Last week he very kindly answered some doubts about international startups on YC. And that was a ASK HN with no upvotes... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5253584

I am 33 and started to learn a month ago, I need some time to realise if I "bloom". I am starting with front-end developing, it looks much more rewarding to start of...

Would be too shocking if I consider this a "How to find a non-technical co-founder" question? Because I think that is just what you need. I don't think a freelance, temporary or part-time marketing person would be a good choice. A real co-f

Freelance translators might work. But, please, don't be cheap. I am brazilian, and an odd, "google translator" type of language is worst than keeping it in english(or even using portuguese from Portugal). For those of us who understand engl

Why not founding it again? A crutial point of a startup success is timing. Maybe this is a case of founder's timing. Founders all the time decide to pivot or persevere. And sometimes, to quit. Why it has to be a permanent quit? Three years

Advising someone not to launch a startup in any industry because that industry is broken is an oxymoron. People should be launching a startup to disrupt that industry, not running away from it! Does social media equals ads-only revenue? Why

Fair enough. Thank you very much for the kindness of providing the examples I asked!

Yes, they are. Based on US too, though. Trying to find more about their story, sounds interesting. Thanks for the answers, but there is any downside of an offical YC company list and info?

Hmmm... all of them from Canada or England, and some are based on US. Well, I guess we will have to be the first latin team there! ;)

Ask HN: Are there companies based outside US among YC alumni?

As i see it, it is self funding. And the "no" is actually a "not yet". As the author puts it, is a problem to seed investors, because now the founders themselves have the money to their own seed. And nothing has changed to VC capital. I don

I have a very particular view of pitchs. The other day, on my former job, I had a meeting with wery important CEOs. I had already quit my job and the meeting was to explain my decision, as these CEOs were important clients and I used to han

Just a point, that some students were there to ensure no one breaks the boycott, and if someone did, these would come in too. So, enforcing the other's decisions and changing your own after see their decision is not exactly Prisoner's Dilem

Totally misleading title (good choice for AL, bad for HN). I am myself a 1-man startup and it is hard to get any good advice other than "don't be a 1-man startup". Well, I am. And I am pretty sure is the right choice for me for now. I don't
