It could be about optics. They might prefer people direct their anger at a random non-existent stranger for paying above face value than have them direct their anger at Stubhub. That said, shifting blame for high prices isn't a new pro

This is really interesting, because I had the same experience happen to me yesterday (the domain was emeraldsummitadvisors.com). I didn't find much discussion about it, but one theory I saw was that for high-value tickets Stubhub will

SF specific anecdote - I had a radical idea while walking up Divisadero last week. What if we removed Divisadero and Geary St. and built apartments where the road is today. You'd have European style narrow streets for pedestrians and c

Thanks for writing this, one of your quotes "Founders often hold too tightly onto solutions and too loosely onto problems" really resonated. If someone were evaluating their next opportunity to tackle, would you recommend they foc

That seems questionable, how can they charge you with obstruction when you can just not answer any questions you're not legally obligated to answer.

What are ways this can be bet on since these are non-public companies? So far I've identified: 1. Commercial real estate. Could take a short position on any public companies (ex. CBRE) though they're likely too diversified to driv

I'm impressed by their plan to 5X their top-line in one year and improve their margin at the same time (which would indicate either raising prices or reducing subsidies).

Location density of the deliveries has got to have a massive impact on their effectiveness. I'm highly skeptical of their ability gather groceries and deliver to 5 separate locations within 1 hour. Even in a dense area where it's

This is exactly what I've been looking for since Parse announced they were suspending their service. I've been taking a wait and see approach to migrating until something easy to use comes out and this looks like it might be it.

Really cool of First Round to share this data. Whenever I see interesting data it makes me ask more questions and these are some of the things I'm wondering about after reading the post. Female founders outperforming male teams: My hun

Not necessarily. As other people have pointed out, Uber's business model, margins, and valuation are based on shifting their costs onto their drivers (especially the capital costs of vehicles). Switching to driverless raises the questi

One cool innovation I've seen is converting from a % upfront model to a % recurring model (Ex. instead of 25% upfront convert to 2% over 12 months). It benefits start-ups because they don't have a large cash outlay at once and ali

Current valuation should be based on future revenue projections. If you assume a 10X multiple they'd need $450M ARR to justify $4.5B which implies growing 22.5X ($20M * 22.5 = $450M). Last report I saw pegged their number of customers

Interesting approach to helping students find work. From an employers point of view, I'd think most college students are interchangeable for entry-level work and student demand would outstrip employer supply, what's the incentive

I would recommend The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. Whether or not you agree with the rule in the book, I found all of the historical examples and anecdotes interesting to read on their own. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

There was a great article in the New Yorker about police interrogation techniques and how they can influence people to confess to crimes (and the studies that explain why people would falsely confess). [1] http://www.newyorker.com

Additional thought, you could put a unique promo code on the senders copy (code tied to their account) where if they buy X credits they get Z free.

Assuming the marginal cost of printing an extra card is fairly small, have you considered sending a copy of the card to the sender? Unless the recipient provides some sort of feedback the sender doesn't really get anything to show for
