It's Not Just Like That
About Theranos
About WeWork
Recently there are several new TV series about tech startups, entrepreneurs, and especially Silicon Valley.
They all come with a lot of humors, and rumors. Sometimes they make certain moments and decisions look extremely ironic.
Somehow I’m a bit worried if all those ironies may be added up to very wrong public perceptions about the culture of tech companies / startups, the real meaning of innovation, and the dare-to-lose entrepreneurship spirit.
Of course, I’m not defending any bad behaviours and events highlighted in those TV series but I hope the audience won’t conclude that Silicon Valley is just all like that.
“Make the world a better place tomorrow” shouldn’t be a slogan or a dream. It can be real, but it won’t come easily.
