I think on thing that PG is trying to get across, that he and the YC team have said so often, they like teams that are scrappy. Because this is a two way street. As PG said, people change so does everything else. What worked today might

That is true. Think about how hard it is to find the right person to date and then marry. In the business world that is exactly what is happening. If the founders don't feel support and connection the way that best helps them, then even

But do you not see the flaw in that logic? "We are not the problem so we are not going to try something else". What advice would give if one of your groups said that? Paul everything I have studied about you and YC over the last 5 years

@pg Coming from an outsider looking in, I wonder how much of the issues is with you and other YC mentors. I know you have an incredible amount of knowledge but how you impress that information on people is very crucial. I wonder if the pr

What I have said is often people don't take the time to craft a color scheme. There is a difference between someone who understands the art of web experience and the person who is a coder and understands structure. If you think that major

Dude it is very simple, click the fees button at the bottom of every single one of their pages. Then click the accepting payments button and view all discounts and fees. Took me longer to type this message than to find it.

It is an API service and will take you about 25 minutes to do the initial set up. Here is why its worth it. Once you set up the server its done. It takes 2 minutes to set up a new email address (support, general, sales, etc.) But after

We use Postmark. The service is super easy to setup and very reasonably priced. We changed from Godaddy about 6 months ago because of how traditional servers queue email. With postmark and other services like it, there is no queue. This

Everything I have read and experienced with them so far has been tops, I really like that. There is never any promise to get into these kinds of things but based on a feel I have, it is at least promising. Don't put yourself out on a call

Hey Mike, I had a question. Do you know anything/are you involved with Gazelle Labs? Just trying to do some due diligence as an entrepreneur. They have been really great toward me the last few months, retweeting my stories/posts on tech.
