I was a senior exec at a major software company back when that was the deal. We went from $500k in revenue the first year to $500 millions four years later. Around the third year the Board started bringing in all these Harvard and McKinsey guys. The smartest, most effective guy in the place-hire number 7 with tons of founders stock-‘only’ had a (wait for it) certificate from a community college in Louisiana. He had the drawl, the oh-shucks manner and everything. I loved watching guys underestimate him while he picked their pockets.

Thus endith my off topic contribution for the day.
