Now I am curious: What does the HN audience think? Should he put bio #1 or bio #2 on their companies about page?

I would recommend #2, the "Harvard" version.

(I ask because we are discussing EXACTLY the same thing at the moment, only with Stanford instead of Harvard :-)

If I were talking to someone, I'd give #1. If I were writing to someone, I'd write #3. If someone told me #2, I would hear "I am a loud person with no soul and I am going to try to sell you something. Please interpret everything I am about to say through that lens."

For the About page I'd probably go with a modified version of #3 myself... but then again I too am pretty reluctant about self-promotion and would rather talk about what excites me now than what I did 5 years ago.
