Dig the concept. Very cool

Thanks. Yeah, I totally get it. Makes sense all the way.

Cool. So you'd be interested in being an agent. Can you expand on your ideal user experience?

Cool, thank you!

Awesome, thanks!

Nice, glad to hear and thanks for the feedback. I agree clearly communicating the value of your unique skill set is key. Any other ideas please keep them coming

That's a no brainer. Hookers and cocaine. That's what I'd do as CEO of Dropbox.

Running a company at that size becomes very difficult, and lonely, when you're at the top. You have to assume there are many factors which will never be shared publicly. Until you're that person, it's a bad decision to judge.

Unfortunately most people have never been in that position and hence don't have the perspective to understand, which is why they immediately jump to their own fear-based conclusions of self-interest.

One might assume the amount of data involved, and multi-national interest in security, may induce the necessity to seek assistance from someone who has previously navigated those waters --- regardless of previous behavior.

The Chicago Cubs may be the worst baseball franchise in history, but if I'm getting into owning a major league team and the Wrigley Family has relationships and experience ---- it would be tremendously beneficial to have them on board -- even if they haven't won a World Series in over 100 years and make decisions I don't support.

My guess is they just need help navigating the insanely complex global landscape with the assistance of someone with experience and relationships.

Drew is a smart person who's done a great job building his company. Think that's going to change now? Not a chance. There are bigger forces at play here we'll never understand. Speculation, including mine, is futile.

To summarize, hookers and cocaine. That's what I'd do as CEO of Dropbox. ;)

Nice. This is really interesting. I was thinking we could somewhat automate the agent process but perhaps we allow recruiters to sign up and represent you for a revenue share. Interesting.

Cool glad to hear. Matching functionality / process will be very important, agreed.

Yeah, working on that feedback/validation as well. Typically larger companies lack innovation and are encouraged to hire entrepreneurs. Especially if you've proven yourself, and can show what you've done --- it eliminates a lot of uncertainty and validates your worth. But even if you haven't, if you can show what you're working on, and your skill set --- it's a big plus. I'd personally like to hire from this pool.

Again though, do need to validate from the other end and working on it.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a marketplace exclusively for entrepreneurs, where you'd create say offers or packages which employers can purchase, and on our end we'd go out and ultimately serve as your recruiter and find you work that fits in your schedule.

The issue is that founders don't have time to look for work and browse job descriptions, or interview --- so we'd need to make it clear that you have x amount of availability, you're being hired remotely, and at a rate you specify.

For employers, entrepreneurs typically have highly desirable skill sets --- even with limited availability and performing remote work.

Thoughts?
