Thank you for sharing your expertise and insight. It is tremendously appreciated. Timing and innovation are definitely key. Sometimes getting your foot through the crack in the door is the most difficult step of all. On a completely different note, I will possibly be visiting some of our customers in your vicinity and wanted a recommendation and / or shameless plug for you favorite local pizza joint. Look forward to more of your future posts.

Thanks Ryan and Will. Timing is especially important in the start-up. Here’s hoping we got things right.

Mark,

This is a perfectly timed post. In my Entrepreneurial Marketing class our discussion topic was “What is your viewpoint on whether innovation is more likely to occur in large or small companies? Are certain types of innovations more likely in large or small companies?” I referenced this post in my response to the class and directed everyone to this blog as I think it greatly relates to our discussion. I personally wasn’t aware of the “Make Versus Buy” test that larger companies go through prior to reading this, so it was really beneficial to get that insight.

Thanks.
