You do realise the internet vastly surpasses the reach of corporate america. There are another 7.5 billion people out there that aren't American that would possibly use this. You don't need American users to be a big company. If it is a good idea, it is a good idea.

The submission in question is targeting corporate America.

But that take is cliched founder take. “X is a $10 billion industry. If we just get 1% we will be a great investment”.

If someone doesn’t more narrowly target their market to something more realistic than the entire population in the world. They have already lost

I see absolutely zero mention of corporate America or any nation. It just states a way to improve meetings.

There are many people that don't have regular meetings so I'm guessing he is focusing on those that do which is a market. I wouldn't use it as personally I prefer to avoid the meetings.

It’s in the very title of the submission that its purpose is to improve note taking during 1 on 1s and he mentions that he is in plenty. Where else do you have 1 on 1s except at work?

How often do you have meetings except at work?

Corporate, yes. But why do you think the OP is specifically targeting America?

You think a business in any other country - especially the EU where data protection requirements are even more strict - are going to allow their proprietary information to be in a random website?

Yes.

I don't live in your head.

You don’t have to “live in my head”. Companies value their intellectual property enough not to just put it in random websites.

Would you post your companies secrets to HN?

See what happens if he goes to let’s say Coca Cola. I’m sure they will be glad to tell their employees to put notes about the Coke formula and the discussions they had with their manager
