My response which I posted: Hey Danny. I apologize that you feel like I'm twisting the truth. It was the last week in January until the end of last Month. While we were there 3 months of the year, you are correct 2 months would be more accurate, I was just getting the $100k off of the Bootup website, I understood that we got $150k, but that $50k went back to Bootup, is that not what the original terms were? You did pay our rent and our legal fees to get incorporated. I mentioned the rent, but I didn't mention the legal fees. I apologize. I didn't suggest that Bootup was closing down or was out of money. I wouldn't suggest that I got the better end of the deal as it was extremely expensive to move to and live in Vancouver. I wish you all well.

    Can we please not do that, at least here on HN? A direct link[1] to the comment in question would be better for a number of reasons. [1] http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1266864 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1266864

  And this is why you don't embellish titles. Even when retitling your own original post.

why are you apologizing? Seems like it should be the other way around... Soory you guys have had ahard time, Hope this experience doesn't scare too many other people off doing startups in vancouver or coming here to start a business

  I'd like to think that most people ballsy enough to start a startup in the first place will take it as lessons learned and still see Vancouver as a great opportunity. I know I would, if given the opportunity. I'd just be a little more careful now, having read about Statusly's ups and downs.
