Read Zero Knowledge As I Write It

|
By Brad Feld
| Feld Thoughts Verified
Last week I wrote about starting a novel. I ended that post stuck on a decision: publish the whole thing in the open as I write it, or do the normal thing and wait until it’s finished. I decided to write in the open. That’s my nature. Zero Knowledge now has a home at zeroknowledge.ink. Six chapters are up. More land as I write them. It’s free to read. You can also write back. I’m going to integrate all of this into AuthorMagic for anyone who wants to write a book this way.

RIP Josh Baer

I found out this morning that Josh Baer died last night. He was on a small plane heading back to Austin from Cabo. It had mechanical trouble and went down near Laredo, on a highway, a couple of miles short of the runway. Five other people on board survived. Josh did not. He was 50. I’ve been sad all morning. One way I deal with being sad is to hide in my computer, which is mostly what I’ve been doing today.

I first wrote about the Rule of 40 in 2015. I’d heard a late-stage investor describe it at a board meeting - growth rate plus profit should add up to at least 40% - and the simplicity stuck with me. So I blogged about it. Fred Wilson was at the same board meeting and posted his own version a few days later. Between the two posts, the Rule of 40 spread. It’s now gospel in SaaS. I still like it.
