You would be surprised. Dropbox for one does these kinds of deals all the time. That said they wouldn't care about anyone other than the 2 engineers and any designers on board.

I don't really see it being true yet but I think it's coming. Right now if you're based in SV you can hire the best talent in the world, pay them a fortune and build something great. Investors are reluctant to touch anyone ou

I think better than the social media marketing blog or building and selling a product would be to find someone else's product you can help grow. Like Noah you can find an old master to train under too. A lot of self-taught coders do th

I would probably hire a freelancer on ODesk. Pay $3-$5 an hour, probably get it knocked over in a couple of days. Hire two at once if you want to confirm the entries.

We hear a lot about Chinese attacks on the US but virtually nothing about the opposite, which undoubtably does happen. Reading the wiki page on "Cyberwarfare" there are sections on each country, like "Cyberwarfare in Germany&

I can't reply to your last comment for some reason but there was a mutual NDA in place. I think they needed it more than us to be honest, they were effectively opening up their corporate roadmap to us for what is now a publicly traded

Well they just got a cash injection from selling Path & Path Talk so I can imagine that should help support 40+ headcount for a little while. Along with the $25m they raised a year ago.

Stock in a public company is far more liquid. A larger software company is also likely to have employees, big clients etc. If you're looking to sell and walk away from a founder-run SAAS startup 3x is about right. Add multiples if you
