Kitten Named Captain of American Hide-and-Seek Team
Kitten Named Captain of American Hide-and-Seek Team
A cat named Lyle from Sioux Falls, SD has been named the caption of the American Hide-and-Seek team in advance of the World Championships next month in Lisbon, Portugal. Lyle has been on the team for 4 years and competed at the 2012 Olympics in London, where the US squad placed just out of medal contention in fourth.
“This year’s team is vastly improved over last year,” said hide-and-seek analyst Jamie Windsor. There has been very little turnover on the team itself – this is essentially the same roster as the 2012 group – but Windsor said the team members have much better chemistry.

Much of that improved team dynamic can be attributed to Lyle. “His leadership is a huge asset to the team,” said Windsor, who thinks the Americans will give the reigning-champion Russians a run for their money at the Lisbon event.
“These cats can hide… and seek,” said Windsor.

Puppy’s Business Model Called Into Question
Puppy’s Business Model Called Into Question
When Larry, a dog from Indianapolis, IN, was accepted into a local startup accelerator he didn’t really have a business idea in mind. He was accepted based solely on his potential as a startup entrepreneur – he was passionate about changing the world and a never ending amount of energy.
After tinkering with some concepts, he’s hit upon an idea that generates phenomenal user growth but little revenue, and some mentors are beginning to worry.
“Free Pit Bull Kisses! is a service that clearly fills a niche, but unless Larry can explain how he plans to monetize it, I just don’t see many investors jumping on board,” said Ferguson Laird, an entrepreneur who recently sold his third company to Yahoo! for a reported $25 million.
Startup blogger Tony Chu agrees. “Larry has built a killer service, but that’s not enough,” he said. “He has to be able to communicate to investors that he has the business acumen to make money from all those users.”
For his part, the pit bull does not seem worried.
“Free Pit Bull Kisses! is all about user acquisition right now,” said co-founder and CTO Kalista Chernin. “We have some ideas about how to monetize, but really, we’ll figure that out later. Once we get to scale, the revenue will come.”
