The most interesting thing about that post is the discussion about how much the founder owned. $170 million is not a $170 million check to the founder. 20 - 30% seem about right? Chop that by 40 - 50% for taxes. $170 million turns into $20 million. Still a new life.

Nice write up Dana. Change is always good. I do take a bit of issue with your statement that "you really can't get a space in the ATDC now unless you know someone." I am in charge of talking with entrepreneurs that have an interest in joining ATDC and shepherding them through the application process. If anyone has an interest they can reach me at lance@atdc.org.
