A company that has been going since 2001 is not exactly a startup, but Blue Gecko co-founder Sarah Novotny says that maintaining a startup mindset has helped her company keep going this long, with no end in sight.

Nonsense, my cousin has been in startup mode for longer than that. My other relatives call it "unemployed and living in his parents' basement" but I think they're just being Negative Nancies.
