What steps would you take to make sure Pinboard is taken to the next level?
Where would the money go? Would you consider investing, assuming you get the funding, at least $1m into a $plashy landing page?
Finally, what is your strategy (and God help you if you do not have it) towards convincing potential investors to give you $80m and not think about the revenue?
- idlewords 11y agoFor Pinboard, the next level is 'get an office and a sysadmin'. Spending $1M on a landing page sounds like a fun challege. If that pledge makes people invest, I'm happy to make it. I realize that having revenue makes many investors uneasy. If that remained a stumbling block, I would consider moving to some kind of free plan.

- idlewords 11y agoIt's a delicate question. There's an irresistible temptation to spend lavishly once you pass the $40 psychological milestone. I don't want to make the same mistake YCombinator made.
