Rob Kalin

I just read an article on Inc.com about Rob Kalin, who is the founder of Etsy. The article is titled, Can Rob Kalin Scale Etsy? But that's not what the article is about. The article is actually about a fashion show in Greenpoint where hipster chicks wore spandex and drank Budweiser.Two hippie dudes started an Etsy store, and now they make enough money to make a living. Now they live in New York and throw fashion show parties. They have a real life store now, not just an online one. They have Rob Kalin to thank for this. They are evidence of Etsy's success. Kalin is 30 and awkward. He is also rich. The point of the article, as far as I can tell, is that hipsters can be rich too, and it's all because of the Internet. There was no discussion about scale. There probably should have been, as it's an interesting question, even if I have no idea what it means.
