Since we started our Startup Pick format, we have received some 50 submissions. While most of them were really good (as you can see for yourself here), others really managed to leave us speechless for two reasons: ridiculous and potentially damaging photos and answers. We can’t publish the photos (sorry, you’re really missing out here) but we can share a few anonymous quotes. Please don’t mind our subtle comments at the end of each (in italics).
Introduce your team, and tell us one interesting thing about each member. We are…
…a great team. – Fascinating. And you are…?
You might not believe it but…
I don’t know what you mean 🙂 – We can’t believe it either.
Our inside joke is…
Guess we don’t have one in our company. – Sounds like fun in that office.
The startup we really want to see on inventures’ Startup Pick is…
our’s! – This is wrong for two reasons, and spelling’s only one of them.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
Nothing. We live in the cloud. (Maybe the hamster). – So the hamster doesn’t live with you in the cloud?
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
Definitely our poster of a chimpanzee with headphones! If we can’t reach that probably our laptops. – That poster must have been some investment.
Our inside joke is…
Our CTO saying “Scommunity” when he just wanted to say “community”. It’s not that funny for you guys but I can be a dick sometimes. – We are rolling on the floor laughing.
Our inside joke is…
That we create a sensitive product for pupils, but at the same time enjoy parties… sometimes too much 🙂 – Setting a good example there.
The one thing we would save from our burning office is…
We have a bottle of very good scotch for a special day here. – The day when your office burns down?
You might not believe it, but we…
Put some change in the “beer box” every day. We’re really looking forward to the day it’s full again. – Clear priorities. Who needs a money box these days?
To all our future Startup Picks – please don’t do this to us in 2014.
