** @jpmorgan TIP **
Find the organization that is doing great work in the community (like @lightshipfound ) vs paying TechStars to care about a community.
Why? Because when you stop paying them they leave. They don’t care, they never did.

Dr. Claudine Gay's resignation from Harvard affected me deeply. It hit me doubly on the back of the emotional interviews from Taraji and I was driven to write it out. This one is a little...raw. #taraji #ClaudineGay #harvard #blackgirlbossparadox

People are lousy at predicting what they'll do in the future.
Want proof? Just ask Sony...
In the 90s, Sony held a focus group and asked teenagers how they felt about Sony's new yellow Walkman.
The teens loved it.
At the end of the day, the teens were given a free Walkman as a gift for participating in the focus group.
They didn't know it... but *this* was the real test (not the focus group itself).
The teenagers had a choice: a black Walkman or a yellow one.
The major chose the black one—not the yellow one they said they LOVED.
The lesson?
Don't just ask people what they *think* they might do.
Talk to buyers and explore what they *actually* do. Ask them *why* they did it. Dig in to understand the hidden reasons why people buy.
You'll learn much more this way.
Do you agree?
