I really resonated with the following statement about underdogs:
"The collision of intelligence and ambition with opportunity is unbeatable. Almost everyone we have ever invested in has been a complete unknown at the time we met. Many have been immigrants or first generation Americans with barely a penny to their name. Underdogs are our favorite kind of people."
I wore a Justin.TV shirt that I got the 9th time I called Justin's public number in the three days of his launch and promised I would wear at Startup School.
One Stanford student at the event thought I was Justin. That was awesome. At least I was recognized.

Hrm, yeah, I think your answer makes much more sense than mine. Just going through it as an exercise kinda helped flushed some things out, but this question was vague for me. Perhaps for company strategists, it's a commonplace term.
