Choose Stanford (MIT, Harvard). The major benefit which you will get there is alumni and networking. If you are low on funds, you will have to be extremely wise on budget. But don't let debt scare you. When you are done, you can take tw

Let me clear my point. Speaking about outsourcing, I was talking about offshore development, outside US. Well, still, a lot of startups are always looking for someone, either programmer, or designer, or database developer, etc. There are

You can't be employed by the company you own. And you can't share the ownership to avoid this restriction. As far as I know, they don't care are you 1% or 100% owner. So, this means neither H1B or EBGC are possible. And yes, among with s

Well, to my understanding, the first one is pretty obvious and it was covered already here. But definitely I'd like to see the types of answers for the second one. ;)

Thanks, I was also considering Rockridge, but it seems to me to far from Silicon Valley. Speaking about Potrero Hill - it's nice, but too expensive. I'd like not to pay more then $1,800-2,000 for 2 beds - I can't do more unless my startup

I think I will have a home office for some time. I want to spend the most of my time for my startup and doing some remote job over the Internet.

Well, #3 is not good choice. ;) That's even not a subject for discussion. Besides, our potential clients already gave up on Google when they are coming to us. #2 - well, maybe yes, maybe not. We make it easier. And #1 - not much people

Beta testers are already hooked-up, so their opinions would not be too objective. I need some thoughts from those, who never used us before, but now can get an opportunity to try.

Can you tell me why? I'd really appreciate this kind of feedback.

I already showed an example for questions, which I see to be typical there: which shirt to choose, where to shop, which club to go for, what present for girlfriend to buy. Also, we could be a great match for market research during the prod

We've got a dedicated server at ServerBeach, everything else is a typical LAMP. We've got enough skills with Java and Ruby, but PHP could be the best choice to bootstrap quickly.

That's not exactly what we're talking about. We're not questionary service, but instant and multiple answers. Instant, means, within very short period of time, like 60 minutes max. See my other comments. Thanks.

I wasn't very clear with my point. We're not about professional services, but with something, which doesn't need a degree or special skills. Like choice between red or black shirt, one nightclub or another, how good is some idea, the best

Personally, I don't think this will work well. Although, it's a good idea for some niched startup, but for something more global, we'll never get much luck with crowdsourced support, comparing to hundred thousands of subscribers.

That's the one which is really close. However, our main point to to provide multiple answers, but not a simple solutions. Besides, the Amazon's idea is not about instant answers, so there are not many chances to get your answer(s) within

Mostly it's about delivering updates to people, who want to participate. Email notifications, IM, cell... Also it'd bring a spirit of a challenge, and so you'll have to hurry up and use your chance to answer the question and get some mone
