Do you really have to pay yourself "reasonable" compensation? I don't doubt that you were told that, but it is interesting that multiple CEOs of large, public companies (e.g. Brin/Schmidt/Page at Google, Jobs at Apple) pay themselves $1 per

I had a similar situation a few months ago. My goals were to get something up and running relatively quickly but it was my first python web app and I wanted to make sure that I actually understood what was going on underneath the covers. I

I think that his lesson number 2 ("No separation between the technology organization and the product organization") is an interesting one, and to my mind very wrong. The goal seems right -- making sure that the product is built with the cus

"The "IQ test" quote refers not to how fast they have to decide, but the amount of equity we usually ask for. In the median case it's 6%. If we take 6%, we have to improve a startup's outcome by 6.4% for them to end up net ahead. That's a r

This reminds me of something I always wonder about: the importance of management in startups (once they hit, say, 8 employees). For the most part, if you hire the right people they are self-motivated and in general the team has a clear dire

Most large tech companies have an explicit prohibition on non-lawyers doing patent searches. At all. Doing the patent search won't get you sued, but if you are sued and they win, the fact that you did the search means that they can hit y

One thing to be careful of here. If you intend to implement the idea (rather than just patent it) doing the search puts you at risk to some degree. If you do the search yourself (possibly not finding the relevant patent) and then do the imp

That is definitely true. According to the Battelle book "Search" (good book by the way) and others, they tried to pitch themselves as a tech provider to Yahoo and others. That plan failed since no one was interested, and they went their own
