For anyone interested in exiting to startups, I recently created Startupon, a weekly newsletter dedicated to helping people find exciting startups and technology companies to join.

In the newsletter I’ll dive into interesting companies and answer questions like, “how should I think about early stage vs growth stage startups”?

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33.

I was wondering if anyone in this group is or knows about groups to support attorneys who are/have been suspended and how to handle it with life. Frankly the state bar isn't a good resource and it's starting to impact my career in not practicing the law.

Boy that was a blow that triggered depression and anxiety, still there as it's been less than a year week.

I have a question about pricing. Some context to my upcoming question: My brother and I are starting a personal training business.

I don’t know weather we should charge on the higher spectrum because of our experience or lower because of our business infancy.

They are valued at $5M by a startup accelerator and received $50K as part of being admitted into the program. Contd.
