Consider how much time certain founders spend at networking conferences telling stories about things that are extremely tangential to the actual technical advantages that help businesses compete. Then study how successful they are compared to those who don't.

My point here is that a lot of businesses secure funding and clients through "qualitative" means (WeWork) rather than through technical means (AMD)
