'You are an aspiring entrepreneur, eager to dump the corporate grind, and work to the beat of your own drummer, but you can’t come up with that killer idea to save the world.

'You know those little pop-up windows that say, “Your Opinion Counts!” in an effort to recruit you to take online surveys?

This might be in the context of a company trying to raise their seed round, or a company that is further along that I’m giving feedback to about a series A, B, or C round.
