The Four Stages of Disruption by @stevesi

Pretty handy snippet.

“Productivity tools such as Quip, Box, Haiku Deck, Lucidchart, and more are being pulled by customers beyond early adopters to be compatible with existing tools and usage patterns. In practice, these tools are currently iterating very rapidly along their self-defined disruptive path. Some might suggest that previous disruptors in the space (OpenOffice, Zoho, perhaps even Google Docs) chose to converge with the existing market too soon, as a strategic misstep.”

Maybe Prezi should be on that list too. Never spent a dime of their venture money I’m told. We’re cheap and organic and now have millions of users, many premium.
