Two team-centric acquisitions that Google has made in recent years: Aardvark and Slide. Both were cases of products that were mostly ahead of their time or just-off re: product-market fit, and had genius teams. As far as I know, the majorit

OP here. I think the combo of one-click unsubscribe and not sending a confirmation is perhaps a bit aggressive, and maybe it should be one or the other. Though to be honest, I am thrilled if sites have any one of the 4 (and some do).

I am a big fan of Kincaid's style. At least from my interactions with him, he has always taken time to actually learn about your product and why it's special or different. Will be interesting to see what he does next. His departure also spe

If any Etsy employees are reading, I am curious about why it took nearly 7 years to add direct checkout to the site -- Paypal is not known for being particularly kind to either buyers OR sellers, though perhaps there were all sorts of scali

Is there perhaps an argument for financial activism here? While it wouldn't be super significant, let's say you bought 1000 shares of Honeywell and shorted it today. You continued this type of action for software patent litigation in the fu

A summary for those who don't have 18 minutes: 1. Excellent introduction and overview of the debate by Chris Hayes 2. NBC General Counsel makes three interesting (cringe-worthy) points: -jobs -this only applies to international sites -the

I called the NYC office. I think the regional offices are a bit less swamped. No answer in DC.

I asked twice. The first time he said "censor the internet" and then I think he heard the shock in my voice when I asked him to repeat and he said "he is in favor of censoring illegal content." So perhaps worthy of a clarification.

The call wasn't recorded and I did not get the person's name. I took clear notes and asked him to repeat that the Senator is in favor of "censoring" illegal content, which he confirmed. The way he said "censor" really made my skin crawl - i

That is what I thought, except that I was one on the other end of the phone. I asked each question twice. He repeated the answers twice: -in favor of "censoring" illegal content on the internet -has talked to zero constituents in favor of t

The person speaking now has pointed out that there are 5 people in favor of the bill and only 1 speaking against it. She also lamented the fact that there are zero technical experts speaking.

I wish Simple would consider supporting all ATMs, not just in-network ones. And by supporting, I mean reimbursing all ATM-related fees. Ally does this. Although Ally is a bank rather than a front-end-for-a-bank, this feature has become incr

Founder salaries vary wildly depending on amount raised, whether the company is profitable or even generating revenue and the stage of the company. Some people pay themselves $1k/month and some pay themselves $15k/month. I figured $4k/month

In the beginning, people costs are where most of your money goes, by far. Whether you have employees or contractors, human capital will cost you the most. For a typical $500K seed round, here is my breakdown for 12 months of expenses. Feedb

Even if they did have a public email address [pitch@venturefund.com] or something like that, chances are slim that you would get a reply from a cold email/deck. This isn't specific to LV but true of most, if not all, venture funds. Ask a ra
