I wanna tell you a story. It’s about a super good looking Asian that rose to have a high IQ. It was not always the case. At one point, it was small.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Plot spoiler, I was not always 6′ 5″. I used to be a baby<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I share this with you because your baby startup may not be beautiful out of the incubator chute (Y combinatorial double entendre intended!). I advocate and amplify what I curate because rules regulations, laws and cultural common occurrences can change. For the better, it can change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

In 2012, Homejoy set out to shape the future of home services. It\u2019s been a privilege, but it\u2019s time to say goodbye: bit.ly\/1fb0e31<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\nThis is analogous to an Illinois engineering undergrad put on academic probation after summer school. Like that makes any sense. Well, I know first hand what it is like to be diagnosed retarded.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well, I know first hand what it is like to graduate with engineering award and on Deans list after being on academic probation. I know the visceral pain and vicarious pain of seeing friends fail out. Then give up their academic dream of graduating a tier 3 college like the University of Illinois, Urbana (champaign is where your frat sits.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Well I know first hand what it was like to graduate with the highest starting salary as an engineer at University of Illinois with a November job offer at a Fortune 100 with a May graduation date. Concurrent, I had multimillion in revenue for my college startup. You see, 100% success is an illusion. Dean’s list with legendary engineering awards gloss over the near academic Bk.<\/div>\n

Can we please turn around Home Joy<\/div>\n
Did someone register @homeDeLaJOY yet<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It fells like my smart classmates who got admitted to U of I. Then they get put on academic probation and then choke. They choked because mentally they just gave up being productive and started to yard sale their shitake<\/div>\n
