2011 Competition Customer Writing 
Both Sides of the Table
SEPTEMBER 10, 2021
I’m over-paying for every check I write into the VC ecosystem and valuations are being pushed up to absurd levels and many of these valuations and companies won’t hold in the long term. The market today would barely be recognizable by a time traveler from 2011. Are we in a bubble?” By definition?—?I’m dot-com bonanza.

I will write more about this in the next 2 weeks. But when it’s all over and they define the era of this mini run up in stock prices I suspect they’ll include 2011 in the “over valued&# category. customers who paid for services often get burned.

aka: An Open Letter to the Next Big Social Network) - 500 Hats , November 1, 2010 I've held off writing this post for a long time, because I couldn't quite get my head around all the issues.
