It was brought up in a past discussion that TechStars are not exclusively seeding-stage and have close ties to VCs, which is something to be very wary about. If you take a look at their application, it's near-idenical to Y Comb's. If they c

It seems we're all coming to the same conclusion here: If the social scene, the necessity of travel, and girlfriends is even thought of as issues, perhaps this funding program really is _not_ for you. Perhaps, even, it may prompt you to rec

With ubiquitous interweaving technologies, it's always been difficult to clearly categorize the things we have on the web. Blogs as we know it in its purest form will "die", as Sterling puts it, but this is true for all the other terminolog

Their very public nature about "doing no evil" is one of their most marketable qualities. It's interesting that in the FAQ, they say they're also working on a way to let users opt _out_ of anonymity if desired.

It's a good realization of "release early and iterate." Provide something good for your users and then listen carefully to what they have to say. That's way, way better than hiding in development for an overextended period, hypothesizing --

I never really thought of praising effort in this way. The examples provided to use in lieu of praise makes normal human interaction seem so deliberate and robotic. The author seems to imply that simply acknowledging someone's talent makes

Productive advice was continually coming at Aaron even before an offer was extended. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

From what I understand, it's actually ideal to incorporate your startup rather than forming an LLC. One reason would be that many VCs won't fund your LLC given that you cannot go public. The SFGate article offers the other view. It might be

Most of these are clean, but I'm curious to know what some were thinking when completely following the Web 2.0 trend look. "Let's find the quickest way to sink our brand into non-distinctive mediocrity."

The downsides to something like this is absolutely context-dependent. But the reasons given in that post just aren't convincing. Going to Cambridge is not a "disruption" given the milestone it represents in your startup's progress. When you
