I spent the better part of the last 3 years building our 3rd business from revenues and sweat. We went from an idea to sustainable, growing, and profitable business. It was not easy, nothing ever is. At times we flirted with taking funding, had offers on the table, and sought out a few commitments. Even …
This IS amazing. Hat tip @joestump
I have a hunch that the majority of startup centers in the nation lean left. SF, Austin, NYC, Boston, Boulder.. predominantly vote blue in presidential elections.
