forced to profile a company not remotely linked to big data… c’mon, I have other interests too!
it is refreshing to see a startup (a consumer market startup) being interested in both – (a) having paying customers as well as (b) catering to the booming market of adventure gamers in Scandinavia and Germany (BIG markets that I thought had death rates higher than birth rates ...but, I was told, love adventure gaming…and yes have credit cards…and long winters…I guess it does make sense)
the fact that one of the founders is an ex-consultant who understands ‘game changing’, ‘paradigm shifting’ and other similar sounding BS is a big reason for that focus.
i like people who tell it the way it is as they are rare…and so I wish him and tell tale games the best…
given the sheer entertainment value he moves around with, he should be on every SFO must do list to invite for any potentially boring dinner conversation (consultants take note)… couched in that humor is the truth about consultants every consultant (current or ex) would like to say… but is forced not to as it would be heresy in their hickey freeman suits and hermes ties…
thank you for that refreshing dose of reality andre…now go fucking put some games on the iPhone!
as for the title of the post…you see this unfolded over a 3 hour dinner at DOSA…a restaurant that is the way restaurants serving Indian food should be
