The future of massive theme parks is super interesting when VR, AR and other tech can be utilized at scale. Theme parks are making tons of money but they still rely some very old fashioned ways of entertainment. I mean, for Universal in Orlando, it seems, 3D coasters are the creme de la creme.

Or what do you think, where’s the future of the biggest theme parks?

That’s a good question. Then again, it seems that for some people tinkering serves more as a hobby that they just like doing.

By tinkering and customizing you might gain a productive work environment but the way I see it is that some people just want to tinker because it makes them happy. The ’increased productivity’ seems to be more of a way to rationalize it to oneself.

While blaming others for it, aren’t you providing a pretty strong anecdotal opinion yourself?

Some people prefer Windows, some Linux and some MacOS. These days you can get work done with all of the most popular OSes without losing a lot in productivity. Beyond that it’s just a matter of preference.

Personally I have opted for Apple ecosystem but can’t really argue it being universally better than others. But then again, dont really feel the need to make that claim either. Just use the software and hardware you are most happy & efficient with.

Thanks for the comments and questions.

Our thinking follows, what we call a ‘venture client’ approach, through which startups get a valuable asset, a globally operating reference customer, without a hassle. For instance, we use an expedited procurement process and leaner legal approach in POs. The industrial companies, on the other hand, get to apply new technologies and talent quicker in building new services, solutions and products that can add value to their customers or other stakeholders.

Venture Client approach also means, that when announce a business opportunity, we also make sure there’s significant need from the company, budget to make purchase order (revenue for the startup) and team in place to act fast given there’s a solid applicable solution. Venture Client also means that the industrial company understands there’s associated risk in building something new with startups - but also major upsides in time-to-value if done succesfully.

So far our approach has been warmly welcomed by startups and investors. We aim to keep it simple, fast and fair. We have plenty of references which we are adding to our website, some you can already access on our site.

Needless to say, this might not be of interest to all entrepreneurs or startups but there might be plenty of those who could benefit from the approach.
