Can you expand the third point a bit? I hear people talk about this a lot, but don't understand what it actually means. For example, what kind of support/encouragement/mentoring did men previously get that they no longer enjo

OP here. Sorry, I don't quite get your point. I'm arguing that you can find product-market fit faster by doing sales than marketing, because doing sales allows you to gather more (and more useful) information from your target audi

Good to know. Out of interest, what would you say are the key weaknesses at your company that makes successfully hiring, training and managing juniors for remote roles impossible?

I use it a lot (several times each month for the past ~3 years). I absolutely love it. - You can trust that the hotels are good enough. Never had a bad experience - Takes <15s to book - They have their own rewards system which really sta

This makes a lot of sense. I travel a lot for work (100+ nights per year). Sometimes I stay for 2+ nights, often it's just a 1-night stop over. For 2+ nights, I almost always go with an AirBnB - more space to cook/work/think

Equity comes with a whole host of conditions (which can be unpleasant for founders) that Earnest Capital's deal doesn't include. I think it's more than fair to say they don't take equity.

Out of interest, why is there a limit? And what is that limit? Also, would you change your username if I requested you to do so? (Perhaps I had a bad experience in the past which makes the word “Adam“ something I‘d rather not read)

I think that's partly it. As 'technical' marketing becomes a more developed industry, it's splitting into more distinct job roles. The days of hiring a growth hacker to plaster over your CMO's shortcomings are disap

Am being seriously downvoted. Anyone care to explain why? I know the idea of software (and SaaS in particular) being a tricky passive side project is unpopular amongst the HN crowd, but unfortunately it's true.

My experience is that yes, it is possible to generate a passive income with side projects (by passive I mean <5h work per week). As someone who has built and sold a SaaS company however, I'd strongly recommend against starting off w
