But this is where equity incentives serve to align these interests. If you develop a real killer app on your spare time, but integrated into your company's product would significantly increase the valuation, retention, reduce churn, e

Identical labels will usually use flexographic printing with cut steel templates which transfer the ink to the plastic. Being able to customize each bottle is pretty cool in its own right.

The news is that they have at least one unit of a promised product that is mature enough in its development cycle to be tested on public streets.

I've also seen the opposite - 10 minute estimate and the car shows up in less than 3. This is just as bad...maybe I ordered the car early because of the long projected lead time, now the driver has to wait for me while possibly blockin

Discovery, dealflow, pattern matching, and ability to check references. It's best when the folks pitching you are 2nd degree connections (and got to you through a warm intro). These connections to SV VCs are most dense in SV.

Unless you are independently wealthy or building something that can truly be bootstrapped (no expensive R&D, for example), investors are a necessary constant.

Most food labeling in the US is done this way. Gross measures (total volume, weight, etc) are in imperial while the nutrition facts are in metric. So milk will say, serving size 12 Oz, protein XX g.

Everything can be iterated. The degree to which this iteration can be accomplished is really highly dependent on the complexity of your product, but, in terms of iteration complexity (and highly simplified, dropping lots of intermediate poi

The vast majority I have run across have more traditional educational backgrounds, many with advanced degrees through the PhD. It's just not as fun for journalists to profile the 37 year old PhD as the 19 year old dropout.
