I don't get it.. how is it DIY if you are venture backed?
I'd say it's not - but Ryan's article is about crowdfunding, not VC funding.
I don't think we necessarily need to find a clear dividing line, but DIY to me seems to imply something you're doing in your spare time, not as a full-time job.
Is it still DIY if your kickstarter made enough money to devote yourself to your project for a year? How is a DIY project with half a million in Kickstarter funding different from a startup with half a million in angel investment? Meh - either way, I wouldn't mind claiming it as a success story that came out of the DIY movement. Does it really matter what we call it?
