“Inside Orchard” Meaning

The name “Inside Orchard” is a play on the fruit orchards that eventually became Silicon Valley. Given the ease of focusing too much on any one tree in an orchard, “Inside Orchard” also refers to successfully navigating the noise found in the tech news cycle to focus on the big picture.
