The Nerd's Prayer

Yea, though I launch in the marketplace of the shadow of corporate behemoths,

I will fear no market share for I am the most nimble motherfucker in my industry.

I will neither fear their limitless marketing budgets nor their ginormous IT staffs.

My financial model and my investor deck, they comfort me.

Though the IPO market is forever in the toilet, thou presentest before me a table of potential acquirers.

Thine market burgeons with opportunities and people who really, really need my stuff.  No, really!

My code is awesome, my viral users runneth over.

Surely revenue and achievement of my key performance indicators shall follow my startup

and I will see one seriously awesome exit.
