For purposes of clarity, lawyers don't get 50%, and whatever they do get needs to be approved by the judge. It's often 20-30% depending on work.

It was interesting how much he talked about coachability and providing training. He put more emphasis on that then every other speaker today

You're right, but what you're looking for is someone who joined a start up early and grew the sales team successfully and now wants to go back go an early stage start up. Some people like building and working with early stage companies

One of the most interesting comments during the Q and A was Aaron recommended people don't be blinded by resumes (paraphrasing) "Just because people work at google, they might have 10k people there, doesn't mean they all [google employees\ are qualified or a good fit to join an early stage start up"

This is not a marketing ploy and has nothing to do what our company does. This was a bet between friends, and everyone I told this story to got a kick out of it. That, plus the fact I hoped someone on HN could help me solve this puzzle led us to post the story.

The photo used in the story is not her. I am 100% certain. The photo in the blog is a picture of a random girl who lives in another part of the country, has different physical attributs, and is a different age than the original girl in question
Re:Help me figure out how I lost this bet to an engineer on Wednesday September 11, 2013 @06:34PM (#6370606)
No, there was no hint about what company she worked for. And she didn't apply to work at Elastic / Close.io either

When I told her about the bet she laughed and took it all in stride. She thought it was funny.

Wait, whats the solution?
Re:Help me figure out how I lost this bet to an engineer on Wednesday September 11, 2013 @05:45PM (#6370342)
Surpringly well. I told her about the bet and she took everything in stride. She actually laughed when I told her. Shes a pretty awesome girl

@asymetric - I am not an engineer, I don't know how a lot of these things work. Rather than critique, I would appreciate a better analogy that I can use in the future

No, I am sitting with engineering founders from a different company who looked at the same picture sent in the same way I sent it to phil.
