Disclosure: I don't work for a "startup" but have started my own businesses before in the 80's and 90's. I work at a University now in tech. I may get downvoted for this comment. Oh well. I think I get PG's label of startup and why it matters to him and to HN followers. But let us not forget that most businesses are not started as a PG like "startup" and never go through the PG "startup" approach. Look around at the restaurants, small manufacturers, service companies like printer repairs and more. These are the companies that drive the economy. I am tech centric and like many startups and what they seem to offer but I think sometimes things on HN get distorted. I am not anti-startup. In fact I'll be at SXSW and paying attention to the headline grabbers to see what interests me. I hope MightyBell survives and I wish Gina the best of luck. Let us not forget the small business persons that struggle everyday to survive and grow just a little, one customer at a time.
