i need background story on who this guy is and where he came from, to better understand if his "insights" would be applicable to a hacker like me, or if it's only for top biz-school douchebags who already know VC's and are starting the game with $250k in the bank.<p>i.e. how did he get picked to be a founding member of BantamLive and how did that get bought by CC for $12MM?<p>i.e. start at the bottom rung of the ladder if you want real world hackers to learn something from this. otherwise it gives the impression that it's unreachable if you are starting from zip.<p>i tried to ask on the blog, but it appears my comments get deleted if they are not 100% supportive surfer-dude talk. so at least I'm getting an idea of what type of "transparency" is being given by these blogs. i hope i'm proven wrong when the next blog post comes out.
