What is the price? I assume the price is in the 5-10k+/month range, which is a reasonable amount for data like this.

Do keep in mind the date when the actual investment happened is probably 2-5 months before the vcs had posted it on their site, especially for earlier rounds.

I'd read that same SE thread a while back and concluded that write protect drive switches is a good solution I could trust!

Write switches on SD cards are not hardware specific, the host can choose to ignore them, unfortunately.

I enjoyed the piece and it's long form content and flow - some of the descriptions of the people (of people I'd met, people I'd heard of many times and people I'd never known existed) were nice additional things in the s

There are many, many great companies of a certain age or size that will do yc for free. In fact, due to the equity piece companies are 'paying' to get into yc. If you are going for venture / seed funding, the stamp and brand

They are a company with real revenue that's growing and they think the publicity will sort of make up for it, so they don't end up losing too much on it. If yc does 5 nonprofits per batch, $500k is not a lot of money.

It makes no sense to spend any serious amount of time saving money on razor blades -- at total cost of ownership per year in the $100~200 range, the thing to maximize for is comfort and safety. If you get your blades for free but have a sma

Maybe I am not getting it, but to me react.js seems like a bad way of wrapping your view html in javascript. What can you do easier using react.js (and backbone) that you can't already do using knockout and plain html or whatever marku

I love that they even mentioned the simple interstitial API call! I wonder if they want to grow more revenue that way in the immediate future.

Fair enough. I suppose it depends on whether you're running a startup with revenues or not. I am operating from the assumption that by series A you're about at the 1m arr revenue level and your revenue + funding are funneling your

It is not really aggressive if you are planning on growing your company. Typically, a high growth oriented venture funded startup is looking to get about 12-18 months of runway from their funding, hit some metrics and get funded for series

I was underestimating the comp for google engineers just to prove the point. I strongly agree that working at google is better in terms of pure comp (though the longer term capital gain taxes do work out better than salary..)

WOTC's share distribution was interesting in the sense that it was terrible for the founder. What did work out well was Garfield's equity share, etc.
