I wanted to write about going after the mainstream press. Why just focus on bloggers? 1. Do not use a PR firm. If you are on HN you are probably a startup with out funding. They will charge you an arm and a leg. You can do better on your

I wonder why none of these incubators/schools come to NYC? It is the 2nd largest tech scene in the US. It would seem obvious.

I feel like everyone thinks 'man you need an advisory board to be considered real.' Most meetings with anyone investing in you they ask 'who is on your board.' Even with all that being said, I just don't see the value. Most people will h

Struck a nerve, all I was saying is that this article is not really interesting compared to what normally makes the front page of HN. I think the fact it has to do with Marijuana made people just up-vote it. If you actually read the artic

Is this really the kind of article that should be on HN?

If you were an east coast startup (or really from outside California) I could see the value, but if you are a startup in the Valley, it does not seem to really make sense. If you can't hustle and make the right connections, then what you ar

I am getting tired of seeing this question every week. There needs to be some sort of Hacker News FAQ.

I feel like these are the same people from every event like this in NYC. Can anyone really hear David Rose speak about how Amazing NY angels are again, and again?

I get where you are coming from, but looking at the flip side of your comment shows what a smart businessman he is. While I don't agree with this method either (as I am sure most people that read HK don't) there is something to be said abou

All of these new TLD are ridiculous. Its hard to imagine anyone giving up on the idea of getting a .com for any of the mildly weird new ones...

I also am not sure if the guy running NYC seed is willing to take any chances. Last I heard they had not invested in anyone.

This is pretty funny because I am in a similar situation, and have been wondering how the hell I am going to explain the last two years of my life. Could anyone in HR really understand what it is like to start a company?

At this point we feel we are too far along, and need to much money to go to YC (but, this may simply be us being closed minded.) We are planing a massive relaunch as a push to finalize some sort of series A.

Fantastic article... I think everyone who reads HN can relate to the theories and thoughts the author outlined. Interesting to read when you consider where to start your next business.

1. Nobody expressed interest in content, social media or social network sites. It think this is a real shame. All the Facebook, but for my dog / Facebook, but for my garden / Myspace, but for my Facebooks have really given a bad name to th
