As a matter of fact, I quite going to the start-up meetings in Philly because it seemed to be full of bright young things with absurd ideas. The guy with the new industrial supply start-up I'm talking with has already had one successful company, but he sold it. He's a lot lower key than most of the start-up people I've dealt with, so this gives me hope.A lot of the start-up types I've met in Philly seem to be riding on daddy's cash. I couldn't believe how many of them had no business experience whatsoever. The running joke in the hipster Northern Liberties area is that the start-up lasts until the parents get tired of fronting the funds.</blockquote>
