We all want to believe we can save the world. But almost none of us wants to take the red pill.<br \/>\nWhy not? If you&#8217;re a software entrepreneur who invents a new way to animate movies, isn&#8217;t it more fun to <em>be<\/em> Pixar than to sell software to Pixar? You can ask the same question about \u00a0Tesla and cars, Climate Corporation and farmer&#8217;s insurance, Uber and a transportation system, Simple and banks, Xoom and money transfers, Redfin and Realtors.<br \/>\nThis presentation makes the case that software entrepreneurs can do anything in the real world: we can build better schools and \u00a0hospitals, for example, so long as we start working with teachers and doctors. By the same token, the next generation of airplane manufacturers, oil exploration companies and pharmaceutical laboratories will all be hybrid companies, started, led or powered by software entrepreneurs.<br \/>\nThe world, not just the web, will get better as a result.<br \/>\nMany thanks to Pivotal Productions and all the Tedx Windy City folks for asking us to participate!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, I flew to Chicago for a Tedx presentation on my favorite subject, how software entrepreneurs can build real-world companies.
