Zillow's Rich Barton storms the data Bastille
I tend to cringe at the defacto bromides in most “entrepreneur” profiles. But Barton is noteable in my experience meeting a decent chunk of Seattle’s entrepreneurial class. He’s articulate, humane, lucid and, above all, simple in his big-picture perspective. That translates well to business ideas (I’d argue less so post-debut business growth). Regardless, this short profile has a few simple points from Barton’s own outlook that resonate.
