I read Ulysses 3 years ago. After initial skepticism, I discovered that it is truly a great work of literature. One example that impressed me was the chapter Wandering Rocks, where Joyce implements a virtual Dublin that operates like a ma

There's also http://preferredreturn.com/calculator that has the graphing you describe and the ability to add multiple rounds. However, the FF one has a better interface for convertible debt & early stage.

How about this idea: Much of the congestion is caused by people stowing their bags overhead further down the plane than their seat, then having to reverse against traffic for X rows to sit down. Also there is a large fixed time cost once t

Options have value in finance and in life. Instagram possessed the option to turn on advertisements inside the app, and the option to sell virtual goods, and the option to implement any number of other revenue schemes, which would have imm

The numbers are arbitrary, so it would have been better for me to say "business models that produce nonzero revenues even when things go wrong are superior to business models that return nothing unless everything goes right, especially for

Better still to find an opportunity that has a chance of making it to $100mm if everything goes perfectly, but might end up at $2mm on a bad run. Bootstrap so you don't have the pressure to 100x for an investor, and so you can pull out some

It is one of the top personal finance blogs. Don't want to divulge the url as I don't want to share her revenues with the world.

Start a blog. My sister started a blog and after 3 years was making $200k/year. Not saying every blog or every topic will make this much, but it's certainly possible to make a good living as a blogger.

Design of article widget makes me want to fail. Also, not many of these are high margin businesses. Meh, you have a $2mm revenue shipping business with 10% margins and 10 employees that takes all your time to run. I would rather own a $10
