I want to start a dipshit company and later sell to Google for $25 million.
Came across this hilarious Quora answer:
Recruit 3 current Google engineers, at least one of which is known for leading a high-profile product.
Do Y Combinator.
Get investment from Ron Conway.
Setup an office on University Avenue with a big sign outside everyone will see.
Get a short catchy domain name; even if you have to spend $1 million to get it, it will be worth it when you get your $25 million.
Do whatever it takes to get one TechCrunch writer to fall in love with your product.
Release an alpha product that has a nice user interface and some aspect that feels like innovative technology. But make it clear that it's just an alpha so you don't care about getting a ton of users or making money.
Sell your dipshit company for $25 million.

- veb 16y agoI must admit I laughed out loud at the title of this... but then that turned into a frown. I'm starting my own bootstrapped startup because 1) I want to make a name for myself 2) I want to tell people I actually did something successful. All I want from the end product? Enough money to buy a house, mortgage free. :)
