Less is More (continued)

Mark, the middle school principal at Little Red Elizabeth Irwin (LREI,) gave a very short talk this morning but it included a great quote that sums up the "Small is the new Big" and "Less is More" ideaviruses that we've all be blogging about.

I wrote it down so I could share it with all of you.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people
can change the world: indeed it's the only thing that ever has!"
                        -- anthropologist Margaret Meade

Amen

as ronald reagan said, well there you go again.

sure sure, every 1,000 mile jounrey begins with a single step. but do you encourage your portfolio companies to think small? have you told your LPs that a 1X return is the new ideal? how about "metcalfe's law"? is that no longer applicable?

size matters. david can still slay goliath -- maybe only david can slay goliath -- but goliath dominates and rules and is getting bigger and stronger and david is ill advised to pretend otherwise, no matter how amusing

Does that mean Tony and I have hope?
