The History of Instructables
Our CEO, Eric Wilhelm, wrote a history of Instructables.com and Squid Labs, posing it as a “How to Start a Business” instructable. Snip:
Even if cash neutrality is all that Instructables ever achieves, and it never actually provides a meaningful return to its investors, I would still be proud of my company. Instructables by its very nature has, and will continue to have, a net positive impact on the world. It’s a valuable tool for anyone with a project or idea to share, and we’re building a fantastic community.

That quote doesn’t strike me as particularly great for investor relations / confidence. I mean, it’s well and good to be proud of what you achieve; hopefully those people with a sunk cost in owning the enterprise feel the same way about their asset.

Yeah, he wasn’t exactly buttering up the investors with that one…
