$6,000/founder and as many 0.375 FTE slaves as they can round up - MBAs around the globe rejoice, TechStars has solved the "I've got this amazing idea, if only I could find some developers" problem.

If they want to reply with the fact that they don't want to partner with us, that's fine. We simply wanted to add the feature to our enterprise application and were ready to pay licensing for 2000 users (and growing daily). The problem is

If you're posting a bizdev email, I would just assume you would respond, even if it's with a "Sorry, we're heads down on other stuff" response. 3 weeks without a response makes me think they don't even bother reading it.

Does Dropbox ever check their bizdev email address? We've emailed them trying to partner, and our users would all be paying users. Guess they don't like revenue.

Congrats on the soon-to-be newborn. But, I'm saddened by Boston being removed from the rotation.

It's been a few years since I've spoken French on a daily basis, and I've always talked slang (from a francophone part of New Brunswick), but shouldn't you leave off the 'le'?

This is a very frequent discussion in my circle of hackers - to comment or not to comment. I'm on the "not to comment" side of things; either your tests or your code should speak for itself, if it's so complex that you need to leave a comm
