I'd be hesitant to use your service without a referral. Your site doesn't list your restaurants, your fees, or your happy clients. It's just a Google Doc lead gen form. Why?

It sucks to be told as someone who hasn't had an exit yet that you have to not only build something but also get real users before angel investors will help you. But it's a message that needs to be beaten into entrepreneurs looking for ext

I'd love to be angel investor. I'd love to spend $120K doing 12 deals at $10K each. Guess what? I'm not accredited. Also guess what? I can't get loans to go become an angel investor. So I'm going to business school instead. (OK, not

Folks, their customers are intelligence agencies and the government. They spread through referrals from the CIA to NSA to State to DOD to NIH to whatever the hell. Then they get referrals to their counterparts at friendly governments. Th

I'm astonished these guys haven't raised more and sooner. I think they're a huge thunder lizard that will absolutely be one of the big, ubiquitous companies through this decade.

This is tangentally related, but I'm going to break my contract with Verizon after buying a Motorola Devour in March. I believe that Motorola and VZW have broken an implied promise to support my Android phone through the update cycle; it s

I'm non-technical and co-founded a startup. I would never do it again without a technical co-founder or learning to code myself. So I'm learning Ruby. You can do a full-on MSCS from Stanford, or you can just teach yourself how to code, b

This is going to sound a bit presumptuous, but with your background, you might be able to get to market much quicker if you approached some life sciences VCs first. They may be able to introduce you to someone who can handle the CS side, g

Hey, does anyone here have the AirBNB founders' info? It'd be really nice of them if they could help to arrange a donation of an apartment(s) through July in NYC for these girls.

I have to defend the Recurly folks here. They made a bet on flat-rate pricing over per-use pricing. Turns out that a flat-rate plan hurts you on the low end (people who won't use you at all, and where the uproar was) and on the high end (
