Question 6: Should the founders keep the money or return it, as Maris has stated they should, according to a post on The New York Times “Bits” blog? Would the venture firms have given the founders a bonus comparable to the amount of their cash-out if, in lieu of failing, the company had grown exponentially instead, with through-the-roof valuations that let the VCs make a killing? If not, why should the founders return their money?Question 7: Will the founders use that money to launch something new? The second time around, the founders would have the benefit of the greatest teacher of all — experience — to remind them of just what a recipe for disaster early VCs can be.
質問6:ニューヨーク タイムズの“Bits"のブログの投稿によりますと、マリスは返すべきだと言っているのですが、お金を拾った者はもらっても良いのか其れとも返すべきでしょうか?ベンチャー企業は、失敗するどころかVCs に株の急騰で大もうけをさせておいて、その創業者に売上高量に匹敵するボーナスをあげるだろうか?でないとしても,創業者はお金を返さなければいけないのか?質問7:創業者はそのお金を何か新しい事を立ち上げるのに使うでしょうか?二度目の機会には、創業者はVCs起こりうる起こりうる惨事を前もってこころに留めー経験ーと言う最大の教訓の恩恵を利用するのです..
TakeawaysWe can learn several lessons from the rise and fall of Secret:Lesson 1: When it comes to investing, there is no crystal ball. As a rule, venture capital firms have followed their unwritten rule of “investing within” — or throwing money at an entrepreneur based on a known connection to the firm — and that unwritten rule has become a tradition. Clearly, Secret has proven the traditional method wrong.
持ち帰り私達は成功と失敗のSecret幾らかの教訓を得る:教訓1:投資と言う事になれば、秘訣は何もない.原則として,投資会社は”可能な範囲内で投資をする”そうでなければ会社関係の起業家にお金を上げてしまう、と言う暗黙の規則に従つて来て其れは伝統となっている.明らかに、Secretは伝統的なやり方が間違っている事を証明した.
