Editor's note

My favorite quote from this week's top story came from Andy Gibbs, "In short, don't take it too seriously. Get a business up and running. Angel investors, or any kind of investors, typically want to see a cash out within three to five years. So, look at your first startup and your first investment as your first, not your only. Get over it, get over yourself. Understand that there will be business no. 2, business no. 3, business no. 4, and the first one is the entry to the learning curve."
