It's insane to refer to this article as a fluff piece. It's a detailed, transparent, numerical, inside look at how a particular founder runs various aspects of her business.
It's one of the least fluffy pieces I've seen about a startup.
- valuearb 8y agoIs this one of those “great businesses” that’s never turned a profit and will disappear like a puff of smoke in the next economic downturn?
