A few companies like 9gag and Vayable did YC and 500 the accelerator, but others are just YC companies with 500 as an investor. E.g., you see 500/Techstars crossovers in the list. There are zero YC/Techstars crossovers because both are acc

The article isn't about Dustin being right or wrong, it's about the regrettable way he treated a fellow enterprising young person who was trying to start something. It's really easy to dismiss and poke holes in peoples' ideas. The funny th

The game looks really fun. I'm going to get it now. One thing I looked for and didn't see was additional tiers of contribution a la Kickstarter. The post-game credits tier, the t-shirt tier, the poster tier, etc. The art and game looks s

I have experience with this type of customer acquisition. It works, but it's painful in that it is extremely boring. To take some of the boredom out, I did two things: (1) Used oDesk to gather email addresses with business information and

Awesome job, Andrew. It's very cool what you've built. A few nits: - I didn't realize "Try It Now" was a link to play with the product without signing up. This might do better as a button. - I think the great Jotleafs that people have cre

No, they were pretty up front that Sparrow was a talent acquisition. They said that the product would continue to exist but they weren't going to update it and they were going to work on new projects at Google.

I met Phil at a chance encounter at Think Coffee in NYC and Mark Cuban happened to be there. In an awkward situation in which everyone was trying to impress Cuban, Phil came off as a genuine and nice guy. Good luck to you on the next thin

True, but I think the point stands: it's not an impossible position, because the partner never had to work at Square in the first place. If he can get a job at Square, he could most likely get a job anywhere in SF/the Valley.

I have no qualms with what Suster writes here. At the same time, I've encountered a number of very powerful counterexamples that gives me pause. - 37signals: Renowned for its strong company culture, 37signals talks often about how having a

As a fan and free user of Mixpanel (so take my comment with a grain of salt), I really wish you guys would do more with education. A simple library of use cases with how to implement them in Mixpanel would be an awesome start. No coding re
