Hey Guys, My name is Chris Williams. I wrote the post :) If anyone wants to connect, I would love to. My email is [e-mail]

My buddy just let me know that this post was picked up ~6 month late.

I'm looking forward to addressing everyone's comments.

The reason I'm qualified to talk about this is because I started a software company and have grown it to ~$400k in revenue and profitable in 18 months. Why? Largely, not listening to "startup" advice, and SELLING. It's key that this is a B2B company not selling to other software people (B2C and software-to-software sales are much different than B2B and software-to-outside-world sales)

Again, I'm my intent is not to insult the software industry, just say the most of the advice seems incomplete from my perspective.

Chris
