Thanks everyone for the insightful questions! Hope the answers here and the Startup School talk are helpful to our community. This was fun! Singing off now -- I'm hungry and it's time to cook up a 10-minute Gobble dinner.

Gobble is my second company. With my first company, I bootstrapped and never raised outside capital. I got introduced to a consultant by a friend and I paid him to build our first product part-time and help manage an engineering team in Ind

I told people about my idea at various events and I actually first started out with three volunteers. It was the summertime, so we had one student who interned with me and helped me with marketing/business. The other two folks were eng

I have "lucky shirts" and "lucky dresses". I wear the same set of outfits to first meetings, second meetings, and final meetings. That way, I don't have to think about it and the superstition gives you extra confide

Haha. Brutal question. I don't even know if I can count... Big secret: There are no real stages. We didn't just have a seed, Series A, Series B, etc. And, that's the story for most companies. There are oftentimes intermittent

This is an awesome question. See my other answer about getting our first users and then here is Part II of that answer: AirBNB scaled product appeal by later building out an entire internal marketplace and international network of freelance

I did things that didn't scale. #ycfirstprinciples I put our promo cards at coffee shops and laundromats, emailed meetup groups, went door to door, bought people coffee to demo our product at Starbucks, walked around farmer's mark

F(wine consumption) = ∫ f(growth) i.e. when growth is flat in the trough of sorrow, wine consumption goes up linearly week/week... that said, even when you start growing, you develop new problems and can gathering bottles even faster ;

We saw varying levels of traction throughout the years with different product iterations. In the talk, I discuss why we made the specific product decisions at different points in time. We target busy families, and we saw the least traction

Great idea -- We're actually making a few starter kits: one of basic cooking equipment and one of spices for our customers. You can either buy or "earn" the kits as you go along with Gobble. It's exciting to see kitchen-
