1 - In the short term, I don't think ICOs are a solution for every kind of company. Just for protocols and networks. 2 - Great investors provide more than just access to capital. My point of view is similar to Fred Wilson's. More

You are on the right path. Acknowledging it is 30%. Then, just try to focus on the present, one thing at a time. The past can't hurt and nobody knows the future... Good luck! If you need to talk, feel free to reach out.

One thing that I found always helped was to acknowledge the situation. I think this post is a great starting point. Taking a moment and say "I'm depressed, I am burned out". And it's ok, there is nothing wrong with it. O

If you want to read more about it, David Kahneman talks about the cake experiment in 'Thinking fast and slow'. His findings can be summarized as Ego depletion.

As another international founder, it is definitely a great step in the right direction. I am still missing an easier way to bridge the transition gap into a Green Card, maybe a different EB?

Along the same page, I like this quote. "If you want to do right, be an optimist. If you want to be right, be a pessimist." It is much easier to be a pessimist and although they are right more often than not, that doesn't lea

I have definitely seen this happening as well. Being the hype and cool factor of startups, wantrepreneurs are sprouting everywhere. It is usually easy to spot them, all talk and nothing to show.

I agree with this. Lean Startup got really popular in the last years and it is a great tool but it only works if you are in the ballpark. Peter Thiel said that it is a way to reach a local maximum. If you are not in the area, you won't

One thing that could be added to the point about getting demoralized: Success is "just" 1000 iterations away.

Well said. I guess I could rephrase it as helping people. The great influencers you mentioned all managed to helped a lot of people through their achievements. For most of us, it is easier to help directly through human connection.

Well said. In the end the only thing that matters are human connections. Achievement is a distant second

I definitely experienced this at the last stages of my first startup. In my opinion, your own psychology is probably the hardest thing to manage. Ben Horowitz refers to this stage as The Struggle. He talks about how when you start your comp

Same here. It helps me become more present at every single moment. It prevent me from going on autopilot, and things just "happening" by themselves.

That's the same way I see it. I would sum it up as becoming aware of the Proprioception of thought. The same way we are aware of moving our arm when we are doing so, becoming aware of your thoughts while we are thinking. We tend to tak

Yes, that was my impression as well, strong lineup. I think I'll apply. It would be nice to get out of Seattle during September. Rain is coming...

As Andy Grove said, as a manager you only need to worry about two things: Motivation and Growth. Some of these questions are really good, they give you information that can help you in tricky situations down the road. However, by themselves

Really good advice here. I would sum it up in 2 points: - Observe and engage with the employees. Asks them tough questions, you specifically want to gauge how passionate are they about the work they are doing not about working for the compa

Couldn't agree with it more. "Walking on water and developing software from a specification are easy if both are frozen". Startups are the opposite of having clear requirements. There is a lot of uncertainty. In my opinion, i

Something similar happened to me going through the Startup Bootcamp incubator in Europe. In the end, the best leads come from your network. As you said they are already vetted and you have already worked with them through the program so the
