Ellen Messmer 2009-03-16T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/frame/2009/012609wan2.html One topic that has received a lot of attention in these economic times is the viability of buying from start-ups in 2009.

Sequoia makes a number of recommendations for start-ups, including focusing on quality, lowering risk and reducing debt. It is difficult to argue with those recommendations. The problem is that the presentation contains a number of graphics, including a detailed image of a tombstone with "RIP Good Times" etched to create the impression of impending doom.
