Reading their website is pretty inspiring.

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."




+1 on the benefits of being unknown!

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.
