The good news is, you're 20. You have plenty of time to recover from this experience. You can even go back to college at this point, graduate, and still only be 24. The bad news is, 4 months of living expenses is not enough to eject from

Im interested to know the story of how you acquired your domain name (and at what price).

I live in San Diego. I hear there is a war for tech talent, but it hasn't spilled into my neck of the woods (yet?). What is interesting to me is how unwilling startups seem to be to: - Grow their own talent internally by hiring inexperienc

A question that I would pose to you is 'Do you already have an internal PR campaign started'? In other words, how are you keeping your 'targets' up to date with company progress and milestones? By targets I mean prospective investors, boar

I have always seen wealth as a function of time and choice. I would echo the sentiments of thibaut_barrere, reasonattlm, and especially bmelton (as it pertains to time and choice). In other words, I would call myself 'wealthy' if I had the

For what its worth, my lawyer charges $2000, $5000 for a full, and $3000 to convert a provisional to a full. Not the kind of money I would find in my couch cushions, but not 30k either. He's a good guy. I worked with him when he was at Gr
