The answer you are reporting

How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Do you have a favourite failure?

I had such failure for the first ten years in Silicon Valley. General Magic — over a billion dollars invested in 1990 dollars! Could you imagine what that is today? The best team in the world. We were told we were gonna topple Microsoft and all these companies.
