From what I've read and heard, it seems as though it will act much more like a private equity firm than label -- @adaludwin might have more to add on this.Caren (CK)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14011584639768130693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13654929.post-38092317504136372272009-09-15T07:08:51.188-05:002009-09-15T07:08:51.188-05:00Cool idea, but analogy to a fired founder seems fl...Cool idea, but analogy to a fired founder seems flawed. Best joined The Quarrymen in 1960, but Lennon & McCartney had been together in that group since 1957 (Harrison joined in '58). So, Best isn't really a co-founder -- he's more like a senior member of the startup team, say, VP-Operations. His firing does raise some interesting questions about how startup teams cohere, and how much they should rely on VCs (George Martin and Brian Epstein?) when making key hiring/firing decisions.
