The "Me, Too" Startup Syndrome
funtrepreneur:
Twas the night before YC deadline, when all through the valley
Creatures were stirring with excitement for the big night in Cali
Thousands of applications were typed with care
In hopes that the golden ticket will soon be there
And a few girlfriends slept alone in their beds
While visions of exits danced in their boyfriends’ heads
when out of the blues my iPhone lets out a...
