Right, the headline is misleading, at least to me. Sleeping on someone's couch usually means said sleeper is having a rough time and needs a roof over their head. I assumed this story was about an investor who turned Joel down, then hit a rough patch and ended up needing to sleep on Joel's couch out of the necessity of shelter.

Still, a good story.

LMAO. If I crashed on the couch, it is because I thoroughly enjoy meeting and hanging out with smart startup founders and hanging out with friends.

I can reassure you that having just returned from staying at the Intercontinental in Moscow with GOAP - I am not having a rough time.

I doubt Jon has hit a rough patch - perhaps more like, staying with a friendly tech entrepreneur whilst in town rather than spending another night in a hotel room

Right. Jon often lives on the road and spends a ridiculous amount of time helping startups and startup programs. Definitely a 'hard time' in terms of commitment (particularly if you ask his wife;) but far from hard times in the economic sense.

Right, that isn't what I got from the title though.
