Just it sparked a more overall feeling of wanting to see something new. I think you're right, the new wave of startups should have learned from the lessons of the old and perform better, It would be cool to hear what they have to say. I also think some startups (and I'm really not thinking of any in particular) hide under the excuse of being a 'startup' for a bit too long to avoid the reality that businesses are meant to make money - or at the very least, cover costs!

I was also having a beer (not too unlike me), hence the search engine love bit :) I think you're right about 2-3 years qualifying as a start-up period. It really depends on the purpose of the article. Personally I think an article on the less established "startups" would have been more useful in terms of encouraging and developing something Wellington seems to be good at. I always find the fringes more interesting anyway. Have a great day!

Like your site! Ha ha, I just think startups needs to kind of be about 2-3 years MAX - after that, in this day and age, surely you've either made it or not? Or well on the path to one direction anyway! Hi Nicola!

That's an interesting observation - anyone from Trademe there ;) Mmm I think I spot one mystery woman amongst them... Anyway, as a big fan of Decisive Flow I really just popped by to say hello :) Nicola Hi Nat
