@bpiatt @JungleDisk @sa_works @SAISDFoundation @VoteViagran @VoteCalvert That’s really cool. What a great opportunity for all involved

@mgirdley @srikams @SujaKamma Founders must disclose their SimCity data in at least one slide of the pitch deck!

[Samar K. Shah @samarkshah]

@srikams @SujaKamma Fascinating. Golf-land represents an insane potion of American land use. I bet most of it is govt owned and maintained. Who the hell is servicing these courses

[Samar K. Shah @samarkshah]

Thanks to @3DayStartup for inviting me to speak. The #3DSGlobalRoundup is one of the best startup weekend events in the country. Please check them out if you are interested in entrepreneurship, or even curious about it. #Entrepreneurship

Samar Shah helping us understand what patents are good for in early-stage startups! #3DSGlobalRoundup #entrepreneurship

[Samar K. Shah @samarkshah]

For some early stage investors, patents are a positive signal (idea protectable, cap on downside risk). For others investors, patents are a negative signal (founders not focused on executing, and high costs). Knowing who you are talking to is *very* important

Foxconn transfers former Sharp patents to Texas-based NPE. https://t.co/eUU145zETY

[Samar K. Shah @samarkshah]

@mgirdley Also an indication of how technology is normalizing the concept of “remote” work. Everyone I meet assumes (rightly) that I work with clients in larger centers, but no one finds it odd, or questions whether it’s even possible.

[Hadley Harris @Hadley]

I would not be surprised if seed stage valuations are more closely correlated with geography than traction.

[Samar K. Shah @samarkshah]

@DLInnocenti Of course! No discussion of the SA tech scene would be complete without mentioning you and David!

[Samar K. Shah @samarkshah]

I see it play out this way quite often. Patents are critical in some sectors—but certainly not all https://t.co/iJedzh3Frt

[minal hasan @minal_hasan]

maybe not, but easier to acquire you. or google's competitor buys you instead, & they have the $ to fight. Invest in solid patents! 3/3

[minal hasan @minal_hasan]

sure, always the david v goliath issue. even if, say, google, violated ur patent, would you have the $ to fight? 2/3

[minal hasan @minal_hasan]

advising portfolio co on LOI from possible acquiror. i can't overstate importance of airtight patents. increased offer price by 2x. 1/3
