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.
