Man, there are getting to be so many of these things. I hadn't even heard about this one myself yet.

We're just getting Shotput off the ground. We're going to do our first class this summer. Hope we do you proud!

From an article about Shotput some time ago:

"If we don’t understand the idea or the space, Cummings said, we’re not going to [invest in it.]"

Look forward to a lot of mediocre ideas, then. I'm glad early investors didn't say this about things like the gasoline engine. But of course that effort was probably bootstrapped.

Why is it called Shotput?

Imitation is the sincerest form of something. Maybe you should have gotten a patent.
