A comment from one of the advisors:
(We have a $100 challenge– if any of the founders in Portland Ten are able to quit their day job during the program, because they’ve generated sufficient revenue/funding, we will give them $100).

$100!? That is insulting... It doesn't look like they have very good advice to give when they have something like that.
- roberte3 18y agoIts a symbolic reward. There are actually a bunch of triggers for getting the $100. Like getting outside investment, deciding that the business won't work and quiting, and a pile of others. Its like getting a coffee cup at work with the company logo on it for being there a year. Its not the reason you do the job.
- gabrielroth 18y agoIt still seems weird to give a small amount of cash as a reward for attracting a much larger amount of cash.
- jmtulloss 18y agoYeah, I'd take the coffee mug.
