I really like this story, it was kinda like a movie. I think changing the format for StartUp Season 3 is quite interesting.

I've not listened yet, but this seems like a non-techy episode again... Not sure how I feel about that. Seems like the startup podcast lovers like the tech-startup focused episodes. It’s not uncommon for shoppers to walk out of Mary Going’s store feeling on top of the world. Mary runs Saint Harridan, a company that makes custom suits for the gender non-conforming. With her store, Mary has created a space that caters to the needs of butch women and trans men—something that doesn’t happen very often. Her fans are enthusiastic and dedicated, her products are selling out… and she can barely pay her rent. Saint Harridan is struggling to raise enough money to cover basic costs. Mary knows the demand for her product is there, but it isn’t translating into dollars. Her runway is getting shorter and shorter, but she’s hoping that by turning to her community, she can buy time and make a comeback.

This is not a good episode compared to their previous episodes. I hope they will do more podcasts like they've done about Twitch and GrooveShark
