I'm curious as to overlap in the portfolio. It is my understanding that VC firms wont typically invest in competing startups but if you see a competitor in the previous batch does that hurt your chances? I know you have at least a coup

A cookbook is the book I have given the most. Ad Hoc at Home by Thomas Keller is an absolutely great book for somebody that is getting into cooking. Of the top of my head some books I gave my brother included Salt, Siddhartha, and Shantaram

I'm definitely a bit biased as I'm working on a startup for financial planning but I agree with you completely. Many people are not going to make big progress towards their longer term financial goals (getting out of debt, buying

Right now your employer makes a deduction from each paycheck and then one ACH payment (across all employees) to the custodian which the recordkeeper then invests at the participant's direction. You way involves the employer making a de

A short answer is that they are replacing employer pension plans so that is how the tax code was constructed. What you first propose would create a lot more administrative overhead for the employer and payroll company. However I could see t

One of my biggest problems is that what you say is true in the way you mean it but it isn't really true. The way an employer gets at it is passing along all plan costs to the employees who then have their accounts debited every quarter

I don't know how I missed you having been in the 401(k) industry for so long as well as following the YC graduating classes. I'd love to talk to you for a few minutes sometime.

Congratulations on launching! I'm particularly impressed you are doing the recordkeeping in addition to advisory. I look forward to crossing paths with you someday. I'm also starting a company in the 401(k) space though focusing c

I haven't done it yet but I just found that Gust offers a similar service to Atlas with a notable difference being that Atlas opens the back account for you. But, based on Patrick's comment, maybe Atlas is now open for everybody.

Yup. I believe it was EFNET #doom and I remember the release was delayed at least a few hours while they were uploading it to their server. I think I stayed up just long enough to start the download which probably took all night on my 56k m

Regarding your point about "the Netflix or Hulu of podcasts" it is important to remember that by far the majority of their content is at least a full season old. They are able to secure the rights to it for less than the cost of p

My hosting costs are minimal but the advice I received in the January office hours was great. I was really impressed with Aaron and his ability to understand my business and be able to provide advice in such a short period of time.
