A start-up is a painting that the artist "founder" tries to express to his audience. At times he's misunderstood, but there are times when the whole world appreciates and respects the artist's masterpiece....

Thank you! I am happy to hear that. We're hoping these stories can be interesting and informative not only to founders, but for a general audience. And who knows, maybe you will be a founder someday?

Exactly the way I see things, I bet that most of people also think about it the same way... but it feels good to listen that from likeminded people :)
