This is interesting, but I'd love to see an analysis that proves some sort of treatment effect of colocation. Zynga has acquired 20+ companies on crunchbase. Is Zynga biased towards acquiring companies in the bay area, or are companies

If the ageism has no merits, shouldn't the problem self-correct due to the arbitrage opportunity it creates?

For what it's worth, Matt Cutts has historically put his responsibility as head of webspam above other interests. For example, he's penalized Google itself. http://searchengineland.com/google-chrome-page-will-have-

Hi Joel- thanks for being open to the feedback. Like you said, you are in growth mode. To me, growth mode means reinvesting as much of the profits as possible back into the company. Paying yourself a large salary during this time is the sam

Sure, that's a generalization. There are tons of exceptions where my generalization doesn't apply. But that isn't the core of my argument- its a postscript. The math the company has laid out says that CEOs should be paid more

Seems unwise to have a CEO co-founder be the highest salaried employee at a startup. That person's equity position is probably at least an order of magnitude higher than the other employees. As an investor or employee, I'd find th

Re sources of debt: there's the incurred costs from bootstrapping. I quit my job to start a company in August 2010, and didn't start paying myself a salary until June 2011 after we completed our angel round (though we charged expe

The problem is the opportunity cost of time. If a talented technical founder could make $200K per year working somewhere else, then the opportunity cost of building that company (after 2.5 years and with 3 founders) is $1.5M. It may not be

This seems solvable because there are a limited set of identifiers they could use to ban you. - they may have banned your device, so I'd try using a different hardware to register - Use an entirely different credit card. The "name

What's to stop you from opening a new account using a different email and credit card?

by kapilkale 13y ago
These have colloquially been referred to as blind credits, and are seriously frowned upon by the card networks. We told a Visa exec that we were planning on doing these and he said that at any substantial volume, we'd get shut down. Sq

Faster transfers are possible. Some companies (Kabbage maybe?) are able to do same day or instant transfers without wiring. I believe it's done by opening bank accounts at major banks, and then using the interbank transfer system which

Thank you. I really wish the #1 comment here were something debating the merits of the article rather than questioning the author's ability to implement his own advice.

Not a great outcome for last round's investors . With a 1x liquidation pref, they just get their $10.5M back with some change on top. Pretty decent for everyone else- especially founders, assuming they've got a significant stake
