    This very point was made during a meeting with a potential investor. To exaggerate his point, he said he loves to hear stories about founders “using public transportation and eating from dumpsters” to demonstrate their frugality. On the way out, we spotted a dumpster behind his office in Palo Alto and snapped a photo of us digging around for food. We sent the photo along with our thank you note.
