I'm already a heavy user of hellofax/hellosign but this falls into the "Fucking Awesome" category of new things for me. This is just WAY better than having to download and drag and drop into hellofax then email from there which I honestly a

Vesting means that each owners shares of the company will be given to them over time so right off the bat neither of the people own an outright 50% stake. for example a common scenario is a Four year vesting with a one year cliff, accelerat

Why not just pay someone to code up your own idea and spend your time and money marketing that? it doesn't have to be perfect to become a successful product. Dan Shapiro has built and sold a couple of products that way and it has worked out

This is cool. Twilio is one of the first API's I fell in love with strictly because of their docs and how easy it was to learn everything, there are some other API's that took me longer to get used to working with (Google Maps comes to mind

clearly you only read the name not the entire post. the original commenter mentions that it is his own name and was just pointing out that by doing research you could post the wrong name and adversely affect someone who was otherwise innoce

I have found a hack to get a DUNS number instantly that I have used for 5-10 different companies of mine, it works every time and as far as I can tell there is no backlash. feel free to email me if you're reading this and want to save $230

It's similar to Wepay's except with the use of Wepay's API you're tied to their gateway and thus their rates as well. With this you'll have your choice of payment gateway (Stripe, etc) while also being able to use the features you love for

Speaking from Experience, the Partners interviewing you probably won't even know which of the interviewees did or did not accept checks. Kirsty issues them as you ask before or after you interview and it is very casual. I certainly don't th

For me this answer is more one of personal preference. I love what I do. After I sold my first company I was sure I would take 5 years off and not work, I couldn't even sit still for a month before I was itching to build something else and

I have never really looked for a job honestly, but if I were going to here's what I would do. Find the type of company you want to work for. Narrow your list down to about 5 of those companies you'd like to work at. Now sit down and write a

The reason people don't seem to be calling for those applications is because of family ties and connections, there was certainly never speculation that any of those men attended college on a Foreign Exchange scholarship. I am not a fan of a

Speaking from an Entrepreneurial perspective an "Acquihire" is what our investors like to call a "Soft Landing" AKA we ran out or are running out of money with little to no traction. Typically an Acquihire is not much more than a way to giv

Overall a great article and a great point. I've always argued that most of us learn more from our failures than out successes. I've had both, but I've always felt like I walked away learning much more after a failure. Being good to your emp

Kudos to Josh and the rest of the team. This is something that can change the market in a positive way and hopefully help take iPads from being almost solely a device for consumption to a device used to spur creation and innovation as well

Nothing at all. That's something I think I did not portray clearly enough in this post. There is nothing wrong with being a janitor. Someone has to do it, the point was really to display that you have to do anything and everything necessary

Thanks for the feedback. I typically italicize and bold things in an effort to break up the black/white monotony of my site but I'll keep the advice in mind and maybe go back and make some edits. As for the 'fucking' I agree, it was actuall
