--Why a startup founder walked away from $100,000 in venture capital and took a regular job.
--What hidden dangers lurked in this seemingly safe job with a large organization.
--How, through negotiating these dangers, he learned how to be a much better entrepreneur.
(walked away from VC, after failing with 750k in grants) and the VC deal was only if he could find matching investors.
deceptive title.. decent story
Therapy can be expensive. This is a good case for having co-founders.
It was a great story though... Please put it back if you are reading this, Chris
1. Nine pages? Put it all on one page. Almost everyone has broadband now.
2. Got government grants to develop his startup and still failed? This is the wrong place to complain. Lots of people here would love a handout (that's what it is), but never get the chance.
3. Too long. Hacker news is for 5 minute breaks. That story could have been 50% as long.
In spite of all that, great read. I had to keep going to find out what happened. Nice enough guy. Sure hope he gets everything to work out.
