Session: The Wisdom of Entering a Crowded Market
There is a tendency in startups to target unserved markets or areas with revolutionary approaches. Henry Ford, afterall, didn't build a better buggy, he built a car.

This talk will discuss our approach to building yet another storage startup and how we thought about the paradox of the crowded market.
