I build profit and then equity value in businesses that have made it through the Startup Curve (mostly $2-$20M annual revenue).

Sometimes I do this as a founder. As a JV Partner. As a business advisor. Or as a seed investor.

See jacobaldridge.com or @jacobaldridge on Twitter. I'm based in Brisbane, Australia.

I remember when Sriracha disappeared from the market for a while (2022?).

The story I heard at the time was heavily positive, talking up the handshakes and relationship angle - suggesting the supplier had a bad harvest (drought) so the manufacturer had decided not to produce sauce rather than produce an inferior product.

Either rumours or more lies - and a good way to help the market forget the earlier flavour and be grateful for a sloppier solution to 'return'?

As the aphorism goes, there are Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics.

I don’t know if there’s an xkcd for this, but there’s certainly an SMBC - https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-02-17

I don’t think I’ve ever finished Doom, and I mostly played it on other people’s PCs when I was in high school. Perhaps I’ll add that to my future retirement goals.
