Hey! I’m the author.

I had a strong opinion. My prediction was wrong!

But I left the article up because I have a lot of opinions and hey, I’m wrong sometimes…no shame!

Also I think I was like 24 when I wrote that and I love seeing how my write has evolved.

Yes that’s me!!

Looks great!

This blog is "loser talk".

He prolly didn't wanna bore people.

Yes

Yeah that's pretty wild. The survey actually include student loans though as well, but it's still crazy.

You can change people's submissions? Hmmm. That seems a bit strange.

I have heard that Vungle is doing well financially, so I'd say that's success.

I don't know about Shyp tho, but they have a lot of buzz and an innovative product, which in my mind is a success...although they still have a LONG way to go to prove themselves. So I get your point. I don't think funding is defines success, but more so a strong sign that your on your way making something work. And I totally agree...funding in itself isn't something you should brag about.

However, the # of jobs Jack helped create IMHO is 100% a success. It's super rewarding and changes lives (most of the time) in a great way.

They ended up getting sued later on. Thankfully, they had the money to afford the legal cost.

I think you're right, they aren't a great example, but many 'big' companies did questionable things that paid off in the end.

Of course, had this not worked everyone would call Tim a moron...but since it worked it's pretty awesome.

I'm excited to see how this plays out.
