"Stay tuned for a series on the strategies employed by the self-made to become billionaires."

Apparently one way is to advertise something you can't actually deliver yet. It worked for Microsoft, and apparently this blog is adopting the vaporware strategy as well.

It's also simultaneously an example of anything with "smart" in the name not living up to the claim, and anything with "startup" in the name not actually being helpful to start-ups.
