>>>Sramana Mitra: Let me ask you an interesting question. We have companies like this in our portfolio—really interesting, exciting companies. There is a question these companies have to answer: which go-to-market strategy, which business model do they go with? Do they sell software to clients, or do they sell services to end customers? Because in many cases, they could do either.

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 – Hidden Impressions VI
