Awesome, I'll check it out. (I'm the business co-founder in question btw)

Great minds think alike. My co-founders are teaching me to program. We're slowly going from 2 hackers and a biz dev guy to 3 progammers.

I loved this video. It seems like you guys have a really kick ass culture.

Awesome! Payment processing is probably one of our biggest headaches, and this just gave us enough of a reason to try you guys out. Excited to try it out.

Way to hustle! Keep on building.

I didn't at all mean to say the interviewers aren't able to see through it. They're all incredibly smart people, and after reading 1000's of applications I'm sure they can tell who is trying to game it and who isn't. As for the rest of the

I keep the credit cards open, I just don't use them and phase them out slowly over time. I'm very diligent with it, and because I use them often and never miss a payment my credit is quite good. Admittedly though this was simply the first a

I guess I hadn't considered that, although it makes sense that the people seeking treatment would skew the results.

I'd say yes. I've been in crunch time situations where I haven't had internet/power and it really isn't fun.

Alcohol abuse has actually been correlated with High IQ and is most commonly abused by this group because of the despair they see in the world due to their high IQ's. Essentially, because they tend to be more educated, and aware of global p

Diversity for diversity's sake is an empty gesture. Not only that, but diversity for diversities sake is demeaning. I love startups. One of the reason is that when I was in school I despised the political correctness of large, bureaucratic

Using it right now, and I have to say this has drastically increased how much more I enjoy using the site.

Perhaps you could do blind bids then just cut the top 10% and the bottom 10%. Get enough bids to make a bell curve and then take one standard deviation. That way you can get a deal, but still be reasonable enough to finish the project withi

/r/startups /r/entrepreneur among others are excellent as well.

Well, we'd shoot a team video, but we're in the process of relocating our startup so we're a little disparate. I guess you'll just have to interview us :)

Dave, For the video will a product (explainer) video suffice?

Wow that's incredibly unfortunate. Hopefully this is the exception and not the rule.

The problem with that though is the equity stake is an important piece of the puzzle. It may seem a little paradoxical, but by giving out an equity stake you're reinforcing the non monetary social rewards as much as the monetary ones. Not t

I think the author is overlooking one very important thing. Crowdfunding for startups or small business isn't only about the financial return. Yes some people are going to put $100 into a company claiming to be the next facebook thinking th

Something like this though could help to make labor a more realistic market. We can comparison shop almost any product via walmart or amazon, etc. Why shouldn't it be that way with employees?

I disagree. The ability to have a myriad of information as an individual soldier on the field could prove to be invaluable. Think about squad mates that get separated from groups. With technology like this you could see a top down map over

I take this as a compliment as one of the main things I focus on is marketing. However, even as you made this comment my two co-founders have been furiously coding to get our MVP ready to roll.

We're doing crowdfunding for equity for small businesses. So we're like Kickstarter aimed at for profit businesses and you get stock (or a revenue sharing agreement)

You hit on exactly why I wrote this second post. We aren't the guys that want to found a startup to be able to say we founded a startup. We're working on Seedlauncher because it's something we're passionate about, and it's something we want

Haha fair point. It didn't sound nearly as cocky in my head.

You will. Don't worry. We haven't stopped, and won't stop working until we get there.
