LOOKS LIKE THE NEXT WEB 3.1.1 SUCCESS! Book Gary Danko and tell 'em young money is 'comin.
yawn. I couldn't care less what the 'real' world does, I worked on that side for 10 years and even at 'successful' companies no one was running around with black cards and driving exotics.
stop caring, stop reading, and start making money.

television all over your nation now go and cover this woman in positive congregation while labeling 'Marketing Director' beneath her first name last name caption
- how many reporters inquired your view on affiliate marketing this month?
- who, besides an affiliate marketer's own twitter/linkedin profile, predicates them 'Marketing Director' ?
- how large has her business network grown since coverage, compared to your own, in the past 7 days ??
why. does. no. one. get. the. picture.
Hating on people who utilize media or business models in great fashion, yeah that's an awesome path to the gentleman's club! o wait- y'all prefer irc channels and 'forum sections' !
I hate sounding stuck up, mostly I'm relatively new here. And I don't even do AM. But.. Fuck. Wake up!
Rich kids are 99% of the times spoiled with all kinds of stuff and never end up being successful.
Due to where I reside, I know many of those spoiled kids. A lot of them crash cars and show up with brand new ones the next week. Some other guy got the ugliest chick around pregnant at 19 and got a house from his daddy. I don't have a problem with people crashing cars or buying houses unless the money comes from the "being a son" profession.
Only one guy who got money from his daddy to start a clothing line really made it, sold the line at 25ish and now rides around in a Lambo. Props to that kid (asian btw, lol)
OP: 100k seed money from daddy to start up some crap. Being on the hustle is nice but goddamn, does anyone in here really think that anyone else except her dad would've invested in that crap? Reminds me of this:

Yea she annoys me too. Probably because she's a try hard and her daddy gave her God mode cheat codes for her stupid ideas.
Bah.
Bah.
I grew up in silicon valley, I dropped out of school during the .com boom and thought I had enough equity to retire at 25 since naturally the amazing .com boom was going to last and my worthless company (no at that time not "MINE") that had raised 15M was going to be worth a billion. After all we were new, we were novel, and we did absolutely nothing notable nor needed.
I then proceeded to chase the bubble/media/buy out/etc etc etc boom for basically 10 years. Many other people (who gladly paid me 6 figure salaries) labeled me business development directors, <gasp> SENIOR marketing directors, and <cue Paul Allen card scene from American Psycho> even a VICE PREISDENT.
Here's the fucking problem with most companies that get all the coverage:
- they don't make any fucking money given that they've raised asinine amounts of funding, because dumb VC's still throw darts hoping for a 1999 coke fueled resurgence. Hint- it's not happening.
a) twitter
b) facebook
c) yelp
d) Zynga (due to RIDICULOUS valuation)
And despite working next to (or FOR) all sorts of private school MBA's without a clue about how the internet really works, well, that is besides what others on their staff did for them to get them listed in all sorts of bullshit bloggy publications like Valleywag, I never saw this genius, and I never saw any REAL money.
No, in fact when this dumb IRC using basement dwelling Doritos munching idiot walked away from this self-inflated ego scene and actually started DOING, I had all sorts of calls from these same previous 'brilliant' people asking if I'd hire them.
After that I had all sorts of VC's wondering how they could get a piece of the pie since surely I was somehow i need of a few million to hire a bunch of retards, buy some blue leather bean bags and a $1500 ping pong table and start doodling on whiteboards all day while handing a Nantucket nectar to some $62k/year idiot journalist slobbing for some dumb story to appease the masses. Of course when they were told "um- I don't need any money" they proceeded to rapid fire off a million questions about what kind of technology was being used to get to profitability so fast.
And the cycle of dumb bullshit by the corporate cant-do's continued.
For as many 'social media experts' and self proclaimed Visionaries and rain makers prancing about in the tech space I'd expect a hell of a lot more Ferraris. But that's right- they're only driving their Honda Accord temporarily because their Citation is being built pending the sale at a 55x revenue multiplier even though this still barely pays back those holding preferred stock.
Uh huh. Continue.
Agree 100% w/ OP. WTF is this dumbass even doing being interviewed? Who would listen to her? What does she have to show for? How much revenue is this "entrepreneur" pulling in? All I see is terribly allocated capital going out. Grow up and do something creative and do it with no money pussy. I can't stand reading this or listening to her talk. Even calling it your "3rd startup" is bullshit. Freaking put your head down, get to work and stop flapping your lip.
Reminds me of a news reporter "reporting" the news rather than "researching" the news. Just another talking head.

hideous website - wtf with that bg??!
this is not a new concept. so fucking annoying. i wish web2.0 would fucking die already.
nothing can be said better than the statements on TheOatmeal.com
This is a prime example of what should not be created.
ENOUGH ALREADY with these stupidass social media sites - they are lame.
and...her face and teeth annoy me. looks like a horse. not a good choice for spokesperson.

Very insightful response from your side, Mr. Forelli[?].
Good people do exist on this forum. But key phrases from your writing apply inside this very same thread as well. Well spoken though. I don't know what business you do but I hope it worked out to be the right outcome
That was obviously my initial thought but
this. why would he sell x% of his company, not worth if he succeeded. anyway he is worth more than all of us posting in this thread combined so he gotta know something we dont, at least I dont.
because it's a hedge against the common commonality of large dollar exits: failure.
What's the hedge?
a) paying yourself a large salary with someone elses money
and/or
b) taking money off the table by creatively selling shares that you already own since you technically founded it and plunked $250k of your money in it before there is every a liquid market either during the series "A" or "B"
and/or
c) pumping the valuation up by taking on VC's with relatively conflicted interests and letting them mis - er ... cleverly represent current revenue/valuation to their peers to get sold at a level that you wouldn't want to be on record for indicating yourself.
There is all sorts of fun ways to use VC money, and all sorts of "amazing" people who cleverly use their money with ventures that do nothing to make millions just playing off VC's ignorance and their past successes.
*Not at ALL saying that's this case, but per your comment that's why a LOT of people worth a lot of money still take on investors.
Really? cause I find that the articles on Yahoo are almost always ridiculous. Infact, I get annoyed when they rope me in with some flashy stupid headline. Worse than local news.
but not as fun as news of a new mysteriously potent deep purple super berry emerging from deep in the Brazilian rain forest!
