Your third example should go under the distinction of statements you disagree with.
There are plenty of reasons why Instagram may be worth $1 billion that are not outrageously, astonishingly wrong. Not least of which is because that's what Facebook paid for it two years ago. Instagram has grown significantly since then, as has FB's valuation. I'd speculate Instagram could go public today at a low multi-billion valuation.
It looks like the first Kickstarter was to find and test an adequate filtration system, and the second is to build a "float lab" test pool. If that succeeds they'll probably have to launch yet another Kickstarter asking for funding of over a million to build the final product.
I haven't slept on it personally but generally customers really like our comfort and feel.
* We also work really hard to provide good customer service and policies.
* Easy returns, helping you find a place to recycle your old beds a warranty that doesn't pro-rate and require you to jump through hoops to qualify for.

Anyway, if you're seriously considering cutting off at-home Internet, take a look at FreedomPop's free plans, limited to 500MB-1GB of data or something per month. I haven't used them personally, but it could be an inexpensive way of reducing the allure of an unlimited Internet funnel.
You still need to be an accredited investor to take part in these potential general solicitation rounds (net worth above $1 million, minus primary residence, or annual income of more than $200,000), right?
This article confusingly referred to "qualified" investors but according to other reporting it is actually "accredited" investors [1]. This is particularly confusing because "qualified purchasers" is an even higher standard required for some investments [2].
Age 29 the first with regular speed of clicks. Age 53 the second time taking lots of time between clicks and being more careful to click the center of the circle.
