Its never too late to stand up and admit your mistakes.
- ghurlman 17y agoTrue, though the impact is somewhat tempered when only done to save your own skin.
- Josh2010 17y agoToo True, and the apology was professionally written/reviewed by a PR expert with crisis management experience. Anyone wanting to start a business here is so naive they can't discern fact from fiction. Given the young age and limited experience of most of the entrepreneurs this is like fishing in a barrel. Be smart, act on facts, not fiction.

I think that Danny's defensiveness was a lot of what fueled the bad PR, since it drove expectations that this could happen again. An explicit commitment that it won't is a big improvement and exactly what was needed.
