Sam comes across as intelligent and trustworthy. Compare him to the facebook guy, who comes across as very nerdy. Or to Matt Maroon, who comes across as arrogant. Sam looks like he gets girls, which frankly, is the best quality a person looking for startup money can have.
So I answer my own question - I now see what's cool about Sam Altman.
- startupobsessed 18y agoI don't actually think he gets that many _girls_...
- maxklein 18y agoHe likes guys? That's fine with me, I don't care, but why bring that up, and how would YOU know?

- aston 18y agoHe also has the balls to rock double polo shirts on stage at WWDC. In lime and pink at that...

- axod 18y agoAnd now the question "What is so cool about loopt?" Perhaps it's just I don't have any need for it. It seems like it might appeal to twitter lovers though, though even then it seems like it is a feature rather than a product to me. Is Loopt popular in the US?
