THE COST OF WAITING
"We watched our competitors buy search keywords at pennies while our board debated whether internet advertising was a fad. By the time we entered, CPCs had increased 40x. That delay cost us an estimated $40M in market share."

2007

THE COST OF WAITING

— Managing Director, Digital Strategy Consultancy

THE COST OF WAITING

— Fund Partner, Multi-Strategy Allocation
