influencer culture

Founding influencer is now on par with founding engineer. An influencer with an organic community can identify a problem, pair with a technologist, crowdfund a solution, and continuously communicate progress along the way. The community derisks the process of market discovery.

@sarahfrier: Every industry is going through this. It's the influencer economy. How much does an employer let their employee be a star in their own right? How much of that financial success or audience should the employer own or manage? https://t.co/k3gOShlXfL
