Colors: Le Chemin Rouge IV

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Le Chemin Rouge IV

Sramana Mitra: This is also very interesting from a technology entrepreneur’s point of view. Let’s say you focus on one of these specific use cases and you want to build a full-stack product to bring to market. That is a very dangerous path because it’s very expensive.

Very often, the people who have the technical expertise don’t have the B2C marketing expertise. Going with the credibility and the existing brand and feeding your technology expertise into the hands of people who do have that marketing expertise and brand presence is a very interesting way to go to market.
