To what extent does nader’s leadership embody the Stockton paradox? Is he too optimistic? While he makes plenty of mistakes, the relentless eye on end goal is paramount for great startup leaders.
You all don’t know I’m a prominent inventor been at a prominent tech company for 16 years as they built upon technology in my 1999 dissertation and startup toward one of the most successful products and technologies in history.
Yet during the 2005 acquisition they blithely dropped my original customers, products and vision in favor of more consumer focused products. And through groupthink and NIH dismissed key aspects of my original inventions for 15 years, past patent expiry. The most intricate aspects I built as a lone grad student in 2 years became harder and harder to reconstruct in the bloating software stack. Years of complaining they didn’t get it, weren’t implementing properly, their vaunted designers had no clue in this realm...
Just before the pandemic I went on a little strike, resigned from managing a large team and set out to focus and rebuild the vision 3rd time in fresh language. Last summer there was finally a clamoring for progress in this area from top of company. In a year of solitude I’ve rebuilt and proven how these things should have been done last decade, and finally opened VP eyes to a whole new range of product possibilities. After more than a decade of being written off as a crank in this area, even as they made a killing with my simpler implementations. Biotech is not the only place innovations can get lost for 20 years!
In 2007 just two years into the acquisition I came home distraught that the product vision with which I saved my own Heath and career was lost, and my mother had a poetry book laid out on the kitchen table to Kipling’s IF:
“If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
...
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
“
My mom died of ovarian cancer metastases to liver 2 years later.
Do you think I have any fucking trouble holding onto my Cytodyn shares? Longer than ever. Eat shit and die shorts. Onward and upwards, comrades!
