Why design first (solution looking for problem)?
Current aircrafts have evolved into their current shape from restrictions and capabilities of combustion & jet engines.
I was wondering if there is any good SaaS/web-apps for private investors for assets & liabilities tracking?With a rather big portfolio of non-listed and listed equity it's a full-time job to keep track of it (especially with investments in different markets & different currencies)...
Choosing the right macro is easier then spending 3 years on the wrong macro, especially building up an organization depending on the next round of VC, which I did, realized and tried changing industry (from it-startups to commodity trading, yes I'm in China and happened to meet alot of powerful people while fund-raising asking me for iron ore, crude, just because I look like a foreigner, etc.). It got me off my field for a year, very educational though, did not need to raise more VC for my company and sitting on these buyer requests gave me reasons to climb higher in my social network and I ended up in Libya with the sons of the leader doing one deal, made about that amount.
However now I'm back working on what I'm good at, what I can control, tech-startups, I've had the time and money possibility to take as much time off and do what I want, I decided to study and become very good at php/mysql. Commodity trading depends too much on other people (closing is like winning the lottery).
So I guess, you also have to be lucky!
