Um. The headline here says "The VC Who Wouldn't Fund Her" but the article talks about a VC that did fund her though expressed his doubts. Also he's one of "thirty plus" investors.

Both articles were written a month ago and the company she founded has already shut down: http://blog.profounder.com/2012/02/17/profounder-shutting-do...

However I'm sure Forbes and Business Insider are very grateful for the ad impressions.


Holy color clash batman!

That blog has to be the ugliest thing I've seen in a long time. Same for their actual (former) home page.


Actually, it was written a year ago, 04.21.11.


Well played sir


Pretty sure fogus' response was a parody too :)


Reminds me of [Poe's Law](http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poes_Law) which states "it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing".

Though I think it should generalise to "there exists no parody which can unambiguously be identified as such". Doesn't that make parody's great?


Well done dudes


This is a well written comment. The organization you described sounds really interesting. One change I've always wanted to see in Corporate America is transparent pricing. I just visited your website and there's a "contact sales" button. Is that something you guys are working on?
