It depends. The lady in this article wants to avoid the army of lawyers on the other side, so a quick resolution for her small claims conflict makes sense. I agree that public policy matters need the right to appeal.

The problem with litigation, even if affordable in the first round, is that it can be appealed and the judgment is only recognized and enforced in the jurisdiction of the court. Compare this with low cost arbitration: Internationally recogn

Make sure to use an affordable arbitration institution. I am launching judge.me in a few days, offering $299 email arbitration service that is legally binding in 146 countries.

Prateek, I think it would help SupportBee if you mention you already have another cash flow cow on autopilot.

Could people from the Hong Kong startup community please comment on HK vs Shanghai for doing a startup? I've lived in HK during my student exchange and loved every minute of it - I also have an employee working from Hong Kong. At some point

Instead of selling "John Smith, Incorporation Lawyer at $100/hour" you make it "Incorporation Package, $495". In other words, moving from selling YOUR time (service) to selling a solution (productized service).

Love this post and I am doing this in my current startup. The best way to bootstrap a business is to sell a service without selling your name.

I agree that something in the cap table has to give, but I don't think it's founders. It's investors. Psychologically, I would also make sure those "early employee founders" really risk something; even if it's just securing $20K of their sa

His foreign policy is non-interventionist, not isolationist. There is a big difference and this is a common misunderstanding.

Would be easy to add a 20 second interval for <$10 payments between the same parties. This way you'd spend over 3 minutes trying to save $0.25

So you assume the VC's only scored a 1x on this deal and had no special treatment for their preferred shares such as accrued dividends, liquidity preference, participating preferred, etc?

I'd like for this service to take off. People spend much more on eating out than on hotels, so an AirBnb for meals makes a lot of sense. Just pick one area of London and market the hell out of it. Make sure there is a variety of food styles

Both TradeHill and MtGox stated a couple of months ago that they were the two largest clients of Dwolla. Than Dwolla did chargebacks and SHTF in the Bitcoin world.

What patio11 is saying is that Dwolla underestimated the scam potential by accepting payments with are rechargeable and giving non-rechargeable "digital cash" in return. Basics of the scam: Deposit in Dwolla, buy Bitcoins on an exchange, se

They will for sure pay you $2M in 12 months. The options this deal gives them make it extremely profitable to seek outside investors to lend them 2 million for a few years.

An IPO gets underwritten by investment banks, so the Groupon founders will get their money anyway.

People here arguing that the US should accept more immigrants from all over the world because "the US has been built on immigrants" need to get their facts straight: The "National Origins Formula" was only abolished in 1965. Before 1965, US

$50K is peanuts for a business that is growing. It's the cost of employing an engineer for 4 months. Honestly if a business isn't planning on investing $50K, why would the US want it? Start your internet business outside the US, than apply

Are these figures inflation adjusted? Tax bracket creep is a big effect that can't be ignored.

Sure, if you are in fact a non-profit. Everybody is allowed to receive the occasional donation (pretty generous of Paypal, as they don't charge commission on that), but if you build a "business of receiving donations" you need to proof you

I actually think Dropbox has a very sexy business model. It's the Silicon Valley darling with the least amount of flaws in the business model, imo. Too many others need to police their users to take their cut, e.g. AirBnb.

Impressive that Dropbox only raised 7.2 million before this round.

A lot of web apps are very basic from a development point of view. Sure you need a doctor if you are very ill, but plenty of people can self-diagnose smaller problems using the internet.

You scored a 2 out of 4 on the most common insults that are quickly losing their value: Racist, homophobe, sexist, ageist.
