Says it well. Sorry that this thread upsets developers, but you also
have to be businessmen. One of the things I learned from Yuri Rubinsky
by observation was the outcome of failing to understand that great ideas
and mediocre products and a mediocre business strategy are not enough,
but mediocre ideas and mediocre products and a great business strategy are.
Sad but so: when facing investors, only money matters.
