So I see another startup failed story. Thinking I'll read it later after getting something done. an hour later, I start reading...
Right in the first sentence I see "99dresses". I have to admit, it took me a minute to process what's going on. She has been receiving significant coverage in mainstream Australian media. As someone, who is running startup from Sydney (there aren't so many of us), this felt like someone in your family has passed away even though I've never even met Nikki.
I'm not even sure what I'm writing here... I just feel sad.
- boyter 12y agoI did the same thing. Thought I would read later, saw 99dresses and kept reading. Sydney is pretty insular and almost everyone knows everyone else if not by reputation then personally.
- danieltillett 12y agoI am based in Sydney. I am not running what could be called a startup since my tech business has been running since 1999, but I do have a lot of experience with the the whole startup process. Is there a meetup of startup founders in Sydney?
- bluesix 12y agoAlmost daily. All over the place. Meetup.com is flooded with them.
- danieltillett 12y agoI am sure - I should have been more precise are there any good meetups :)
- dools 12y agoGet a desk at Fishburners.org ... that's where I met Nikki :)
- dools 12y agoYou should get a desk at Fishburners.org!
- TimJRobinson 12y agoI felt exactly the same. I'm based in Brisbane and have seen 99dresses mentioned many many times in the media and startup communities around here. I'm amazed and incredibly saddened that it didn't work out.
