Today is National Innovation Day (thank you The Content Architects).

6 months ago yesterday I chose to set out on my own journey and see what I could do differently.

To innovate you need to have the freedom to see clearly the space you are targeting. It's hard to do that when embedded in a system.

My starting insights were:

All markets get more competitive over time.
They tend to fewer large players and niche smaller players.
Venture has a lot of players and that will change in the same way.
Those that are left behind will get the deal flow others don't want.
If you're not a large player or a niche smaller player you better know how to get there or you won't exist in ten years.
How do I become one of the above?

This is the first in an occasional series of why unbundled vc and why I have made the decisions I made.
