Agree with edw519 on many points, but those suggestions are not a long-term solution. Take his advice as "hope" medicine for your current situation. But I wouldn't say keep waiting for green card and keep running your startup in the part-ti

What's up with these types of news lately where Founders are leaving their baby before taking it to the final destination or continuing the amazing journey? Few days ago it was RescueTime's founder, and now today it's Xobni. I'm more intere

I think the most important part is - "but the bigger benefit is you know how the entire system is architected and the code you’ve written impacts millions of people". Seriously, you feel empowered when you know why the system is architected

I think the correct title would have been - "Why I won't work at Microsoft, again.". I don't think it's a valid argument against Google without having any data-points. I've seen many Startups also don't finish their features/products and th

How does a startup approach/contact you if it's looking to raise funds? I understand you don't lead the rounds, but you might potentially introduce a startup to lead investors.

Fair enough. I totally believe that don't judge startups from where they are now, but judge them based on where they will be after few years. I just had a different experience when I met you the other day at Chirp and demoed our app. It was

Sometimes I'm more interested in knowing the thought process of PG and YC about why they decided to invest in such idea. What they see this as a business opportunity? Or technology opportunity? Or just big market opportunity? What is it tha

The title is so incorrect. Knowing maxklein is author of this blog, I thought it's his story when he has "My" in the title. He should say - "Someone's co-founder took his company and his girlfriend." Why people skew the titles so much, keep

Generally it goes to YC startups by default.

This sounds reasonable, but wouldn't I look like another "idea guy" if I keep bouncing off a list of different ideas to other entrepreneurs or VCs? Wouldn't they would like to see me being passionate about one market, one idea, have detaile

This is what I follow - 1. I create "Today's list". This is little different than "To-do" list. Today's list contains tasks that I want to finish today - with each task assigned some deadline. Tasks are quite detail tasks - which takes 1-2

What is interesting to note - the date of the article is "Feb 1, 2010". :) I guess Inc. released the article earlier than planned.

If the pie is big enough, then you'll have your share. It's unreasonable to expect you to own 100% of your market. So if the market is big, there can be many players. Even the idea/product is same, you can still have your own presence. Havi

Ideally it's not. But I've seen all YC alumni and founders upvote all other YC company related posts within very short amount of time. Just add (YC Year) in subject line, and it gets an upvote from other YC fellow. I guess everything is fai
