It is totally extended - do you know how long it takes to get 50 founders stories? Well I am finding out..it takes some time... :-)
I have a bunch of great ones already, including some from Retail Me Not and Bufferapp. I am in the process of hitting up about 100 leading startup founders in the US for their stories as well, so hoping to have this finalised soon. Please - send me your stories - love to hear it! Cheers, Scott.
