Revenue growth is better than active user growth, but growth is the high order bit. In other words, growing revenue 10% a week is better than growing active users 10% per week. But for a startup (in the startup=growth sense), 10% growth in

If you've done this, you've been an extremely fortunate outlier. The people I know who have done "a successful side business selling apps" have had just as many emotional highs and lows as friends who have done venture-backed companies. The

Extraterrestrial planets aside, it's a fair point. Google's fleet undoubtedly has more machines than Amazon's in total, and that might give Google better economies of scale even though it isn't the leader in the utility computing space. Ho

It's possible that both this report and the "double digit millions" report are true. $2M divided among 20 engineers isn't enough to convince each engineer to stick around at Apple for a few years vs. look for another job immediately. Usuall

YC is looking for companies that will be home runs. The essay should have made that pretty clear! The footnote you quote is saying is that if a YC company doesn't turn out to be a home run, but instead becomes a lifestyle business or a smal
