I think Tripnary is doing a great job at it, though probably failing because it's a hard business to start with (they haven't updated their app since last year)

Nice design, but tool already exists everywhere. So my question is: how will you differentiate yourself from the other 1000 budget trip planning tool other than a better interface? Also how will you acquire your users? Travel startups are o

love tech events and how technical they go. Anyone know the organizers of the event? I built a product that helps event-goers find places to sleep around the venue through a widget. Would be cool to get it out there with big events! Here&#x

Consequently, repeating something too many times is a flag to detect a lie. Amateur liars usually forget that rule. Good liars create doubt. Bad liars create certainty. However, the former knowns how to gain ppl's trust. You learn that

Does this research also consider actual real Brain training games like Elevate? It teaches you techniques like how to get better at estimating, improving your WPM, your thesaurus, etc. Nothing to do with memorizing a pattern or serving coff

They have way more competitors in that space, but I still use it because it's clean and bloat free.

Warm intro's work better, but I'd also wager that good cold emails work as good. For example; if you can connect with the writer about one his articles, and transition into your startup..this is a good 25% chance to get covered (a

That depends, for my sect, Shia, it's solely business profit. If no profit, then no Khums.

This is a good initiative. Muslims like me have to already give out a fifth (%20) of their earnings every year called Khums https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khums We also believe from numerous Hadith's that the money

I have a startup and want to raise money. It just feels like listing on Angellist won't do anything, and I'm better off doing "offline" (emails) traditional way of raising. It just feels like good deals are done through

You might hear an advice about going out to conferences or meetups and networking physically. For me this doesn't work as good. Believe it or not, emailing an author about their blog post is much better than randomly talking to someone

You seem to very much understand Stay22's business and product ! Very impressed! To answer you, yes Airbnb does know about us and did show interest. Can't comment more than that. I've been looking for an investor that believ

haha appreciate the roughness, but let me assure you I'm not quitting or look for an excuse to delay this. I'm looking for a quick solution instead of spending a month to re-build from scratch. Time that could be spent on partners

Hey Courtland - u make some good points let me address some of your points: 1- Caching won't help. It seems I'm being limited on just "map loads", up to 25k https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing

Of course, too much of anything is bad. At the end of the day to be a good listener, you need to listen.

This is why I come to HN..to find articles like this. This defies what you learn at school, because I have been taught numerous times, to nod and stfu when you're holding a convo. Always interrupt if you have something constructive to

Agreed, which is why getting into YC or something similar is very important.. that's how you'd get intro'ed to those CEOs for a round

Except you make those ideas sound easy to execute. How am I supposed to get a CEO's attention and trust to invest in my startup with just email?

You just say no man, it's that simple. Then you follow up with the reason.. (no, because I have a deadline for X project, and X gets delayed, we'll make less money..do you wanna make less money?) They hired you, so they trust you.
