Yeh I get the author’s point about choosing a tight niche. In my years I’ve seen many vapid, generic product fails.

Would like a few more specific data-backed examples.

Thanks for the article. I simply disagree that racism is should be defined in terms of historical power structures as the article suggests. Racism - or discrimination on the basis of race - is repellent to me in any form.

Simply put, I don’t want to treat anyone differently on the basis of their skin colour.

“If you're not a white male, I will reduce my equity stake considerably”

Racism, in whatever form, is distasteful.

Interesting comment.

Would you explain a little more about what you mean by “diversified parts of it” in “you naturally orient to getting exposure to opportunity for diversified parts of it, but when you have a scarcity view, your decisions are necessarily all/nothing”?
