Start-Agains Instead Of Start-Ups
from the one-way-to-do-things dept
I know a number of people who have started multiple companies with the same exact crew of people. It seems that it's a growing trend for a group of people who have worked together to band together and start new companies. The team is already comfortable with each other, and they know what to expect of each other. They're able to get moving much more quickly and better use each other's skills. Investors like it, too, since they know that the team has the ability to succeed.
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.
–The Techdirt Team

Losers?

no, learning by doing
hence if you ve tried and failed you stand a better chance not to fail again
of course after 4 or 5 straight failures i d suggest to give up, but generally start-agains don t seem to me such a crazy idea
even failures can build value. Failures occur when assets are worth less than liabilities, but there might be hidden value in personal experiences and knowledge, especially in such a downturn where intsngible assets are not valued at all

Fighting
Yikes! I sure wouldn't want to work in an environment like that... It's my experience that if there is a lot of fighting going on, the office politics get so involved that most of your time is spent "politicking" and not actually doing work.
