Why We Can't Afford to Fail

Tough competition.... Crowded "space"... Everyone wants to get in... we've all heard it before. Recently, someone took things a bit further and said the chance of deeda succeeding was 1:400

Which reminded us of this:



While anyone who's ever joined or worked with a Startup knows the odds of success are not great, it goes with the territory to 'Keep The Faith' and Believe in even the smallest of chances. Right now, as you're reading this, someone else is thinking about your idea --- get over it --- now, it's all about execution. Can you execute better and faster than your competition? And do you have the guts to keep fighting even when your back's against the wall?

Why deeda shouldn't fail is because there is a very important statement that needs to made when it comes to the future of technology companies and the millions of users who interact with them. deeda is dedicated to truly being a technology company that is built "by the people, for the people." There is so much that is unexplored in this area. We've worked with open source projects --- we've worked with open platform communities --- but when it comes to hardware, software, and a true community interactive Technology Company --- we're still floundering around hoping to catch bits and pieces of whatever we can get our hands on.

Here's OpenMoko. If you haven't heard about them, they're a pretty cool company with a handset based on an open-source OS. So this is a bit closer to what we're hoping to achieve at deeda, albeit on a slightly grander scale. By grander we mean having more integrated parts (web, desktop, devices). With these three components we can do anything --- and best of all we're not going to have to rely on Dell or others to provide us with OS (Linux please) options we want to see on our desktops and laptops. We loved it when Dell introduced their Idea Exchange, but once again, the opportunity for us to become our own Dell, Apple, Microsoft, or Sony --- from the ground up --- is so much more appealing.

We can't fail... because Failure Is Not An Option.




Stop thinking about what can't be done and focus on accomplishing the impossible.
