The problem is that a huge number of the big wins in investment are quasi-legal in ways that indiegogo/etc won't permit. That's why I can't run my company raise there. Neither could have Uber, AirBNB, any of the mariju

I adore react. I've moved two companies to it, one on my own and one with a team, from angular and template toolkit respectively. It's been an enormous boon to each team, who have both found that it rapidly leads to clearer shor

Unrealistic parables teach unrealistic lessons That a thing is a parable does not render it immune to disagreement on realism grounds Indeed if the defense is to point out that it's not meant to be realistic then it's probably not

I think the expected payback is going to be a large multiple. The part that's not a small business loan, I'm guessing, is that these are venture capitalists acting on longshots. 5-10% won't let you tolerate any misses.
