Curation is its own competitive advantage and most people still underestimate it.
It's interesting that both founders and investors are solving the same problem from opposite sides.

As information becomes more abundant, understanding and curation becomes increasingly valuable. The bottleneck isn't access anymore. It's knowing what deserves your attention.
