Ok this was a great read. I particularly loved the following snippet:

If you want to find slingshots, look through the set of companies that seemed exciting because of the ideas and the founders that then seemingly vanished…but didn’t actually die. You have to look for companies that didn’t radically pivot again and again, but doggedly chased down increasingly complex challenges and found ways to survive out in the space between the stars.
