There is no definition of 'seed', so I'm not sure where you're getting these ideas. Seed is just pre-Series A. I am a YC W13 founder and I just raised a 'seed' round. Our investors signed the paperwork as a &#x

You're mistaken, almost all of them are seed-stage, minus one. You can issue stock whenever you want. But I realize that your point is that you'd prefer due diligence and transparency on terms before using a site like WeFunder. Th

No, rather it's that as a founder you have limited time to expend, and spending effort getting traction will have a much larger return than trying to optimize for the various requests of angel investors. There are also enough quality i

Most early stage deals, like the ones you'll find on WeFunder or AngelList, typically do not have valuations or financials to share simply because it's too early on for a company to seriously offer that. Why waste time putting tog

Private funding, industrial innovation, etc. Subsidized infrastructure does not practically promote risky endeavors. It's created the side effects mentioned in the original article.

It's inefficient and creates negative externalities.

I know this sounds like rationalization, but I think we see it more like, "If we're doomed to suffer in a system where everyone is suffering, why not work to try to improve it and fix the problem instead?" In other words, if

3 out of 6 of Microryza's current team are graduate school dropouts. Technically, you could add 1.5 more (Ethan Perlstein left academia, I never started), so 4.5 out of 6. We've all been there. I think you have to either be purpos

Something something a smart man knows he knows nothing... Perhaps part of it is a personal predisposition to be able to face a hard truth or accept that the chances of failure are high.

That's extremely embarrassing.

Looks great! One curious thing I'd be interested to see is the sum of the values of all the apps and how it compares with Apple's estimates.

This is now getting so entirely overwhelming. It's like you're on the beach getting repeatedly smashed by waves that get bigger and bigger. There's nothing you can do to fight it, stop it, or move, and it just keeps coming. I

Thank you for creating OpenWetWare! It actually became a really great tool for looking up protocols from other labs. I know many people who still use it fervently!

I disagree, these are 'big' problems, and exposure of these pain points to other smart entrepreneurs can only lead to a net benefit.
