Check the story of dropbox. This is one approach to test your idea. If it succeed, things get much easier.

I would say you put yourself at risk to have wasted the 5 to 6 months of programming. For some applications the risk is low or the possible loss acceptable. A preferable approach is if you can test the business/app soundness before investin

I don't feel this is a good presentation. Text is too small in many places. The solution is not made obvious from the graphic. What I found original and nicely intuitive is the way to show fragmentation of the playground field. But it is mi

Maybe a difference could be made in how they explain how they did it. It might be possible to share some valuable lesson learned without exposing the business. I personally find valuable to see examples of people next to me who managed to

Startup life expectancy is determined by its financial income (investment not included). This is only loosely linked to the smartness of its members or the energy and effort they put into developping and running the business. The equation i

Is beeing rich the only goal of an entrepreneur ? It that was true the world would be full of depressed people. I would suggest to pick a goal that is achievable to avoid a persistant frustration later. Another point is that the impression

How does YC do it then ? From far away it looks like investing in an idea or a team. Don't understand me wrong, I'm also convinced bootstrapping is the preferred way to go if we can afford it.

The reason I prefer using chrome than firefox is that I get freeze when viewing a video. I don't see them with chrome. But I prefer firefox's management of memorized passwords.

That's what I find confusing about the Titanium web site. No clear specification of what we get for free and what we can do with it. Is the studio free or not ? How does it depend on the could and analytics ?

What is unclear to me is what YC will do with these "no idea people" ? Does YC intend to throw ideas at them and see what happens ? Will these people be invited to join YC funded startups ? Without this information it is difficult to check

Become a startup entrepreneur if you "want to change the world" is not the same as "to change the world". I also would not block on the word "change". To me it means providing a significant contribution to the world evolution. There is some

Agree. The question I ask myself is what truth do we get from such survey ? It depends on the people who are responding to the survey. This is just probing. What about product user feedback and product optimization based on the feedback ? A

Your design puts too much emphasis on the points. It is important but by far not the most important.

This looks like a strange and risky deal. I've heard someone in Germany making a similar deal. He sold his company mostly in shares of the buyer's company. Then came the 2000 bubble and the shares had not worth anymore. The next year the I

The problem wih upfront selling is the risk to not be delivered. Some buyers are not really aware of the risk. The amount of money in play is quite low but the disapointment will be as big as the initial expectation. If everything goes well

A social network dedicated for musicians can't yield any blame on you. Musicians need visibility. You would provide it for free and take a small cut on the one who get traction and earn money from it. It sounds to me like a fair deal. This

AFIK ARM processors don't support misaligned word access. AFIK misaligned word access is twice slower than aligned word access (requires 2 reads). So I don't understand "offers it for free". But this is still twice faster than the example
