I think someone said it becomes debt. Not ideal for YC but not fraud either.

Please talk to someone about this, friend, parent, doctor. Consider all options including psilocybin.

You are no.1 on HN. Would be interested to see if this drives more customers for you than launch post!?

This is one of those interesting instances in which big tech copying a new startup has actually worked. The problem they had was most rooms were advertised on twitter. Now the Twitter Spaces integration means it's a one click for the o

Good post. Importantly you legally have to vote in Australia, whereas in US voting rights are actively being trampled on.

I think you need to google images of where we are locked down if you want to understand why it's only a minor annoyance. In Sydney you could be locked down in mosmon, manly, Bronte, Bondi, rushcutters, watsons Bay, Diamond Bay, coogee,

The USA might not treat Muslims well, but there have not been mass killings (in country - obviously there have been abroad). Anyone who wants to know more should google Srebrenica genocide, was the July 1995 genocide of more than 8,000 Bosn

This is money for convenience trade off. Just like some people pay double for food through uber eats. I use both the NHS and private healthcare. There is definitely an upper limit on this but if I can spend 10 minutes rather than an hour th

Great business model right there

Yep same here. I usually agree with the whole "your grandmother should get it" but don't think that applies here.

Oh it's live! That changes everything. I feel like your messaging copywriting on the website needs work. Most people don't read watch everything. What was your super short yc application summary?

My advice which holds true as an adult is to find stories that resonate. I learnt to read almost entirely reading books about football, all the way up to autobiographies at an early age. Now as an adult I read huge amounts of non-fiction bu

With regard to sharing a video of example class couldn't you set one up with paid signed off kids - they do this on Colbert all the time so there must be somewhere you can get these kids who don't mind being on TV?

Given how much time we have had and the demand why does Pfizer not just request government funds from all major economies to build factories in their jurisdictions?

It does look like Fella is addressing psychological issues which I think are huge. The issue if you deny that calories in v calories burnt is the essential metric is you end up with the problem with bariatric surgery where people literally

There's an MFM podcast with founder of Hubspot. He says something pretty sensible along the lines of the first $1m makes a huge difference to your life, the first $10m even bigger, after that it's irrelevant. The basic point being

The open floor plan thing was to make commercial real estate costs cheaper. Having individual offices requires 2x to 3x space. Then you have significant additional fit out costs - for example you now have to air condition say 1000 small spa

The issue with the open office is that any given time you can hear multiple conversations making it hard to concentrate on actual work.

I'm in this boat one hundred percent. Guess what happens when two hours a day isn't commuting. You spend more time with real friends rather than passing work acquaintances.

The problem is all down to the basic human need of a home. In the 70s and 80s even 90s someone on a teacher's salary could own their own home in a major world city - say London. Now, literally zero chance. Because homes have become an

Have you considered non dilutive funding like Pipe?

by donnythecroc 6y ago
This is great and I would expect most of the cost of the financing to be passed onto the customer. How did you give debt funders the reassurance to back your business as a startup?

Just to be clear your startup has $20m in revenue or VC? Either way sounds like you're doing a pretty great job as CEO and your CTO knows what they are doing too. Good job.
