Most other countries use washing machines with much less capacity and water ue (side loaders vs. top loaders), have different toilet flushing systems with smaller loads, and generally put a much higher premium on drinking water. If you comp

Such an incredible person. I've met him a couple of times, and he was always smiling, inquisitive and much nicer than you would ever expect. The good go early.

Before it's the next big thing? That would mean acquiring all good small startups that are active in _some_ space they are interested in, without waiting for the decision on who's the best. Again, fear does not make good decisions.

Like the insights and mostly agree. I think you missed an interesting point, though: Can Twitter (or Facebook, or anyone else for that matter) still build the next big thing internally? Are these companies still as 'startup' as they think t

Yes, this is what they would do if they understood UX. But that’s not what VCs are for. What VCs really would do if they understood UX the way the OP implies is build a firm that tries to invest in slowly growing, sustainable companies, wit

I wonder if the typical German necessity of a title (Germans LOVE titles) has any input on the "I'm a CEO" bit.

Good on Joel for pointing out what many have been thinking and saying. Doing it as one of the few relevant startup bloggers in Germany makes it even more important. Overall, I think there are a few rough patches in the post, but I agree wit

Wow, the smugness and adversity to Marissa Mayer is really evident here. Did these two have a run-in in the past or is that just KS's style of reporting?

(I'm part of the Seedcamp Team) Actually - we do have cohorts, just a little nuanced from the 3-month programs. Due to the distributed nature of the onboarding and investments (locally in the markets we cover), we decided to kickstart the i

I work at Seedcamp. We don't force anyone to move their startup to London. We do suggest the new teams spend some time with us here, as it's valuable to them to be part of what is going on here - a lot of the teams come from eastern Europe

Almost no tax breaks for startups, and healthcare and employee taxes are regulated very closely to normal German laws. Shockingly, recently the govt seems to have decided that angel investors and even founders will not be eligible for cert

This throws up various questions: - Is the UK market simply more competitive, and is the fight over individual customers tougher? I.e. need the "other" smartphones be cheaper to compete? - Besides the hardware, what are potential cost drive

She comes across so smug and arrogant, it's uncanny. Definitely no celebration of the bold move or tough challenges here.

Great post and great ideas. Mathematically, it's definitely a pretty perfect solution, but there are other factors that come into play. Most importantly, the reason for the acquisition, and the fact who company B wants/needs to make happy:

"Final Cut Studio can be purchased for $999 (or $899 for educational buyers). That's the same price the suite was being sold for as of July 2009, but $700 more than its newer replacement, Final Cut Pro X." Yes, the new one costs 299. Way to

He absolutely is. Surprisingly, html5 apps haven't gone very big (even as installed bookmarks on the homescreen, or with the use of local caching, effectively mimicking an actual app) - at least in comparison with any meaningful iOS app. No

There are no real details about how many jobs will be cut, or where. The quote "20.000 is a pretty significant number in Finland" seems to be related to the total number of Nokia jobs in Finland, not the amount to be cut. I think it's safe

I work at Seedcamp, our view on this: - We see more than 200 companies a year at Seedcamp Events. A lot of them get external funding, and very often from people they have met at one of the events. I think that's the strongest "no" you can h

What's interesting to see is also that for most of these companies, the total number of shares issued at IPO was below 10%. Info on who sold what when would be interesting as well.

Absolutely, good point. It's hard to resist the urge, though - seeking coverage (to get confirmation or otherwise) is only natural when you are passionate about your start up and want to tell the world what you are doing. Customer developme

I'd say, the review was actually good for Josh, as it gave him very honest feedback, probably much more frank than what he heard from people in person. People tend to say either "great, keep on going" or are very negative about a product,
