That’s not even true. Aside from the U.K. and Estonia, I can’t think of an European country where 1) it costs less than $1K to incorporate 2) you can do it online 3) You can DIY Italy, Germany and SwitzerlanD just to pick 3 I’m familiar wit

I mean $10K it’s like a website w content for US audiences and getting 1K readers a day for a year - depending on the niche you could make even more. It’s not that hard. Not easy. But not hard either. For example posting on relevant Faceboo

That’s very cool. Where did you get the spores? Resources for the whole process?

I would suggest using webflow instead of Wordpress for a variety of reasons. I can help w making it look pretty cool too if you want, for free. In that case hmu francesco@whitepinefinance.com

I have a question: at a previous startup we emailed and called small and micro businesses in NY-SF-LA to sell an SMS marketing service. Kinda like messagebird but not for developers. Basically a web app to be able to send a list of numbers

Hi! I have 3 questions: 1) how much, in total, excluding your own hours, did the regulatory compliance stuff cost to launch just 1 product in 1 state? 2) how much would it cost to launch that same product in 50 states? 3) since you didn’t

Quantum computing, like AGI, will be 10 years away, maybe a couple more centuries. 3D printers are pretty insignificant atm. Space x and Tesla are the exception.

When only two guys were (mainly) responsible for (pushing) what you said, namely SJ and EM with the internet and the electric car+energy storage respectively, it’s telling. Besides it’s just three things. There’s absolutely no excuse on wh

It is a matter of fact that the reason we’re not flying commercially x5 as fast is NOT an engineering problem. Ditto for reusable rockets before Elon. Ditto for electric cars before Tesla. In those cases, it’s just complacency. And there a

This hasn’t been the case in my experience. I previously started a company in crypto in early 2017(so as hot as it gets), gained traction, and received literally just one organic VC inquiry. Ditto with my current insurtech company. I’m curi

1. Almost all the capital is in SF/NY. Move accordingly. Good luck with the Visa- it’s going to be a PITA 2. Have founders who raised capital as friends. Good luck with that too! 3. Now if you have a decent looking product and a plausi

What’s the point of slides with very small fonts? What’s the point of aesthetically pleasant slides when the UI it’s a drawing and looks horrible? But most importantly, what’s the point of this product? Quite simply, it will never work.

Of course. It’s not an apple to Apple comparison, it’s just to point out those returns are possible. Also, would you rather have invested your salary from 2003 to 2020 not leveraged or always leveraged x3, bust in 2008, and then cash out to

You might not know how funds work? You don’t try to get the best returns, with quite a bit of risk. You try to get the best returns with zero risk of losing all the money. You get paid 2% + 20% of profits. If you lose all the money you lose

The nasdaq 100 leveraged x3 on a daily basis returned like 50%+ YoY during the last decade. And that’s an index. Buffet himself said he could return 50% YoY consistently with a small(ish) amount of money. (He manages like half a trillion) t

Given the timing, network effects, potential, address book data and $0 CAC, they were stealings and I can’t believe Honey sold for $4B. Sounds off by x5+

Even if the data is highly valuable and it’s not losing money, I don’t see how it’s worth $4B with 17M users. Sounds off by like x5

It would be cool if he specified what he was going to work on. Current narrow AI is all about data and computer power but I don’t see AGI coming out of more data / more power anytime soon.

Less people will bother to like posts. Aka less organic reach. It has been demonstrated that a post with more likes is more likely to be liked. Advertisers buy fake likes just for that very same reason on their ads.

Makes you wonder. 10~ very close calls is as rare as say 50cent surviving 10 shots. What are the odds?

This got me thinking. Gold, land and art. Bitcoin might be as valuable as gold. Is there anything else that is valuable today? I’d say flying vehicles. But then, why do they depreciate so much upon purchase while Hermès bags appreciate? Bec

This is sadly likely to be the case but the sample size is too small to say for certain.
