Startups are a great way to "passionately work in a fast paced environment that's going to change the world"

Translation: "Passionately" - we will underpay you "Fast paced" - 7 days a week "Change the world" - we won't ipo but sell out to a company for a few hundred million which you won't see a dime of.

GL!
