"A startup is like a mosquito. A bear can absorb a hit and a crab is armored against one, but a mosquito is designed for one thing: to score. No energy is wasted on defense. The defense of mosquitos, as a species, is that there are a lot of them, but this is little consolation to the individual mosquito."

every now and again i meet a special entrepreneur. someone who has built a solution to a personal problem. someone who can crisply and articulately describe his or her company’s distinctive value proposition. someone who is driven to make an impact on the world. 

the exhilaration of such a meeting is intoxicating. i have been fortunate to experience that a few times in my life.

one of those meetings took place this week, and the adrenaline is still coursing through my veins. 

no greater feeling.
