As I see it, the world, and america in particular is worshipping the culture of the intellect to the extreme, forgetting other innate and arguably more important human qualities. As philosophers like Jacob Needleman have said before, there

Intrigued to see where this goes. It would be great if you could post status of the companies funded every 6 months or so.

+ 1 on this. It reminds me to the two systems that Daniel Kahneman talks about in his book: Thinking Fast and Slow. The human brain is only good at multitasking simple things. You can only perform one complex task at a time.

I hear you. Although, I believe that's one of the loopholes that companies like Infosys exploits. They pay just above market average and they have a really high number of H1B employees, bordering on the limit. Also, market average fluc

That's a good point. It would obviously need to be a more complicated system. I think it would be good to prioritize companies like Google, Facebook and the likes but good, honest consulting companies shouldn't be excluded. Factor

Former H1-B Worker as well. I was sponsored by Zynga Inc and Moz. Finally got my green card recently. As other people have pointed out above, I believe the problem relies on who is sponsoring these candidates. The following list speaks by i

I really like the concept of progressive equity by Andrew Mason. IT helps align the interests of founders and early employees to achieve a "shared destiny mindset" http://blog.detour.com/introducing-progressive-equ

I have been using the same thing. I find the distinction between containers (aka smart components) and components pretty neat.

Exactly! I haven't heard of any companies in this stage that loose a cofounder and then become successful. Until you get to product market fit, the company is worth pretty much nothing. If you want your cofounders to have at least a sh

The system needs to be revisited. I am a spanish citizen and I recently got my green card. 3 years ago, I got really lucky that my H1B got selected through the lottery. That said, that month waiting to know was really frustrating. You feel

For me it is not about the number of hours. You can be burnt working 10am to 5pm at a corporation and you can be extremely happy working on your own thing and doubling the hours. Ben Horowitz says that the difference between working for a g

I started a previous company on F-1. If you graduate from a STEM degree, you have 12 months of OPT + a 17 month extension (under review). So you have 2 years and a half to create something valuable enough so you can sponsor your H1B (which

I recommend reading The Future of Management by Gary Hamel. We have all adopted the dogma that hierarchical management is better without questioning it. Is it really? Companies like Whole Foods, W.L Gore, Valve or even Google are great exam

Really nice! I use reflux right now but I think I am going to give Redux a try for my next pet project. In case anyone is interested of a similar one using reflux coffee, hapi,webpack with hod reloading (no undo): https://github.

From my point of view, it boils down to communication and self awareness. Nonviolent Communication that was mentioned before is a great book. Also, I found that the Pathwise Leadership Program ( http://pathwisemanagement.com/

Agreed. I would like to see deeper questions. I suffered through the "struggle" that Ben Horowitz talks about. I would ask questions like: Do you wonder why you started the startup in the first place? Do you regret it? Do you beli
