Maybe so, but the answer isn't to worry about toiling away ad infinitum in failure. Better to be a modern day Calvinist and act as if your actions will make a difference even if you aren't preordained to reach Heaven.

When has he ever said anything about being uniquely qualified?

Likewise. Sam is extremely effective, works super hard for YC companies, and knows something about seemingly everything. Even as a talent acquisition alone this would make sense.

Exec is hiring in SF. We are an on demand outsourced labor force. We just launched yesterday to generous press coverage. But that's not what is important; what is important is that we are %100 focused on building the product to provide the

We do a bunch of screens, including an in-person interview. We also background check all our Execs.

Daniel and Amir had a company that focused on restaurant apps that turned into the company that is Exec.

I agree that it is hard to focus on multiple things. Certainly I am not "running" Justin.tv/TwitchTV by any means: my cofounder Emmett Shear is in every sense of it. I don't think I could have a day to day operational role at two companies.

Hm, we should probably add that feature. When we go to London we will definitely post here again.

One of my biggest problems using marketplaces is the cognitive overhead of figuring out the often complex process how I'm supposed to use the site. With Exec, I wanted to make something that was super simple and just works. Most of our chal

So, here's the skinny: I spent most of Monday at Justin.tv / TwitchTV. At TwitchTV I mostly work on strategy and management issues. My cofounder Emmett Shear runs the company as CEO along with a great management team including our COO Kevin

We definitely think this is a great use case. Any companies in the SF area who want to try it out should hit me up at justin@iamexec.com.

Soon I hope. London is on the short list of places to expand to!

The comments in this thread are painful and seem to be based on a lack of understanding of investor motivations and basic spreadsheet math. YC (and the rest of Silicon Valley)'s biggest successes are companies that make money and have real,

Thanks for the tip! Just bought a domain using almost your email verbatim for 10% of what I was willing to pay :)

When I first saw Josh Buckley present Mino Monsters at YC Alumni Demo Day last year, I thought "That kid at 18 is a better public speaker than I am at 28." Their company is killing it right now (congrats to Josh / TJ!) Josh is very far at o

This article is silly. Of course there are massively overhyped startups in Silicon Valley that don't deserve their funding or attention. I won't comment whether Groupon is one, but certainly startups like Cuil come to mind. However, there a

Justin.tv/TwitchTV is hiring paid interns. We treat our interns almost exactly the same as we treat a lot of our fulltime engineers, and expect them to actually add tangible value to our product, not just give them one-off projects. Visit

It is the top voted comment because it is a thoughtful analysis of why the top web companies perhaps should not have entered the mobile space, with some depth. This provides a lot more insight into the industry than the simplistic alternati

I agree, it is extremely irritating. Generally it's the last resort of someone unable to explain a coherent statement of agreement.

I would have worked on being less shy earlier and cultivating more groups of more diverse friends. I would have studied Computer Science instead of Physics & Philosophy, which I don't really apply to anything I'm doing today. I would ha

Just signed up. You should have FB connect so that it can find my friends and let me see their debates, ala Quora. You should also have a publicly directory of debates so I can see what is going on.

Sorry, I think that's a wordpress "feature". We're reskinning our blog. The revenue generated from the company blog isn't really what's keeping us afloat.
