However you decide to work out things financially, I'd be careful not to undervalue his effort. You say he contributed nothing to your current product, but I find it unlikely that was the case. Even if you are working on a new product, su

I can't help but cringe when reading this. My biggest issue is the minutiae it seems to entail that is created in trying to balance the concerns of all the different parties. The complexity it adds creates ambiguity, and makes it harder f

Then came ‘‘iPhone shock,’’ which sent Japan’s cellphone companies — long used to scoffing at the clunky offerings from their overseas peers — scrambling to develop similar smartphones. Really? I have yet to see any Japanese concerted ef

In the post, the author mentions he doesn't want hotels or cafes snooping on his search. However, I fail to see why search is any more important than the results a user visits (which most likely will not be ssl). If someone truly wants pri

Project management is one example. There are tons of free and paid options for both. Also, as a paid product, you don't need to focus on winning out over free competitors , but instead making enough money for yourself. As long as your pr

Considering YC only started in 2005, it is too early to say how many "made it", the definition of which is ambiguous in the first place. This spreadsheet has a list of YC companies along with whether or not they are dead or have exited: ht
