Hey Alex, We're on this. Would love to have you + 15 other people switch to us :) Figuring out which banks we don't support (that people need us to support) is a pretty big challenge. We've already gotten requests to support canadian bank

I'll have to admit, we cheated a bit... we won $35k in grant money before getting YCombinator funded this spring. :) Thanks for the compliments!

This is Jessica from inDinero. We're founded out of UC Berkeley :) We're still focusing on building product, but we've been talking to a lot of accountants to build the product you describe.

This could be optimizing on the wrong thing... sure, we want more women in math and science, but instead of focusing on eliminating gender bias among researchers, we should be thinking more about increasing the number of women who want to

- Yup, we should add screenshots. Developers behind the project don't think of such obvious things. :) - Our intent was to create something with power on the scale of Eclipse, but with a more simplified UI + faster load times. - We're tryi

Yep, we made a mistake. And we acknowledge it.

Tobi, That's a mistake on our part, and we're going to fix it. On another note - the techZING guys were some of the funnest I've spoken to. :) Between working on startup and preparing for finals, things have been pretty stressful over here

From what you've described, there's a huge negotiation problem. You don't have leverage, and you're starting to sound desperate - everything they can use against you in the event that they contact you. Lets say you asked them to acquire yo

It's almost a little sad to hear that having a child brings down a woman's ability to go into a good working profession... running a startup takes a long time, and many founders end up having kids in the midst of all the action. (Evan Willi

I think it's important to just sit down and have a casual chat - no expectations, no presentations, no real "preparation". Just talk to them as you would to a hot girl on your first date! Too many people rush into trying to impress invest

hmmm... thats a good idea. If you're running a profitable business that just wants a little money to grow, and you know you'll be able to pay that back, then debt might just be the better (and lower risk) way to go. But obviously, lower ri

Meeting my co-founder was love at first sight - we were the only freshman in our discrete math class at Berkeley, so the GSI paired us up to be homework buddies. It was our first week in college. What started as doing problem sets together

Yes, but when 100% uptime and fanatical support are key to your branding, even a little downtime undermines the expectations of current and prospective customers. They set a high bar for themselves. By saying that they have the lowest downt

It's as if Rackspace has lost its key value proposition. The first time this happened, many of us thought "oh, it's a one time thing." But now that so many of us pay more money for something that goes down every few months, it's starting

I'm always skeptical of these gatherings that pair up potential co-founders, because I see it as trying to match up singles at a bar. The quality of the people tends to be lower, and the relationships very rarely turn into marriage. And wh

As a female in the tech industry, I actually don't think anyone has been sexist towards me - at least not in any way that has impacted my career or my desire to be in this industry. I feel that I've been judged by my merit, and Silicon Vall

Besides the obvious choices, here's what I've heard from my friends: - UIUC has a pretty solid CS program, but it's cooold out there. - University of Michigan is solid too. - NYU isn't the best CS education, but the amazing location will op

Big thanks to UC Berkeley. As a current senior, it's incredible to see how the school has opened up to the idea of pushing entrepreneurship over the past 4 years. The Berkeley CSUA and ST@B worked their butts off to make this an incredibl
