Great source here. I for one don't think the Instagram deal was that bad in terms of value. I mean didn't Facebook have something like 9million users when Yahoo bid $1billion for it? Imagine if Instagram had said no and history repeated....

I agree with walexander and brodney in regards to the quality of this article. However, would the Instagram deal have came off had Facebook been trading on the market? I don't think it would have. Then again what do we really know? I for on

I think the video is a good way to get the personality of the applicant prior to an interview, maybe even an indication of co founder chemistry. Of course it can be gamed pretty easily so it isn't that much of an indicator. I wouldn't imagi

I think payments in Europe are beginning to catch up with the US services of stripe and square. iZettle are running a beta test and you can request an invite on Twitter. However, no stripe equivalent yet.....

I apologise if that is the view that was put across. It is not what I/we intended but just thought it was unique considering 90% of the co founder requests on here are for technical based people. I 100% regret the title in hindsight with th

The main dispute of the US-UK extradition agreement derives from the fact the US has to show 'reasonable suspicion' however the UK has to show 'probable cause'. However some argue there is no difference namely Sir Scott Baker who's reports

This is why I can't wait for a Square or Stripe in the UK. At the moment you have PayPal as your only option to take payments rapidly for say a quick idea you have had and want to hack up.

In my belief this could be tricky as I'm sure the H1B is actually tied to your current employer and would become invalid once you left that company. I'm not sure however and I certainly wouldn't go off my word.
