You could do the same kind of thing that yCombinator is doing now. Accept the best and the brightest, train them for a couple years. Let them develop products inside the school by providing them contacts, advice, etc. Then take a percentage

Haha, well at least you fixed the 'not enough applications problem'! I would have submitted but I can't move this summer, although I think just getting feedback from yCombinator would be worth it to me. To bad time is your most precious com

I think a sat program would be great. You could have local incubators that take proposals, pick the teams, and fund them but that also 'plug into' yCombinator for connections and such. That would allow the system to scale and allow people w

It's interesting that you can take a look at their code to see how they pull of the synchro. Startup founders, start your photocopiers!

I think Ruby would be a great way to attack something like that. That fact that you can sit at such a high level with Ruby allows you to build great things. Besides, Rails makes you so much more productive than anything else I've tried, if

This is something that I've been interested in for awhile. I tried to set up a system that would target ads to users based on the information that I had in my own database instead of what was on a specific page. If your pages require a user

I suppose it depends on your product really, if you're storing credit card numbers you'll need to think about what you are responsible for legally, which can change from state to state. That being said, if you're doing some kind of social a

I've read alot about 37Signals and quite a few people have said that it's a really bad idea to compete with them. I'm personally not afraid, but I wondered if anyone had any input on that subject. The things I've heard are that you never wa

If that wasn't your goal, if you just wanted to start a business because you wanted to run your own business, should you look for other types of funding? Are you basically out of luck with most professional investors?
