Sketched (pen+paper) and scanned, touched up and colored in Photoshop.

What's considered a failure? Startups that broke up, shut down or didn't raise? Isn't it too early to tell for most companies?

Agreed. Too many startups are focused on connecting to the social graph instead of selling a customer on it. If they like your product, they will make sure their friends are on it or hear about it.

Originally from Toronto myself. Part of a startup called Insight (YC). We're based in Palo Alto. Happy to grab a coffee when you guys are here.

That would be awesome. What's a good way to get ahold of you?
