Firstly what is your product or service? It probably makes a difference who you would choose. For example, if you have subscription payments then Google Checkout isn't in your space (yet). PayPal is an obvious one and I think you can hear

I agree that it looks a bit suspicious but the content is still interesting. Its a few years old now, so he's not giving any information to his competitors that will hurt him, so good for him. There is something similar here from Ultraedi

If you are still doing consulting, do you need your clients to come to your office? If so, will a 'cooler' office space impress them more, get you more business? If the answer is no, then save your money and go for a different space. Do you

I used to lecture at Northumbria where Ive studied. Everyone who knew him said he was a really reserved and pleasant guy who just truly loved to design. I think that Apples success lends itself substantially to this guy and his creative ski

Unfortunately this is just all about money. If you read the history of Icahn - especially in the 80's - he was/is a tenacious corporate raider who is more than happy to take a company, split it into component parts and sell it all for a pro

I've not tried it yet, but we have to do a particular distributed crawler app for something and it's been recommended to look at it. For me if a language is amazing at something then it would be prudent to focus on that. I often use more

Google. It started and grew completely via word of mouth. Whilst Yahoo and others were spending big $ on advertising, Google quietly grew and grew. Granted, it only happened because they had a much better product (search) than anyone else,

I majored in Business (with marketing) in 1994. The one thing I learned from business school was problem solving. When I accidentally became involved in software, and more later web apps, it was obvious to me that I needed to learn to code

Too true :) Pleased you enjoyed it

No, its because you're 80 years old! Just kidding. I think that the people attracted to Startup School might be more suited to younger people partly for networking. I didn't feel the need to go as I knew that it would be online afterwards

Urghhh, I'm British and can't stand stuff like this. I got off my ass and went to San Jose and San Francisco on my own, met people via online networking and found it very successful.

A few years ago I discovered yoga and meditation. I used to be a really sporty guy but I'm amazed at how healthy I feel from the yoga (and good eating) but the meditation and learning to breathe properly have had amazing benefits. I would

It has worked well for me. 8 years ago I met a Russian guy in a forum and we've created several products together and been reasonably (though not stratospheric) successful. We only met, for the first time, two years ago. Sometimes it come

I second the "do it yourself" process. You'll learn a lot from it and nobody but you truly understands your business like you do. It's not rocket science, but it can be hard work getting the inbound links. The first priority is definitely

Well, the release early and release often mantra still stands. Make something basic but that works well and get it out - tell people about it. Tell us about it. Take the feedback you get and if you agree adopt it and grow this way. Run a

There are LOADS of companies like this. I run a few small ones myself that generate good revenue. Software-related is our www.sourceguardian.com site. Like most things we solved a problem for our own needs and then turned it into a produ

Hi there. If you have a good idea, then do it - there are LOADS of companies that make good money out there. You may not have heard of them, but they pay the bills for their founders and a whole lot more. Here's an interesting, if possibl

Hi there. This guy is probably very busy. I myself receive emails and sometimes send a holding email when I know I'm maxed and can't reply for a day or so. Also, many people don't work weekends.

Because I'm interested in startups, in commerce and not everyone can run a company. I provide employment to people and a social responsibility via my own and my companies actions. That's just for starters!

I have created a good growing company that leaves me financially independent anyway - on a monthly basis at least - and I can continue to do other things also. I think this attitude of short-term gain misses out that success is a journey an
