Maybe it makes sense to generalize that last paragraph. Your examples of corporations (eBay, Facebook, and Twitter), all have one very important thing in common: network effect.

In the “network effect” startup space, it seems even more critical to rapidly test and iterate in parallel.

When looked at from the perspective of the technology adoption lifecycle and financial market behavior, growth can be driven for a time, then it’s over. Continuous growth is myth.

When growth stops, disruptive innovation, either technical or business, is required.

Hi Joseph, unfortunately my NDA prevents me from going into the specifics of most companies. But I did touch on marketplaces at the end of my post where I wrote critical mass is required for certain products to become a “must have.” I’m not sure that I’d classify 20×200 as a marketplace though.

Was this the same case with 20×200, which is a marketplace for affordable quality art? It seems like this needs to be both a “must have” product for the artists and the buyers, right? Do you find it harder to work in this type of space since you’re satisfying 2 large parties rather than just 1?
