   I don't think there are too many. One really roundabout way is for you to own a foreign company which is the majority stakeholder in a US company. Thus, if and when you get funding, you can come on an exec visa (an exec of the parent compan

   I actually love it and have been using it for months now. 1. You can compose multiple emails at a time 2. You can copy-past from/to draft/existing emails/new emails 3. You don't need to change windows when you need to write an email. Works

    Try putting up your product on betali.st or startupli.st We've gotten about 400 beta users from there. Retention is a different matter though!

    I don't get how people are missing the point of the article. Its about how untrained their chat support is, not about buying an external DVD drive vs not buying one.

    He mentions that he bought the software when he had a Mac/PC with a DVD drive. Now, he no longer does. Buying a new computer shouldn't mean he has to re-purchase software to be able to install it.

    I gave feedback to my VP & direct manager when I quit, in a very reasonable & friendly manner. I was leaving on amicable terms to start my startup so there was no bad blood. Nonetheless, he didn't really bother with my feedback and

    We spent an hr at the Apple store and 1 hr on the phone speaking with their customer care, but they pretty much refused to believe that it was an actual issue! And we have the same issue with two macs, not one!

    I'm not really making a comparison between the industries. I'm talking about how the process and work involved as a producer/COO has an overlap and how my experience making a film can be translated in some ways to my startup.

    We are not about connecting like-minded people. We are trying to help people solve their everyday problems....connecting people is a consequence of it.

    We were slightly worried about it too. The reason we chose to be generic is that we want to be the de-facto app to solve needs. We're trying to keep it narrow by the kind of communities we market it to.

    Yeah, there is a market for people looking to start pick up games, find tennis/squash/chess partners, but these are the subset of the larger problem that we want to solve. Irrespective of what your need, you should be able to find the righ
