    Startups do it for cheap.

    A great post by Andrew Hyde. I remember when I first started at HP and they told me how much my quarterly budget was and then asked me if that was enough. My first thought was that I could start a company with that much money. The I learned that everything costs more inside a big company. 

    Personally I still think we should have let the banks and big co's crash. It would have hurt more but we also would have come back twice as strong. From Andrew's post:  

    "The people I’m around in the startup world could make a damn good run to change the world on $100,000.  The banks couldn’t give a mid level manager a bonus that low."

    A colleague of mine is on an experimental micro-funding group in Nashville targeting start-ups in the technology market.

    We are launching our latest project on a shoestring budget. We've learned to be frugal by bootstrapping for years. Our fiscal restraint has made us attractive to investors. Just food for thought.
