When does drive become delusion? I have followed Elizabeth Holmes for years and always believed in her and her mission (check out my stories). Am I wrong in doing so? I’m currently halfway through this HBO documentary entitled The Inventor: Out For Blood in Silicon Valley and haven’t changed my mind yet. Yes, there were absolutely flaws and the product wasn’t ready for market but was she really delusional? Did she really, purposefully, lie to the world? I’m not sure... What do you think? Blurb about the film: In 2004, Elizabeth Holmes dropped out of Stanford to start a company that was going to revolutionize healthcare. In 2014, Theranos was valued at $9 billion, making Holmes, who was touted as “the next Steve Jobs,” the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world. Just two years later, Theranos was cited as a “massive fraud” by the SEC, and its value was less than zero. Drawing on extraordinary access to never-before-seen footage and testimony from key insiders, director Alex Gibney will tell a Silicon Valley tale that was too good to be true. With all the drama of a real-life heist film, the documentary will examine how this could have happened and who is responsible, while exploring the psychology of deception. #startup #innovation #entrepreneurship #founder …see more

Huawei has drawn its share of controversies — as has its role with 5G. Paul Scanlan, Huawei’s CTO, delved into both subjects, noting to me that 5G has been deployed rapidly in China, but faces challenges elsewhere. It’s a conversation that touched on promising 5G use cases in and out of China, its most underestimated benefit, the role of AI and data in reaching its fullest potential and the importance of trust in scaling it. …see more

"Someone had told me that if you ever want to be acquired by a company, become a thorn in their side and they’ll buy you just to get rid of you. We actually became more like a dagger."

The goal of media is to be seen by the biggest (fill in your success metric here) audience, and the news business has always been editorialized (rigged, if you will) to benefit the publisher. Think about this...

"I had made it very clear that if they move the price by a penny, I won’t do it. This was a showstopper for me. So I told them to get on the phone to their CEO and sort this out. We walked out of the office and left them in there and I could hear heated conversations in Dutch. Then they called me back in and said, “We’ve spoken to Max and he agrees that it’s a showstopper. If you don’t agree to it, we’ll stop the show.” I said, “OK, great. See you later. There’s the door.” Duane Jackson on turning down one of several multi-million pound offers to buy his company. https://lnkd.in/dznEZVm #founder #startup #entrepreneur …see more

"I liken it (Silicon Valley) to a modern day Florence during the Medici period. People are going to look back on Silicon Valley and say more things got created in a shorter period of time than any other time in history."

"This idea that Google is going to steal your idea or your idea is so amazing that you’re going to get ripped off — I’ve just never ever seen it happen. Nobody has ever had an amazing idea and said it to the wrong person and the wrong person has gone off and built a billion dollar business. It just doesn’t happen. It doesn’t exist, yet there are millions of people with ideas that aren’t going to go anywhere because they are too afraid to talk about it."
