Anyone else thought that the list of failed startups starts with NerdPilots? That ad is a little misplaced.

- tpurves 6y agoI didn't realize it wasn't first on yhe list until I read your post! I though to myself, of course, why would YC fund a contract development shop, such a wrong model for VC no wonder they must have failed.
- hluska 6y agoHa!! This makes my day - I thought they were on the list of failed startups too, thought the way fact same thing as you and didn’t even realize they weren’t a YC company until I got here. :) Thanks friend - I needed that chuckle today!
- bilbopotter 6y ago"Sponsored by" didn't do it for you
- hluska 6y agoObviously not - otherwise I wouldn’t have posted. The ‘sponsored by’ font isn’t terribly visible.
- atlasunshrugged 6y agoThey did fund Gigster which is what the business model was in essence
- rdw 6y agoYeah, the ads were pretty intrusive in this article. Still got us all to engage, though! Some content marketer is happy today.
- djmips 6y agoRight, we all associate them as a failed startup. Great marketing!
- pvarangot 6y agoYup, I was "oh they failed fast!" and then realized it was an ad.
- poutrathor 6y agoCan we talk about NerdPilots CSS mastery ? https://ibb.co/vZHS7xT https://ibb.co/vZHS7xT (on firefox, laptop)
