No one came from anywhere that had web or online experience. There were no rules.

A start-up that is looking for 1st generation experience in start-ups and development but with a firm belief in new ways and methods and practices. Probably have a crisis about how to go about starting a business in an environ that is traditionally hard to monetise from the off.
