Missed opportunity: Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo reviews Your business plan
1 point by vitovito on Aug 15, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Penny Arcade is one of the oldest and largest webcomics. Years ago, they were on-and-off destitute, lost the rights to their own comic, and other sorts of disasters.

Robert Khoo single-handedly turned them into the empire they are today, with multiple IPs, games, conferences, charities and more. Details in this Wired article, halfway down, starting at "Back at the office":

One of the rewards in their Kickstarter is that Robert Khoo does a comprehensive review of your business plan, for a backing at the $2500 level. This is ridiculously cheap for the time and experience of someone like Khoo.

There's five hours left to back it as of this post.
