Your assertion that people can't raise money easily elsewhere is wrong. Just because you had one singular data point about your own experience does not create a truth, nor does my experience in raising a large-sized convertible note in

To be fair, I always thought the Contour was miles ahead in form factor and usability, it's a shame that they weren't able to continue to compete with GoPro. Edit: a couple of links: http://www.businessweek.com/art

Countries can prevent markets from being utilized to off-load those fish. It's not entirely preventable, but it can be made difficult enough to not be profitable. The sad, unfortunate, fact is that some countries' (Japan, China,

An S-Corp is little different than an LLC in that sense in that it's a pass-through, and an LLC may make more sense in some situations. (And certainly cheaper to get rolling properly than an S-Corp.) But, it still wouldn't matter

I don't pay myself anything because I'm currently the only one funding the company. As it's a C-corp, that would result in double-taxation of my own dollars in theory (and in an LLC it'd make no effing sense). I earned e
