I owned a motorcycle store / Harley service shop, a jewelry store and a powersport distribution company (w/ 50 employees). All brick & morter. I started programming out of necessity, which became a competitive advantage. Now I own a s

I log notes about people that I meet along the way, usually on the back of their card. Then I try to input this data in my contact manager and set a reminder in the future to follow up. This simple process also helps me to measure my progr

I was one of the supporters in that survey. Curious to see what pricing sensitivity levels the HN community would support for this service. From a business perspective, this would help you focus on a specific segment, product mix and open

Your situation sounds very familiar. I was once a startup CTO to a vc-backed company with very successful founders. Although I was a major shareholder, it was pretty clear that everyone was replaceable at any given time. In the end I resig
