Life Goes On For Dot Commers
from the things-change dept
A year and a half ago Fortune started following four Northwestern MBA graduates. Three of them were founding a startup, and one was going to P&G. So where are they now?. The three from the startup have all left that startup. They originally all went to go work for Idealab to start another company - but that didn't happen. One is working for an Idealab company. Another is working for a different startup. The last one is just hanging out. The P&G guy has left his job as well to be a consultant at a small firm. I have to admit, I'm getting quite sick of these "well, we tried to change the world, and now we have to figure out how to lead a normal life" MBA stories. Mostly, they're just people who tried to get really really rich without thinking through a business model, and now they act as if they deserve our sympathy.
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
