> I’m trying [...] to save life and property from severe events at scale
replyTell me you work in Silicon Valley without telling me you work in silicon Valley.
Sorry but I couldn't resist. There is something in US startup mentality where you can't just "create an app and make a living", you have to be on a grand mission to save the world. That may be normal out there, but for the rest of the world it just seems... Get back to earth man :-)
Sure, most of us are doing nothing to help people and are using grandiose language to describe reticulating splines. I don’t think that applies to good weather apps though, a lot of people do die because they are unaware of weather events. I would be very unsurprised to learn that any major weather app has directly saved lives. The U.S is a very… weatherful place.
replyPeople do die due to weather events. But attributing their death to bad weather apps is pretty wild.
replyI didn’t say that.
replyIt‘s exactly the kind of words that venture capital wants to here.
