两周前，我与一位熟人分享了我“最有趣”的创业想法（一个我称之为“GroundFruit”的、以观点为导向、低摩擦的协作平台）。几天之内，他就告诉了他的朋友，几天后又告诉了一位投资者——未经我的允许，我毫不知情。我感到震惊，并打算在第二天我们约定的会面中解决这个问题，但他爽约了，此后搬到了科罗拉多州“处理一些事情”。讽刺的是（如果真是我想的那样），他的目标受众将是我们，也就是创业者。这还是我第一次遇到这种情况，这让我开始思考地点和文化是如何影响协作的。在我住过的大多数城市（旧金山、洛杉矶），每个人都在构建“下一个伟大的事物”。这里（佛罗里达）的动态和文化有所不同。地点、当地人口结构和文化是否影响了你协作的方式（以及是否协作）？执行力是关键，想法的相似性也很常见，但一些概念代表了在问题领域中多年的“搜索时间”。见解就像私钥：很容易传递，但很难推导。认为想法“不重要”的观点似乎有点轻率，而且只在某种程度上是正确的。我运营过大型创业者团体，所以有过很多对话，但我仍然想知道我对这件事的看法是否天真。如果你有机会投资于一位有“未经许可”盗用他人想法行为的创始人，你会吗？你会和他们一起工作吗？对我来说，这几乎肯定会是决定性的因素，但我很想听听大家的想法。

Two weeks ago I shared my ‘most interesting’ startup idea (an opinionated, low-friction collaboration platform I call ‘GroundFruit’) with an acquaintance. Within days he'd told a friend, then a few days later an investor - without my permission or knowledge. I was shocked and intended to address it the following day when we were set to meet but he flaked and has since moved to Colorado to "work on some things."<p>The irony here (if it’s what I think) is that his target audience will be us, founders. This hasn’t happened to me before and it got me thinking about how location and culture affect collaboration. In most cities I've lived (SF, LA) everyone was already building The Next Big Thing. The dynamics and culture here (Florida) are different.<p>Have place, local demographics and culture affected how (and if) you collaborate? Execution is king and idea similarity is really common but some concepts represent years of ‘search time’ in a problem space. Insights can be like a private key: trivial to transmit but hard to derive. The belief ideas “don’t matter” seems a little glib and only mostly true.<p>I’ve run large founder groups so I’ve had plenty of conversations but I’m still wondering if my views on this are naive. if you had the chance to invest in a founder with a pattern of running, ‘permissionless’, with the ideas of others', would you? Would you work with them? It would almost certainly be a deal-breaker for me but I’d love to hear what people think.
