Press is just part of the bigger picture of success, but you certainly can't ignore it. And it DEFINITELY makes things easier to move forward.

Guys, Its really kind of simple to be on this list. You just need to apply. Every year they ask for submissions to be included on the list. PR companies will send in their clients names or people will send in their own names. You really

Niche social networks are dead. People are fatigued by the idea of a social network. The word itself makes me pretty much want to puke. Social is the web now; its a fluid idea. What do you want your product to do? to achieve? How is thi

Would you use this? Could doing something like this be a turn off to other angels in the future?

I think SXSW was a mess this year - but it was still a worthwhile conference to be at. Was advertising everywhere and totally in your face? Yes. Were there a million people trying to get into the parties? Yes. Did all the panels totally suc

I know the founder of this startup. She is awesome. I think their methodology is smart when it comes to temporary talent. I would rather hire someone connected to me via linked in rather than a random off elance or craigslist.

Name ten startups that are awesome from NYC off the top of your head. Ten with products you use at least once a week? I live in NYC, and am happy to see things growing, but NYC is not 'on fire.'

As a New Yorker, I can honestly say I don't think I have ever heard anyone actually pitch NYA. David Rose frequently gives how to get funding talks, and they all sound the same. NYA's portfolio of companies is simply un-compelling: http://

Yeah, I truly think NYC Seed is the worst case scenario for any startup. We have met the people behind it, and I don't think they are capable of helping in the way Y Combinator can. Even the application should be a turn off. The questions

Either way, imagine you need to send out 100 messages. That would be 100 seconds (or even worse 100 minutes.) Imagine if you needed to send out 1,000 or a million. Its going to be hard to build a solely SMS service around this based on t

Keep in mind that you can only send one message every second. That is a pretty low throttle. If your service were to take off you would probably need to switch to a bigger aggregator.

Berkshire-hathaway's core competency is not digital or web-based. This is not a financial site. It is a site designed to entice entrepreneurs (its version of consumers.) Berkshire-hathaway is 44 years old and a fortune 500 company. Appfu

Does this feel sketchy to anyone else? This is supposed to be a multi-million dollar fund, but their website looks like that? It feels pretty unprofessional.

As a the co-founder of an NYC startup I would like to share my insight. NYC is a great place to do business if your startup is consumer facing with a marketing skew. If you are an engineering company you do not belong here. I also truly

Your not going to want to hear this, but there are really no options. Your best bet is to raise from friends and family. Maybe, maybe you could get lucky and raise from a government grand or biz plan contest, but still unlikely. Get someth
