A Reader Asks Why Mixergy Focuses On Internet Startups

I always ask for feedback, so Red emailed me to suggest that I broaden my scope and target people outside the dot-com space.
He says, “I think there would be a huge demand from a broader non-techy community because your interviews are really clear and would help these guys get up to speed.”
If I aim for everyone, I’ll be meaningful to no one. Here’s why I focus on internet startups:
- They’re an audience that’s easy to find online
- They’re active online, so they give me good feedback
- I’m insanely curious about how to build internet companies
- I have friends in the space so it’s easier to get interviews
- Internet startups are trendsetters
- Internet startups can change the world with little capital
- I built a successful internet business, so I have relevant experience
