It is wonderful to have someone admit that luck, or more accurately, being in the right place at the right – opportunity – was an important element of their success. Often it is many things coming together at the right time that makes for a successful business. Without the Aduino IDE, Sparkun, Adafruit, Make, Evilmadscience, etc. would not be where they are today. Nate founded Sparkfun before Arduino, but I believe his success is deeply intertwined with the Arduino. It is great that Nate is posting this thoughts and experiences, I love reading this stuff. The Founder of Polulu has written some interesting pieces on their website; my personal favorite was his piece on open source, with his dialog with Philip from adafruit. But I digress … Good work Nate!
