Is it me, or does it feel like many entrepreneurial discussions today aren’t about new ideas, but are about the “meta” stuff (processes, methods, groups, etc.) around entrepreneurship? Everyone seems to be talking about seed stage funds, how to get funding, how to start companies, the latest Y-combinator clone, organizing meetups, incubators/hatcheries, etc.
To use an analogy I saw fly by somewhere (and can’t fully credit, sorry): it seems like the action has moved from making money on foreclosures, to infomercials and books about making money on foreclosures.
Are ideas so plentiful they’re not the focus anymore?
Am I hanging out with the wrong crowd?
