You might think that this initial bias wouldn't help much in the end because the buyer would proceed to evaluate both startups and pick the one they thought was better. However, the bias isn't easily severable. Again, I don't have any evi

While the envolve plugin is extremely interesting, the HN implementation would probably be far more useful if you scraped the HN username for logged-in users and displayed it. Anonymity seems to kill the utility of chat. For those that wish

This will be my last response in this thread - I don't wish to troll / waste my resources on an argument that doesn't deserve them. >why the bitterness Because I'm yet to see a more primed-for-PR CSR initiative. At least from a startu

At the risk of sounding like a complete cynic, isn't this nothing more than a shameless PR plug? And I think the bigger villain here isn't said company or their PR agency, it's CNN for carrying this crocodile-tear-jerking piece. And if you'

Installed. Quite ironically, this is more or less what I thought Notifo would aim to be the first time I stumbled upon your website. While I'm not particularly crazy about receiving notifications from most blogs I read, what I'm really look

Here's wishing you all the best on this latest leg of a journey we've so enjoyed reading about. Singapore is 3 hours from India You must visit way more often - you now have no excuse not to.

Interesting aside: I'm pretty sure your intention was jest, but lolling isn't as modern a word as the internet generation would have you believe (and has an entirely different meaning). From the etymology of loll ( http://www.etymonline.com

My chief gripe with sweeping analogies like this one is that they glorify the irreverent, "disruptive" entrepreneur. It's probably the evocative nature of the word "disruptive" that serves to create and perpetuate this fallacy. And while t

I don't mean to come across as hostile or undermine the effort that's been invested, but I can't help but be a tad skeptical about these visualizations, especially given the fact that the author (in what might be construed as cavalier fashi

There's no doubt you've sharpened your saw with the projects you've worked on. It could've been way worse - I've been through the blues / in the doldrums, and couldn't get myself to do anything for weeks on end. I happened to navigate to P

While the entire post is both cathartic and poignant, one line stood out for me because of its brutal honesty. Am I jealous of other companies' success? I would be lying if I said no. Thank you for saying this. I've always wanted to, but

I'm going to buck the general trend here and recommend bringing the guy on board, but note that what I say (as with all advice) isn't free from the odd concomitant caveat. The million-dollar question: "Am I selling to a market that I lack a

Students of entrepreneurship should learn the art of persuasion in all its forms, including psychology, sales, marketing, negotiating, statistics and even design. Scott Adams just shared with us the ideal framework for an entrepreneurial

I'm extremely grateful to entrepreneurs like Paras who've been in the trenches (and stumbled several times, only to pick themselves up and dust themselves off each time), lay their cards on the table and share tidbits of actionable insight

Kudos on your success and a well written article, but to be very frank, this is incredibly hard to emulate. An analogy would be the Envato network discussing the success of a new sister site and attributing the initial traction to their alr

Reminds me of a tweet by Angus Davis I stumbled upon a couple of months back. Amazing how many brilliant minds and millions of dollars have been applied to enable people to share photos.

If I could weigh in on the entire controversy here, in hindsight, I wish I hadn't read either of the articles - I'm none the richer after the consumption of a ton of vitriol. And here's why, in my opinion. Both Justin Vincent and Alex Payne

In one line: the classic dichotomy of opinion just degenerated into a vitriolic debate. If only sanity prevailed, most commentators would probably dismiss this entire conversation with a "to each his own". Dwell on the entire conversation f

Agreed. But this then essentially translates into a "jobs for founder visas" scheme for relatively larger companies that can afford to immediately hire 3 American candidates. This will, therefore, probably mean a deluge of applications from

The answer depends largely on intent (is the bill meant to be exclusively for startups or are the terms more inclusive) and consequently, on how you define a 'startup'. Let's assume a hypothetical company in operation for 15 years outside t

I know this is an aside, but if there were ever a Disqus comment thread that came close to the conversations on HN for quality, the one at the end of this article would pretty much be it. Some heavyweights have weighed in with some insightf
