The Big Business Of Cancer: 100 BILLION Dollars Was Spent On Cancer Drugs Last Year Alone. If you are an American, there is a 1 in 3 chance that you will get cancer during your lifetime.
If you are a man, the odds are closer to 1 in 2. And almost everyone in America either knows someone who currently has cancer or who has already died from cancer. But it wasn’t always this way. Back in the 1940s, only one out of every sixteen Americans would develop cancer.

At the end of 2005, Nate co-founded Inkling and got accepted into Y Combinator. Nevertheless, this didn’t stop Inkling from growing. Now Nate is a solo founder who is getting the word out by himself.
The opportunity lays in how fast he can move and make decisions. When we list our New Year’s resolutions, “be more productive” usually ranks a few levels below lose weight, get a raise and travel more.
