AwesomeBox : AwesomeBox is currently in stealth mode so I’ll respect that. They have developed a cloud-based platform for merchants to publish to multiple distribution networks, including social, mobile and email.

Ideally each portfolio company would also report their own data to the data-trackers (except when they’re in stealth), but not all of them are diligent. This is roughly comparable to PRNewswire’s distribution service. HOF has to do this manually today with regard to our own investments into each company.

We all know who won back then - Apple had the best damn product but Microsoft had more distribution. I just made an investment in a stealth company that solves this problem for Android. I am not saying it will play out the same way but looking at the early numbers it is pretty clear that the Android OS will eventually be in more hands.

There are a ton of synergies here.

As in all things startup-related, the distributions are not even. Also not surprisingly, many are in California (26%). But 22% of the startups founded by HBS alums are outside North America, with some ending up very dominant in their home markets. The companies most successful at fundraising have raised orders of magnitude more than the rest.

It’s a massive distribution advantage. But once we got out of stealth, it actually didn’t make sense to be quiet afterwards. SR: I mean, I do think this is something founders have to take very seriously: that a feature you do or a whole company that you have, as in the case of Clubhouse, becomes a feature of an existing product.
