#start-ups

Academics in entrepreneurship departments also study startups, but their science is closer to anthropology: describing the culture of founders and the practices of startups in an attempt to understand them. The New Pundits had a more practical vision, the one that the natural philosopher Robert Boyle articulated at the very dawn of modern science: “I shall not dare to think myself a true Naturalist till my skill can make my garden yield better herbs and flowers.”[2] A science should seek underlying truth, in other words, but it should also work. Whether it works or not is, of course, what determines whether it deserves to be called a science. And if there’s one thing we know about startup punditry, it’s that it hasn’t worked.
