P.K. Mishra (Fingertips Lab founder) — 'In 10 years, he NOT ONCE contacted me about his money'

P.K. Mishra — founder of Fingertips Lab, the consumer-hardware startup for the blind that Eric backed at the seed stage when no one else would — posts a ten-year retrospective and Amazon review of Incorruptible, leading with the fact that in a decade Eric never once asked about his money.

“10 years ago, Eric Ries made a sizable angel investment in my hardware startup for the blind, when everyone told me he only does SaaS. … He knew the odds. Launching a consumer hardware startup in the Valley is like betting on a single gazelle to outrun every predator in the Serengeti. Long odds. Yet he did it. … In 10 years, he NOT ONCE contacted me about his money. So you need to know this one thing about him: … He's fundamentally a GOOD HUMAN BEING. Congratulations on the book INCORRUPTIBLE!” — P.K. Mishra on LinkedIn
