Have you looked @ the startup visa? And let me add that I have an enormous amount of empathy for you...

Great post! Lesson: build multiple MVPs, quickly ship and see which stick, then let the market forces be your compass.

Chris, what you're saying is: not that MZ is awesome, he is super awesome! Because he is a billionaire without any talent or vision, and if you and I think we have talent and vision and got beaten by him, then who won? An idea w/o execution

Also, it's nice to be nice, whether you need somebody or not.

Being at the stage we're at things move/happen quick. I looked at our app recently and it looked dated - since the app we've had some game-changing developments (signed on 2 major customers - we're B2B etc.). It'd be cool if your s/w coul

Person of the year is not the same as "hero of the year". I think it has to do more with who wielded the greatest influence on the world that year (for better or for the worse). Iranian president was considered as well sometime ago (and he

Good point, Mike. This is not a call to action. Not sure if we share the same idea, but person of the year used to be a big deal. It reminded me of Pres Obama’s Nobel Prize, until which it used to be a deal too. Talk about brand value di

In your opinion did Mark Zuckerberg deserve "Person of the Year"?

Exactly! Teach anyone and explain the concepts to them. Go your local community college and volunteer at the math clinic, even better go to a local high school that's not been doing very well. Public school systems can use all the help they

Great attitude brother!

That’s a great start! I have faith in the concept rolling downwards from the top VCs into the minds of the rest. As founders we’re already a paranoid bunch, having one less (huge) thing to worry about is a breath of fresh air, allowing us t

This is very good to know! As a founder dealing with VCs I feel like a puppy that fell in a shark tank. It would be enormously relieving to know before a meeting that they are a) not trying figure out how to boot me out of my own company, b

There are a lot of responses to this question and I haven't read all of them, so I apologize if somebody has said this already, but the answer is dead simple: HN has gotten more popular! That's it. If I must state the obvious, this translat

Since when is benefitting oneself by adding value to something a bad thing or a "Machiavellian scheme"? This is what you need to do all day: figure out how to establish yourself inside your customer’s head, no matter where he or she is - g

I would like to commend Jason Fried on establishing a source of free and recurring advertising in a massively distributed publication that has had his target audience cornered for years. Not only is this free advertising, but it is the high

This is such a good move! It gives Google the nimbleness, hunger, and guerilla mentality of a start-up in new areas it wants to explore through these small mostly-autonomous teams, while simultaneously allowing it to defend the already capt
