Mulțumesc mult!

Simona:

I found a link to a transcript of the talk. You would have to compare the transcript to the audio in its entirety. I think some things are left out of the transcript. But be it as it may, the part which is important to you appears to be there:


5.50 - 5.55
... ... know the story about Sergey Brin and Larry Page? They pitched 350 times before they got funding for Google.


https://steemit.com/innovation/@tinc/my-innovation-fantasy
.... I kept saying the wrong things - questioning what my teachers and peers thought was obvious. Being a source of disruption, my mother was so frequently called to school, some of the teachers were sure she was on staff.
Soon enough I learned to recognize when I was about to ask or say something that would get me into trouble.
I still did it.
I wasn’t brave.
I just couldn’t resist.
***They say, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, pitched 350 times before they got funding for Google.***
It’s not a story of entrepreneurial tenacity. It’s a story of investors rejecting them 349 times. Every investor will tell you - they always look for a team they can trust. What Brin and Page offered was so new, the investors had to reject it, reject them.
Why didn’t they just give up?
A few years ago, while I was bootstrapping a tech startup, a friend asked me how I was doing, and I said: “I feel like I swam into the ocean and I can’t see the shore anymore”
So, he said - “that sounds awful”
I was really surprised.
“no, no, you don’t understand - it’s fine - I mean that there’s no point going back - what if the other end is closer”.
Again, I wasn’t being brave.
I was unaware of the risk.
