actually from the top of my head I can't really come up with any heavily overweight startup founders.
- willwagner 17y agoReid Hoffman from Linkedin isn't skinny (not sure if he was when he founded linkedin though)
- byrneseyeview 17y agoAt the age of 40, with what he calls his "active but sedentary start-up lifestyle," Hoffman just keeps getting bigger: about 10 pounds a year, he estimates. http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jul/08/business/fi-hoffman8 http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jul/08/business/fi-hoffman8 LinkedIn was founded about sixty pounds ago: http://www.crunchbase.com/company/linkedin http://www.crunchbase.com/company/linkedin However, one should note that Hoffman founded an early social network when he was slimmer; it failed. And he wasn't a founder at Paypal, which succeeded.
- vollmond 17y agoSteve Wozniak - not skinny
- gaius 17y agoNot now, but back then he wasn't obese.
- halo 17y agoGabe Newell?
- weaksauce 17y agoHe's not the typical startup founder. He started a game company with the millions he got from Microsoft.
- TheSOB88 17y agoThere was a discussion yesterday about the 'typical startup founder'. Newell may be closer to the 'typical' one, given that most startups are run by people with experience and money from their previous jobs.
