The online classified site’s interface has remained mostly unchanged since it debuted in 1995. No one could call Craigslist a beautifully designed website – even in 1995. It also communicates that you’re a member of the Apple community. The most striking aspect of the Craigslist brand? This is not an accident.

The collapse of the IPO market and dysfunctional math in the venture capital community has stacked the odds against you.
