Awesome slides. I think this is one of the hardest parts to launching something. It's hard to find someone that is aligned with you as well as someone who you can trust enough to start a company with.
Have these burst deal sites (Gilt, Fab, etc.) even proven to be profitable? With people worrying, and almost constantly bashing, daily deal sites such as Groupon and LivingSocial, one can only wonder if these are next.
