Totally agree with this, and I believe you can benefit a lot by always putting time into yourself. Your startups will come and go, so always work on yourself and build up your own reputation. Then each one is easier to launch and validate

I can say from my experience so far with Buffer, that it is easy for this to get very hard to keep up with. Seems like they had similar great intentions like us to be amazing at support as well as build a fantastic product. We had a period

I think this is a great point. Hate is a strong word, I'm not sure I would advise hating your idea. You've got to love what you're doing, right? But love the process, not the idea. What I think may be best is to be endlessly curious about w

Great post Leo. There are some great comments here, but I have a feeling you did not intend for people to think they are smarter than they are. Rather, I think the point you may perhaps be trying to make is that we should all be very pragma

I have to agree with this. We started out as bfffr (name and domain) and quickly changed to Buffer (domain bufferapp.com). It's tempting with things like Forrst and Dribbble around though :) (I still love both these startups)

Hi Matt, You're absolutely right, it's not a failure of the US immigration system. We looked into all our options, and we were working with a very good and well respected immigration lawyer to apply for H1B visas. Unfortunately, they ran ou
