anyone left his office or before a meeting ended. By the time a big company gets the committee to organize the subcommittee to pick a meeting date, your startup could have made 20 decisions, reversed five of them and implemented the fifteen that worked.

We both met often and went to all of the press meetings together.) Theoretically, that’s why I hired them. You don’t delegate life and death.

You could sense the skepticism in my staff meeting as I described what I found. The first part of my weekly department staff meeting was dedicated to hearing everyone going around the room and talking about their customers. First, I presented what I had learned. Within a month the change inside the marketing department was palpable.

I decided that since it was a parody, it got to go in a different category than “Christmas-Music” in my brain and I tagged it instead as “Hilarious-Parodies Humor TechStars.” Eight mentor meetings. And then I listened to it. And it was hilarious.

I had a pleasant meeting and was as convincing as a marketing type could be to a very earnest and quirky field service guy, mostly promising the moon for a versatile but then very buggy piece of silicon. I thought nothing about the meeting until years later. Whenever he did that most vendors would ignore him in the meeting.

By the time the meeting was over I left wondering whether the Customer Development model would help or hinder their companies. Bill and his partner Fred Wilson have invested in ~30 or so companies with 27 still active. They’re putting money into web services/business – most without early revenue. It’s an impressive portfolio.
