The idea is there would be a paid tier of tutorials, art assets, game templates, and other goodies. Eventually we’d like to become a publisher of sorts, spotting the promising games that are being developed by the community.

Well I'm doing both. Like many of my intended audience, I'm doing it part-time (nights and weekends), while working on Quiver doing during the day. It's progressing quite steadily and over the last 10 years, I have learned to

Wow, this resonates so much that I'm building a company around the idea of finishing games. I was a professional game developer over a decade ago. I used to try to build games on the side and I never got anywhere. I just messed around

I'm all for removing the broken system we have today, but a single payer system doesn't remove the challenge that the entrepreneur faces - it just changes it. Under single payer, you are now trying to sell to a large government or

I think people are being a little too hard on the author. Startups in healthcare are hard . Been there, done that, have the t-shirt (literally, that's all that left). I even made the same fatal mistake - not identifying who the buyer

Hey, I can relate to this! I also started a company based on a specific pain point in my spouse's profession. Although the best situation is to solve a problem you've experienced firsthand, having a significant other be able to gi

Not impossible, but very difficult. It's pretty much impossible at big banks. When my company was bootstrapped to $250k/year in revenue (with several years of history), Bank of America wouldn't even extend a $10,000 line of c

This is a very poor article. College is, on average, worth it [1]. What the article tries to articulate is that we're not seeing a comparable return on investment for students from lower-income families. This is tied to worse graduatio

I think the 2% metric refers to all users from top of the funnel to paying customer. I've always found the metrics in this deck helpful: https://www.slideshare.net/totango/2012-saa-s-conversions-be... .

It’s not wrong, but if you have the opportunity, why not generate interest and get customers as early as possible? We’ve had success convincing institutional customers to agree to purchase even before we've built the product. You get v

I'm guessing the CEO wasn't a product person? Expecting to launch with a perfect product is just not going to end well. I view the waitlist as a way to get a basic idea to a broad audience and both validate your idea and iterate q

Yeah, it's a tough one. Like most startup advice, the right answer should be "it depends". For me, I try to gauge whether the product and customer acquisition can be generalized. If both can be, which seems to be true in your

"Grow even before you launch" and "Go big or go home" really resonate with me. We were able to sign up a few thousand people to our new product waitlist through two main channels: exhibiting at conferences and answering

Interesting article! If you're thinking about targeting consumers in edtech, there's a lot of good advice in here. My company mainly sells to medical students, which are a highly incentivized group of consumers, so we can avoid so

I agree that the products get more expensive, although I like the idea of centralizing some of these data-driven marketing efforts through our analytics. Otherwise you have to buy 10 different tools and get them all to talk to each other.

I'm a Mixpanel customer and this is very interesting. Mixpanel suggests the main thing to do with this data is messaging the users that are likely to convert, but I'm more interested in finding out what are the indicators that mak
