Why is this called the Jcurve?

What is so significant about the Jcurve?

My name is Justin and I love musing about technology, entrepreneurship, digital media and entertainment. I’ve got a big broad range of interests.

But something that has remained interesting for me throughout the years is the story of David vs Goliath.David was the small guy that fought valiantly against the big and evil Goliath.

It’s a classic story of good vs evil. Small trumping the big.Somehow, that’s how I feel about my life. The challenges always seem so massive. The mountain peak seems so far.

But having set my sights on a peak, I’ll take one step a day, knowing that with every day, the step will get sturdier and the my steps will become broader.

Because with every growing step, the spirit of David floats within, making each one lighter and faster.

So the Jcurve is not something that happens to be related to the first character of my name. It’s actually rather closely related to a trend in entrepreneurship: If you track the profitability of an emerging enterprise, you’ll realize that it follows the Jcurve. It’s a curve that dips down below the median and eventually curves upwards, crossing back above the median eventually and carrying on like a rocket into space.

The Jcurve is inspired by the very inspirations that I’ve grown up with. The stories of Warren Buffett. The emergence of Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google titans. Literally every successful enterprise exhibits the Jcurve. It is about that initial submersion into the depths of the ‘red’ (in accounting terms) and re-emerging into the stratosphere of the ‘black’.These are tales of risk and countless adventures.

This, is what the Jcurve is all about.
