   Spike contracted the agency, (or so it seems from a forwarded email) and he has the most control over the agency. I think by not publicly mentioning the agency's name, this gentlemen is demonstrating his desire to resolve this situatio

   I really like the idea behind the takeaways and can imagine some truth to these observations... but it's hard for me to know how true it really is based on the OP's one week trip. Maybe the OP was lucky and just walked into a welc

   Outliers, definitely the freakenomics books, I enjoyed Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Lean Startup, Power of Habit, Defining Decade (if your in your 20's, fantastic book), The Happiness Advantage, Great by Choice from Jim collins...

   I really like it so far, I actually had an idea that was very very similar concept but mine would have also included the ability to journal about your travels/destinations and journal entries would be tagged/associated with differ

   Pencil looks really cool!! but that video made my stomach turn a bit. As someone who used to edit videos, I can't image working on that, I would have puked for sure.

    I think this was a great little analysis and I will try to keep it in mind for future emails to subscribers.

    I would have enjoyed the post more if about half way through, a giant popup didn't make me choose between entering my email or clicking a link that read, "No thanks, I don't want to grow my business." Pretty aggressive e

    Personally, I think the way you are approaching your situation mentally, is strong. Best of luck to you. I didn't get into YC when I applied in 2011 and it has motivated me so much to really improve myself. Now I'm in a position w

    I agree with the other reply. Stripe would be ideal but when looking for international solutions, they just aren't there yet. We are looking into payment solutions to cover our LatAm customers and it is very difficult right now.

    Couldn't agree more. Another factor that popped into my head: how many people start businesses with billion dollar aspirations? If you open a bike store, restaurant or mom-and0pop shop, chances are you aren't even trying to turn t

    The title should really be "Why a great accelerator can help you Succeed". Article contains nothing on the differences between Success and Failure IMO... but still some valuable insights.
