In a somewhat related note, I noticed that A16Z invested in Instagram in the seed round, but is nowhere to be seen in the later rounds ( http://www.crunchbase.com/company/instagram ). Wonder what happened there?

I would not start running ads right out of the gate. You could show something funny while the pics load instead of ads.

Do not understand the logic. For example, I could say that the proof that God exists is the amount of time atheists spend in explaining how God does not exist etc.

I used both products while growing up and I think that Encarta sucked. It was in no way a competitor to Encyclopedia Brittanica. I read in a book ("Blown to Bits") that one of the reasons why Brittanica flopped was because the sales people

I do agree that negotiating while considering the entire scope can be useful and beneficial to both parties, but it can be counter-productive to disclose your priorities. If one of your priorities is not a priority for me, I can still prete

wow, thanks! Adam's friend made the video and his wife gave the voice-over so it has an all 'in-the-house' production!:) I feel that for a non-consumer product like ours, where design is not the make or break difference, a video like the on

Quite a few startups that I know are doing a rolling close ... So the early investors get a better valuation for coming in early without asking the perennial, 'Who else is in the deal' question. Investors who come in later pay a premium sin
