As usual, stating the obvious here, it's a cheap way for them to find security holes.

I've relocated around the US many times but never outside of the US so take that however you will. I don't really think much about all the variables. I just moved. I felt the new location was always better for my growth and business and at

I second on #3. There should be a quick link to log in and remove reminders. Also very curious, what is the monetization strategy here.

Well you have two primary types of non-technical people. Those who understand tech but can't write code and those who don't understand any of it at all but have ideas. It's the ones with just ideas that rarely (although it does happen) succ

Saw this a couple weeks ago. But you can't really blame them. The internet is probably the greatest revolution of our lifetime and it would extremely be difficult to begin describing something you haven't even used yet that would lead to su

I don't think they're all bad, but they are slow. I do have gripes with some of the VC and investments vids. Having built and sold a startup, I know first hand that some of these concepts aren't just over simplify but some are just dead wro

I think a better question is what is it exactly you're trying to do. What are you passionate about. Stating you want an MBA or MS in Finance doesn't really say much. Can't provide good feedback like that.

This is very true. Unfortunately not enough entrepreneurs out there get this. There are exceptions to the rule but there are exceptions to everything somewhere. Generally speaking though, if your company fails, more often than not, it's bec

An NDA means almost nothing these days. It's more of a scare tactic than something tangible and certainly not very enforceable (at least in California) and most people wouldn't find it worthwhile to do so. That said, there is less and less

If you're both coders, stay true to what you're suppose to be doing. Bootstrap your prototype yourselves and make it a true MINIMUM viable product. You don't need a 3rd developer as much as you want one, or a 4th or 5th right now. One you g

Networking, networking, networking... Do this at local events and meetups and do this at big industry related events. The cost at most is your travel cost and time. Getting connected helps spread the word better early on, especially if you'

I agree with the poster that NOT all engineers are better off at a startup. It's not a one size fit all type of scenario

As far as I know, they have an Amazon Store you can integrate into your website that allows you to do purchases off your site, so that it doesn't redirect to Amazon. However, I'm not too familiar with all the details but you should look int

Not a good idea. Some times your first chance is your only chance to make an impression. If among any of these investors are people he would want to raise from (and god I hope people are choosing their investors more carefully than who is w

The title "Tools to make your website mobile compatible" is misleading. Should be retitled to "Tools to make your Joomla website mobile compatible". Don't try to linkbait.

You and several thousand of other people here (and everywhere else for that matter) are exactly the same. The talent you seek are often not cheap. If you're expecting to get people to build your company for you without much value propositio

I did it over a year ago when it was on sale for $99. I got it for my wife and myself. While I did find out more about myself, many of the diagnosis weren't completely unexpected base on my eating habits. I would still recommend doing it bu

I think that rather than just throwing out numbers, what they should do is evaluate what the actual cost of education would be and remove all the useless excess courses added to the curriculum unnecessarily. Blindly raising tuition and char

I used Yammer at our last startup and at our current startup. While I think there are some concerns with what you potentially may say or don't say on a Yammer feed, the benefits for us far outweigh the disbenefits. Not to mention most of th

The title of this thread should really be changed. First, I get that LivingSocial is of the same type of business and hence was mentioned in the title but then its more than just Groupon and LivingSocial. Second, it's not Groupon that is en

We hacked together a simple system in a day to get user feedback from our beta group. You don't need something fancy and surely it can be replaced with something better down the road. For an MVP, it should really be an MVP. Just put togethe

This is from personal experience so I want everyone reading this next comment I'm going to make with a grain of salt but in choosing a business partner, make sure you got the balls to tell them what's on your mind, good or bad. And the abil
