A New Term For Value Investing
from the hungry-for-success dept
People have been talking about the digital divide a lot recently, some believe this issue will be solved with more inclusive recruitment policies. I tend to be skeptical of these policies because underprivileged minorities may lack relevant work experience putting them at a serious disadvantage with start-ups that don't have the time to train employees. One entrepreneur has found a way of bridging the digital divide and profiting at the same time by working with underprivileged minorities and unleashing their raw urge to achieve. He may have just developed a great ethical business.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: People skills are important
I totally understand why soft skills are important, I'm involved with business development and in this type of job you need to be finely tuned to the feelings of others to try to put together deals (it's surprising how few people can truly understand a person well enough to ensure good deal making).
