I'm next door to Bootup Labs... all I know is, Hackernews needs to chill out. The people at Bootup, both the startups and management, are great folks who care about tech, care about the community and about innovation. The character assassinations of the people involved are unwarranted.
Securing funding is always hard, and the whole VC scene is crazy. Some companies get millions thrown at them even though they've been burning cash for years, others have great ideas and just can't secure some pocket change to get going. As far as I can see, Bootup is doing a pretty good job.
- kls 17y ago--After everything that we did for you and Steven Enough said about their attitude towards these individuals. Like they did them some type of favor, business is business and deals fall through all the time, but to then turn it on those guys like they should be grateful for getting screwed is just absurd and then to complain that they did not get anything in return for paying 2 months rent for the guys. Dan's post reeks of a self entitled prick, like he some sort of benevolent god or something and that is why they are getting their just crucifixion, not because a deal fell through.
