   Quick feedback "Offer me a place at your startup" I like this better: "Let me show you how great of a fit I'd be for your team" or something along those lines..

   Great blog post Matt. I've been using jMockups on and off and I really like it. I'm a designer and it really speeds up the process of iterating through ideas. That being said, Matt, it'd be awesome(for you, as marketing material perhaps) if

   Jasber, thanks for building this. You're really really making it easy for me to find a great name for my projects.

   Do #2 first, to validate your idea. This will help you better persuade your tech cofounders to take the plunge and join you guys. At least it helped me! After that's up, start learning programming. Rails or Django should do fine. Just get a

    +1 on that. I also got into Taskforce recently and am really liking it.

    Hi. It really depends, if you want to do it yourself it can be significantly cheaper. I paid less than $100 for the incorporation of my company(c-corp). I'm a solo founder, so I didn't have to deal with partnership agreements and such. As r

    I use IndexTank for my startup(pilarhq.com), and search is the single most important thing for us. Seriously, IndexTank is terrific. Not only is their product pretty fast and provides great search which you can integrate in your app in a ma

    Would you mind elaborating on that? Staying at a Hackerhouse is relatively inexpensive(~550/mo). Food? ~700. Cali Taxes are, of course very high, but I don't see how SF is less expensive than Boston/NYC. Then again you could get by with $2k

    Yeah, I hear you. Now in that case, I'd make it extra easy..for instance, when we had a bug and that problem was thrown at us with Chalkboard, we offered another month free(as it's a paid app). @FollowWithoutContactInfo: CHALKBOARDHQ.com SU

    Hey, thanks for the comment. Perhaps, I didn't address that issue well...I never said $200k/year or having 3000 followers is wrong. There are VC's that throw 200k at startups each year that have 50 followers - seen it myself haha. The core

    Hey Diego. You know what's funny, I use IndexTank for PilarHQ.com(it's an app which really depends on search). I can't tell you how much you having Olark on IndexTank has helped me implement IndexTank. I've had a few issues, and have spoken

    Haha, good one. Trust me, I'm a HUGE fan of businesses charging for stuff as I run two B2B apps myself. Businesses are consisted of people, money doesn't really make the business go round, the people running it do. A business making just

    I use Olark...but I like to think it's more of a sales tool. Then again, some of you will argue that support can be used as a sales process; I don't care how big/small of a company you run, customer service is probably the single most impor
