Curious - are you following the Hacker, Hustler, Designer model?
- nanijoe 14y agoIs this some kind of well known model? What are the others?
- logn 14y agoIn the legal world, firms align around "Finders, Minders, and Grinders". Finders are the well-connected guys/gals who bring in business. Minders are the intelligent ones who hash out the hard problems. And grinders get all the routine work done at a fast pace. Maybe this applies to tech?

- eli 14y agoI have never heard that particular phrase before, so the answer is probably not. It's more like Hacker, Business Guy ("Hustler" sounds a little pejorative), and Sales Guy. But I'd point out that I consider us a B2B media company that makes clever use of technology, more than a "technology startup." Nailing enterprise sales is crucial to our success, which is probably not the case for consumer internet startups (or for startups that are, uh, not yet trying to make money).
