Start9 seems highly principled as a company. Can you speak to the advantages and disadvantages of running a company this way?
Nothing but advantages in every way that really matters. As an individual, I operate from 1st principles and hold integrity as the top virtue. You can "get away" with things in the world, but you can never get away from yourself. Every day is judgement day when it comes to your own conscience and self-esteem. I build Start9 according to the same principle. Sure, we forego some short term opportunities to grow faster or gauge harder, but our primary goal is to create a more free and independent world for future generations, for my daughter and other future children. Only secondarily do we consider the business angle. We wan to make money and lots of it, of course, but only secondarily to building a great product that improves the lives of those who use it and society as a whole.
