Agreed. $150K is basically enough for you to move to the Bay Area (or pay rent) for 3 months + salaries + expenses, possibly hire some folks, while you're going through the program. The way I read it, it's bridge financing until D

Profitable with $5k in monthly revenue? Profitable needs to cover market salaries and all expenses, IMO. Maybe Ramen profitable.

Starting something from nothing and running it yourself, this agency, is a reason in itself to start something. I think it shouldn't be understated that many of us start things because we want to, not because we want to become billiona

100% agreed. This is what my company uses ES for, and it's exceptional at it.

We host a smallish (12 large node) cluster ourselves on AWS, and it's been nothing but SUPER SOLID for us. Literally 0 issues in the year. We use it for analytics, aggregations and the like, as well as domain-specific search, for which

The touchbar is garbage, why for the love of all that is good does Apple continue investing in it, having found 0 killer apps for it?

This is great advice. I run a B2B SaaS and we were lucky enough to run bizdev and product dev paths in parallel, so we weren't stuck with the wrong product and no customers, instead, we had the customers to iterate on the wrong product

@nate curious why you're leaving Highrise? You mentioned it's making millions for Basecamp, and it sounds like it's not shutting down -- were you looking for more substantial revenue/growth in order to stick around?

Thanks for sharing this. I'm by no means successful in SaaS, but I've been running a niche healthcare SaaS for a few years, and our experience is similar. Especially when you're talking about higher-priced SaaS offerings - th

This doesn't address the massive bloat that ads add to the website. I don't mind seeing ads when I browse the internet. I do mind having websites load for 10 seconds because 20 different ad networks are loading their iframes.

Why can't a camera be software? Top 5 cameras on Flickr are iPhones. Software is eating the world, including photography.

Pivoting with same indications can be done, but I agree, if you have a Class II or god forbid Class III device, and you change your indications, you've got to redo much of your 21CFR11 documentation. I built a Class I device that event

outsourcing works when you and your devs are aligned, you have a tech owner on the client side and regular checkins from all parties. What doesn't work, and never worked, is throwing loose specs over the wall and expecting the next Ins

Observation 5: "Documents were not reviewed and not approved by designated individual(s) prior to issuance." this one is the most damning. FDA gave them the opportunity to correct this, and they sat on it for a year. The culture o

I chose what I wanted out of life, and moved to a place that had the most of that (great food, good weather, reasonable cost of living and a growing startup ecosystem). I lived in SV for a few years (2007-2009). It was great. I live in Port

we currently use 9.4 beta, and it's been rock solid for us. We chose it because of the jsonb data type. JSONB has been a great fit for the type of work that we needed it to do.

Maybe anecdotal, but I think many who use google apps for domains use a native email client -- mail.app, outlook, maybe even thunderbird. Certainly very few on iOS use the gmail ui, apps or not. Certainly I do, and most people I work with.

collaboration in radiology requires at least a viewer, up to this point they partnered with companies like DICOM Grid to provide that functionality. The other thing you'd need is to reach into the infrastructure, behind the firewall an

MedXT is not a viewer. It's an exchange product with a viewer. Large COs like GE (Siemens), Fuji, McKesson, are not even close to having the exchange capabilities like MedXT. It's a super strategic move for Box to buy them, Radiol
