- jmtame 16y agoI didn't see this before, but this is pretty cool. If you're interested in this kind of stuff, Noah gave an in-depth interview and talked about some of his other strategies in the Startups Open Sourced book I just posted on HN 2 days ago. Noah managed to get the largest discount I've given to anyone--and probably ever will give to anyone. It's going to be featured on AppSumo.com Thursday, so watch for that if the $20 seemed too high.
- shadowsun7 16y agoDoes anyone here know which of his proposals made it through? For instance: 80,000 users in 6 months - did that happen? This is a brilliant document, by the way, and I'm grateful for this repost - I didn't catch it the first time it was posted to HN.
- swalkergibson 16y agoThis is a pretty neat article, but none of it really seems like rocket science. As far as I can tell, it just validates Fred Wilson's post regarding a startup's marketing budget (http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/02/marketing.html http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/02/marketing.html). Would anything listed in that document have mattered a hill of beans if Mint's product was atrocious?
