If you've ever met them, the actual awesomeness is just how bad-ass Rich and Bill are.

  Pretty please describe an anecdote showing how bad-ass and awesome Rich and Bill are. Thanks, in advance.

    To make it hard to quit they got a dog together. It's supposed to be the company's dog, not either of theirs individually. The idea being that now the company can't go away or there's no one to take care of the dog. Increased the burn rate a little but turned out to be a net win.

      I know it's not really the same situation, but this reminds me of couples who have a child to help protect/save their marriage. This usually hurts, rather than helps the marriage.

        True, but it's not as bad as that. In the end, if you had to, you can give away the dog to a good home with a lot less paperwork. ;)

    Bill was working at Goldman Sachs and Rich was in Hong Kong doing an internship. Rich was a little bored, so they started a company in Hong Kong selling advertising on taxi cabs. They landed a deal with the largest cab company in the city.
