In 15 Years From Now Half of US Universities May Be in Bankruptcy. My Surprise Discussion with @ClayChristensen

Mark Suster:

Who else does Clayton pray for? Apple. Yup! Watch the 30-minute interview to hear why but summary notes below.

Let me start by saying that Clayton is one of the most influential people on my thoughts about markets that led to both the concept behind my first startup and my main theses in investing. I have written about Deflationary Economics (one of my most read posts ever) & The Innovator's Dilemma before. In a discussion I had with Fred Wilson at the Invesco LP meeting Fred said the same about the influence of Clayton.

So it was a real pleasure to be asked by Derek Anderson of Startup Grind to be able to interview Clayton for an audience of thousands (many in person, others by live broadcast). Startup Grind was a truly awesome conference and Derek the consumate host. I hope to be asked back for next year's event.

Clayton Christensen certainly didn't disappoint. It was one of funnest discussions I've held with a senior leader and he was surprisingly open and frank. If you have some time I highly recommend watching it.
