Kawasaki: “As a venture capitalist, I have to listen to hundreds of entrepreneurs
pitch their companies. Most of these pitches are crap: sixty slides
about a “patent pending,” “first mover advantage,” “all we have to do
is get 1% of the people in China to buy our product” startup. These
pitches are so lousy that I’m losing my hearing, there’s a constant
ringing in my ear, and every once in while the world starts spinning.”
