I’ve been working with entrepreneurs since the 1980s.
Sadly, the mindset has changed significantly—and not for the better.
I’m not the only one who feels that way.
German designer Hartmut Esslinger, who met Steve Jobs in 1982 and told him “Apple’s products were incredibly ugly and wasteful in production,” puts it this way.
“There is a bubble where greed meets hype and fake: Too many want to get rich instead of doing something meaningful for mankind, something for progress, to improve life.”
“Greed meets hype and fake;” what a perfect description of so many apps with billion-plus valuations.
The question you need to ask yourself is, “does it fit mine?”
