BRYCE DOT VC: The World is Your Parking Lot:

In 1964 Phil Knight started selling shoes from the trunk of his car at local track meets. Each sale was to an individual. Each individual had a chance to engage with the man behind the brand, to hold the shoes in their hands, to ask questions and to transact right there in the parking lot.

That…

What a great “get you thinking” piece. I agree that a return to the parking lot is a trend with legs the next few years. Consumer interaction is key and Nike is damn good! I am wearing my fuel band and love it. My nephew (17) and his track team were flown to Eugene Oregon and given custom Nike uniforms and gear specifically incorporating their highschool colors. That is an experience you won’t forget!

“The success rate of a first-time venture-backed entrepreneur is about 18%. If that entrepreneur fails and tries again with another company, their success rate only improves to 20%. Not much. BUT, if that entrepreneur succeeds in their first company, their success rate for their second venture goes up to 30% — over a 65% improvement in expected outcome.”

Patents were designed to protect the innovator. The idea was if you built something special that you would have the ability to protect that right.
