What To Do When Our Parents Start Startups

from the the-age-old-questions dept

On a slow news day (or, perhaps, just a day when I haven't had time to look for news, and none has popped out) here's a story from Janelle Brown over at Salon talking about how she feels about her father stepping into her industry and creating his own net startup. Personally, I think it would be pretty cool (go for it Dad!).

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Dad's starting internet companies

    When I retire, I had been planning on starting inut.com, a service that would allow you to order pecans, almonds, walnuts etc and have them delivered to your house within an hour by steroid pumped bicycle deliverers. But keep it a secret. inut is too good an idea and someone might steal it from me.

    Love,
    Dad
