Wow! I wonder how this will work out, given the Model-T/faster-horse analogy.

Wow, that's a pretty rare behind the scenes at someone who is so public, you'd think there wasn't that much that Fred hasn't talked about already. Didn't know Fred was almost broke before the Geocities sale went through, or that he started

Thanks and I am totally rooting for Zoho, you're building an amazing company and culture quite like Apple, Zappos and Netflix.

How much to raise is an intriguing question, especially if you're a first timer. Mark Suster says to raise $100-250k in that case, http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2009/08/14/angel-funding-... And Joshua Schachter (joshu on here) said t
