What a Difference a Year makes--May 2020 SOM Interview
Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2021 9:59 amRecalled this May 2020 Entrepreneur article on Strat-o-Matic with interview of Mr Adam Richman. On first read last year and I think posted here, was a relatively hopeful piece of commentary during the pandemic surge. Now...meh.

In light of recent events and email traffic, it really does raise eyebrows. Or maybe ire.
A few quotes.
"I think that goes back to what I was originally talking about — looking at the company more as a tech company, as a data provider[...]"
"We have a huge announcement coming next year that we're not ready to talk about yet, and we have a large development team we've been working with on that. "
Is there an example of someone from your team having come to the table with a creative idea over the past two months that has helped you adjust?
"Our research director, John Garcia, is instrumental in setting up the parameters for this [Baseball Daily] simulation and creating a rhythm to it so that the market can come in and enjoy it."
"We're not actively looking for a buyer. We never have been. We get calls every year from people who are interested in buying Strat-O-Matic, and we take every single one of them."
Clearly, the ATG community is not the community of interest.
