How to Speak Startup

Another meaningless and overused adjective that could be added to this list is &quot;curated&quot;.<p>Curated means that the company chose to sell certain things, and not sell other things. How novel. Walmart curates its product offerings.<p>There are some days where every third listing on ProductHunt is &quot;A curated collection of ______&quot;.

I hope tech crunch did this purely tongue in cheek, if it weren&#x27;t for the likes of them, the terms they are fileting are the argot they and their industry, tech &#x27;journalism,&#x27; pick up, amplify, popularize and abuse wouldn&#x27;t become ubiquitous. Then they have the audacity to ridicule the industry.

Probably the best article I&#x27;ve read on TechCrunch for a while. Even if they missed &#x27;disrupt&#x27; because TechCrunch wouldn&#x27;t make fun of themselves.

&quot;Disrupt&quot; is suspiciously absent from this list.

That was a lot funnier and more accurate than I would&#x27;ve expected from Techcrunch.

Anybody care to reverse engineer the meaning of &quot;Serial Hackerpreneur&quot;?<p><a href="https://angel.co/jawad-ansari" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;angel.co&#x2F;jawad-ansari</a>

Well, I clicked on a techcrunch dot com link, so I guess I got what I asked for.

I always use the Startup Guys as a reference this.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMmdl4VltD4" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=LMmdl4VltD4</a>

<i>&quot;Cashflow Positive – Someone gave us a dollar.&quot;</i><p>Funny -- even more funny when you consider that many startups never make it that far!

last time my boss asked me how was my side project for the team going (I am from enterprise world), i replied i haven&#x27;t reached MVP yet. he paused a while and puzzled saying I will buy you a ring then

:) this was pretty hilarious

I&#x27;m actually fairly disappointed since I was hoping this would be helpful.

TechCrunch doesn&#x27;t even make money and what they produce is shoddy journalism at best. How are they going to go around criticizing others who try to do something?<p>Douchebag journalists are WAY worse because they believe the bullshit they spew. At least startup douchebags get a whiff of their own shit.
