Start with defining your market and seeing if they need/want/can use your product. As an example, I am doing some work on my house and occasionally I need day laborers to help out. I thought it would be nice to have an Uber for Ho

Get out now! If the investors believed that the startup had legs, they would put more money in, not suggest cutting costs. Reducing salary is a huge red flag, and there is no upside for you with no equity. You'll never get the lost sal

The only problem: It’s really hard for a family of four to live in the Bay Area on just one income — even if it’s a great income In any of the prime real estate markets it's hard to live on one salary. That is not a problem unique to

The approximation is better in this case since you only have the results I return and you can't independently audit every section to see if I'm accurate. Say I return the 7 foot guy from each section, but one section only had a 6&

Why do they not allow the inspection of the results past 1,000 It's probably a lot more work sorting the 1000th best result than the top 10 or 100. Imagine a stadium full of people (your search results) and a guy at the podium asking

Les Paul guitars are actually nothing amazing either, and suffered from poor sales early on. Their success is mainly in the marketing, not in the engineering.

Imagine Guns 'N Roses rejecting Les Paul after an audition. The lead guitarist in the band plays Gibson Les Paul guitars, but you're not what we're looking for. Les Paul was an amazing guitarist in his own style but it would

Profit sharing is like someone renting out a house and giving you a percent of the rent. If they sell the house, or if no one rents, the gravy train stops. Equity is like someone giving you a percent ownership in a house. It won't put
