The long and sometimes lonely path of a start up... apologies as this maybe slightly off topic. I keep seeing stories of start ups that are a huge success, launching or died. Where are all those companies in between? Perhaps it's a combin

We're the Hipmunk of research chemicals ( http://store.p212121.com ). As a side, at what point is a site popular enough to be 'the Y of X'. I suspect Hipmunk conveys more here than the dental office. I've been going with an amazon analogy

I tell people the part at which the transaction occurs. 'I sell research chemicals online.' The aggregating, tracking, sales, design, etc... are interesting follow up discussions.

I've done my share of endurance athletics and as an alternative to the 'how far approach' instead focused on the moment. I usually use phrases such as relax, long and smooth, etc... and knew the distance would take care of itself.

Perhaps the owner could price in lower tips for those that wait on groupon tables. Heck, you could even spin it a bit "at the end of today we will draw a groupon voucher and the waiter gets 50 dollars that served them"

I find it interesting how often this happens in the space of internet start-ups. I have a background in biochemistry and we don't have 'idea guys' coming around saying "hey, how about curing cancer?".
