I disagree - the title is spot on. Groupon's monthly revenue isn't directly related to the personal finances of the founders. The point of the post is to show that a founder's bank going from 5m to 500m doesn't have as much of an effect as

i think he's talking about the small sliver of people on the opposite end of those that say "only by my bootstraps did i get to where i am". there definitely are people that revel in being seen as super humble and full of humility. he said

I was out in Boulder for Techstars events a few months back. Community and tech feel seemed better than when I visited Palo Alto (spent 4 days at both Palo Alto and Boulder with friends' startups). Would highly recommend it both as a plac

this seems like a common "if you can't beat em, join em". you would've been better off counting your objective-c learning as lost time and moved to a cross-compiler like everyone else (since they support publishing to multiple platforms an

As much as Jason Calacanis can be annoying, This Week in Startups is always a great show and he seems to have found a great monetization strategy for it - corporate sponsors of service providers to startup people. I probably won't be paying
