  1. Read about twittering: called IM for old people by a 15 year old intern at Morgan Stanley. Caused a stir. http://tinyurl.com/ngs6dr
  2. I was born in the UK, raised in India and am now an American. This site creates flags for all that http://www.wearemulticolore...

  11. Last Kauffman fact: 60% respondents had at least one child when they launched their first startup. 43.5% had two.
  12. Kauffman study: Strangest one yet. Entrepreneurs were usually the 2nd child out of three (I'm 2nd out of 3)
  13. Kauffman: 70% of entrepreneurs were married at first startup. Only 5% were divorced/separated/widowed. There goes the single person theory!
  14. Kaufmann survey found that the average age of first time founders of nearly 600 companies they surveyed was 40 !

  17. The Poverty Lab at MIT is writing policy for developing countries. This is a good step to turn research into reality
