Have replied on Quora but generally speaking my advice is that it's really hard to get through to these guys. They're busy, they get hustled all day every day. However if you approach their media or advertising agency you may be able to get

I think you can simplify your home page and messaging. When I first got to the page I had to hunt around to work out exactly what it was that you did and what your unique selling proposition was. I would suggest running some usability testi

It's a hard question to ask without an understanding of the economics of the country you live in. Believe it or not I developed a new product strategy for an Australian telco and ISP that ended up getting shelved after a change of managemen

Nice one Will. I've written a couple of lists that might be a good starting point though the first is a bit out of date being from 2009: http://www.mynameisned.com/awesome-melbourne-tech-startups http://www.mynameisned.com/australian-inn

Half of our team work remotely but even in the office we use DropBox because it means we can use the one platform to share internally amongst local + remote team members AND to clients. It's super easy to setup and you don't need to be tech

By "hack" I think they mean they know how to hustle the shit out of SV tech companies and some of the top musicians in the world. Not an easy hack at all.

This is incredible. One route for this would have been to make it so it could be used across any industry but by sticking to games you've made it incredibly valuable in that niche. Keen to see how it goes and if you adapt it to other niches

They're not shutting down deals. They're shutting down the desktop version - the mobile deals product still lives. I think this is a sign that people are more likely to use a deals product when it's relevant to their location and current ac
