Yeah, thanks for the inspiration to write the answer, I think I'll put this in a blog post on CM soon. We want to tell the story of CM AND CL, but are trying not to confuse our story by saying too much at once.

What we're trying to do with our SimpleLicense is to not create one license that covers all usage scenarios, but cover most of them in one license... and then we will be adding others for things like resale & distribution. So yes, give

We're trying to simplify licensing. That means having to make some calls as to what can fit in a single license and what falls outside. We will add an additional license that allows for resale soon. But if somebody is buying a template fro

I have a guilty pleasure for playing with words. I think it's clever and makes me smile. Sorry it doesn't for you.

Two issues. 1. The definition of "rich". I've responded here that I mean a level of comfort that is better than 99% of the rest of the world. Not necessarily millions of dollars. 2. Yes, a large percentage of millionaires are self-made... B

"What kind of argument is that?" Not a very strong one. I wasn't trying to argue, but rather suggest a new perspective. That out of the very few who strike it rich founding startups, there are many more who have earned a good salary and sa

Could be any of those. "Rich" is able to live comfortably with no financial stress. For some that is a small home in a village somewhere off the grid spending their days fishing. For others it is millions of dollars. But generally, I thi

You talk about what goes on behind closed doors, but provide no proof that you actually know what goes on behind those doors. As a YC alum, Mentor with 500 Startups & PIEPDX and friend of the family to Techstars... This post couldn't b

My bad. Mistyped. He specifically said they didn't focus on $ in the app. Yes there is a question that asks about it. (We review applications too), But that isn't a core focus in the application. And its a bit ironic to tell me no to assume

So wait. You note that nowhere in your YC application do they specifically ask you about money stuff. But, you talked to some YC Alums before the interview and they all asked you about $. And since you didn't get selected you now assume tha

Envato is great and does a lot of things well. We see a lot of opportunities in providing a service that is more affordable, more fair to the sellers & simpler to understand licensing. We're also building in easy integrations to allow

Everything I said in the post. Get prepared... then create your profile on Angel.co and then work it.

Where are you located? I think when you're fundraising you have to go where the money is. Plan to spend a few weeks in the Valley driving up and down the 280 (avoid the 101 it sucks). You can use technology and services like Angel.co to m

And you were there supporting me when I couldn't even get any kind of coverage on a blog like TC... So thanks for everything.

This argument only works when comparing a Prius to a Corolla... Which is the entry level bottom tier sedan from Toyota. I think it would be a bit more fair to use the Camry as the alternative car. I'm a Prius owner and I didn't decide to s
