Money + the Right Team =Brilliance. I say kudos on the $1.5M financing as well as a team of the right people to lay out the foundation. Money + the Right Team =Brilliance.

I read Guy's thoughts about building a biz with $12k and I said, "Sure, but it depends on the business." Truemors can be built for $12k. Heck, outsource it to India and it could have been less, I'd guess. And while Truemors might be a fun business with a simple advertising model (or maybe there's more there, who knows) it's far from game changing. Not that game changing ideas all have to be more expensive, but he's pushing one point of view to make a specific point and that's it. But that's what gets so many people talking about him. *grin* Matt – I appreciate the kind words.
