某人说我还是写写时评比较好。
最近几天硅谷就跟疯了一样。从Jason Calacanis写了篇Startup Depression发到他的mailist开始,大家手头就开始紧了。San Francisco的VC们都不招人手了,说是要等这个过去。Sequoia就更扯了,叫了100多个CEO去Sand Hill Road开会,给大家说这不是V字型反弹,要15到17年,最后还叫大家:1.裁员;2.裁员;3.裁员。Michael Arrington也跟疯了一样,一群小孩在西海岸租个房子度假顺带拍了一部好玩的lipsync的视频他都上纲上线说这些孩子真是树巢里面的斑鸠,不知道四季春秋。大家都风声鹤唳的,我CrunchBase里面的公司名录都要删掉一大半了,你们还有心情玩。然后一群时评家都开始来炒作并购,一会说RIM要被MS收购了,一会说Twitter要倒闭了。还没到高潮,就先自High得不知所以了。还有一堆人又在叫,大家快在医疗教育领域搞创新吧,这能拯救国家,俨然一副忧国忧民的样子。
根据写作课的要求,上面的warrant写完了。想不通大家最近这么炒作是给别人看呢还是真忧心忡忡。从去年开始,不少VC都筹备过冬了。去年不少人的BLOG都已经开始提及Great Depression了,连我这样不甚敏感的人都提了三四次。现在第一个高潮才刚刚来,后面的一浪接一浪的高潮还没到呢,大家就已经开始Early Ejaculation了。恐怕都是想早点交完功课好睡觉,谁知道人人都是一副欲求不满的样子,没办法,继续做吧。
裁员是必要的,节省开支也是必要的。大部分公司,有1M其实就能挨过一两年,情况没想象的那么糟。然而,手头还没钱的人们,还是赶快打听打听哪的Graduate School还有奖学金发现在比较重要。
