Synchrony and I both have our eyes set on the future of business, which is why I love doing early stage venture with initialized--it gives me a front row seat to the future. #BusinessSchooled gave me a chance to take a look at how much the great businesses started in just the last decade echo the ones started a generation before. Helen Lo of loandsons kept it 💯 and I loved it: "If there’s no market for it, you’re bound to fail no matter how hard you work." She's right. And as quickly as the business world is evolving, if you're not leading the way or fast-following, you're going to be left behind by the market, quicker than ever.
