With that type of model you need bodies to do the work. We want co-founders who are hands on. In our minds it's a simpler approach. Everyone is motivated to contribute because they have a stake in the success of the company.</p>iiijjjiiiTue, 15 Dec 2009 12:04:51 -0000http://www.tonywright.com/2009/just-how-important-is-the-valley-lets-look-at-some-data/#comment-9336791<p>We put together some stats using the Crunchbase data.
