I think the most annoying aspect of this outage are their updates. Three updates and they all say the same thing with no meaningful information as to what's causing this. Likely they may not have much information, but you'd think

Same. They've been pretty reliable. Hoping this doesn't last long or we'll be looking to move off.

It's intriguing to see such a wide variety when it comes to salary, bonus, stock, etc. I think there are a lot of mitigating circumstances when it comes to how employers think about salaries and it's not a "one size fits all&

You know the startup community has an ego problem when Bloomberg does an entire puff piece about an anonymous twitter satire profile who happened to be gasp a VC.

If this is just about having a conversation with different Founders and hearing more about their business, I'd be fine with it. I would be curious to see what the cap is as well as the equity they're taking for $20K. Hope they wer

I was thinking the same thing. If you're a new startup needing $20K with a low cap and high equity take of your company, you may be in bigger trouble than you think.

Well said. It makes me wonder how we're going to set up our Sales Team when we're ready. It's such a tough thing to think about at an early stage of a company, and since Zenefits have only been around 3 years, it was likely r

You are both right. That was worded wrong. The Intern would work closely with our Staff and not be just left to their own devices. Sorry about that. We didn't want this to seem like we're just looking for free labor to get work do

I liked that Marc took responsibility for what he said. I don't like that his apology included that he spoke about something he was not properly educated about. In the long run it's not going to do anything to diminish his career,

It's funny. As I was reading the entire post I kept thinking, "You know, these guys could have saved so much time by just asking a bunch of Moms."

I've never understood the psychology of those that do not fundamentally get this. If you just finished raising a seed or angel round, chances are you had less than 12 months of runway to begin with. Perhaps your personal savings was dr

Definitely. This is especially important for companies that are public or are planning to go public. Knuckleheads exist everywhere and they can be a liability if not kept in check.

At this point, if you don't understand that company equipment is to be used for company business only, then you're clearly not using your best judgement. Whether or not there's a policy, it should be implied that the equipmen

I agree with this so much. For me, I was getting so many people hitting me with different advice. Don't include this in your pitch deck. Ask for less money. Don't reach out without an intro. It's tough to know who to listen t

It's funny. I read this and thought about a meeting with a VC a friend of mine had where the VC Partner was on his phone the whole time. My friend suddenly stopped talking and sat there for a good minute before the VC realized he had s

So much incredible information in this document. I think the misstep some Founders make is trying to raise too early. I hear stories all the time about people trying to raise on an idea. And while that can be useful, it is usually the wrong

I actually thought that's what was happening here. Why not make both brands more recognizable? Have GM cars with special "Lyft" paint jobs such as painting the pink mustache on the front. I think it's an interesting angl

True. It's more centered around communications, but with Twilio expanding their product line recently (Video, IP Messaging, etc) I would think this is going to become more general. Last year it was a great conference and I'm sure
