Ha. It's a news term. It means like "why should I care about you". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_graph - the same thing in print. :)

Our peg is simplicity. So really, people can search by keyword, filter out unwanted keywords, ban users, filter RTs, etc. We don't do any big grouping or the sort yet... we just rely on producers to find the posts they're looking

So just like any company, the bigger your price, the more people who have to sign off. So given that we're really really inexpensive compared to most other companies, it's actually really easy for us to get spun up inside most bro

It's actually pretty funny. You know those contests that kind of seem pointless and cost like $200 to enter? When we first launched, we entered one of those contests. We didn't win, but someone who produced Anderson Cooper's

ER visits. Seriously. An ER is required by law to treat anyone who comes in. If you really can't pay, go to the ER. Some argue this is why healthcare costs so much because ERs have to be paid for.

How do you think your program stacks up when compared to YC directly? Do you think an Airbnb or Dropbox would choose your program vs YC primarily because of the lower friction to money in the bank? Also, if a company already has a v1 of the

Dude. You know I love you right? Like... this to me is the epitome of the startup culture issues I think we face in Utah. MLMs add little value most of the time. I feel like they're more con than anything. I'm glad you're que

Perhaps when the card is away from the phone you can't push the button? Not sure, but this is definitely my top-of-mind question.

Are you the dude who did the "we're going to make it so nobody's going to fuck with our customers" line at demo day? Cause that was awesome. :)

I literally know nothing about this space... but I'm aware of Quartzy ( http://www.quartzy.com/ ) which I think competes similarly. Care to do a competitive analysis with them?

I'm actually most excited about allowing customers to invest. There's some people who see what we're doing at Vidpresso, and basically nobody in media has enough money to be accredited, but I'd love to provide upside for

I attended every demo day session (and the practice sessions before demo day) for about 2 years* and the real difference between the audiences depended on time of day. I think a "good" presentation had a lot of people writing thin
