But for those who somehow haven’t already heard about this amazing, literally firebreathing business pundit, here’s a short description: He’s an imaginary, giant robot dinosaur who tweets in all caps and dispenses advice on how to make your startup AWESOME.
Imagine someone like “lean startup” evangelist Eric Ries, or 37 Signals founders and Rework authors Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson — except he’s a giant robot dinosaur.
