Think of university not only as a handful of classes a semester, but instead as your personal research park. All the resources a hacker/entrepreneur needs can be found on a college campus. Explore what it has to offer beyond the track the

There must be a template article out there for journalists. When it's a slow news day you fire it up, fill in the blanks, and a few minutes later you've got an article about how 20 somethings live with their parents, have no self direction

We're moving fast and hope word spreads quickly. The important thing to note is this is a bottom up movement and strives to be as egalitarian as possible. More info at http://www.scalewell.com and http://twitter.com/scaleswell

Hope to see everyone who can make it here. YC and Techstars alum are greatly encouraged to attend. These participants are looking up to you. It's also a good opportunity to meet mentors and potential cofounders for startups who can make i

Money, although a very objective method of quantifying value, is not the only measure. In a literal example, why attend university and pay to do work? The answer is, there is value in learning something. Presumably, that is what this indi

If you can do design, but also understand how to optimize that design with things like google web optimizer you will be on your way to having a niche. Beautiful graphic design is only half (or less) the battle. Many people also cannot affo

In the coming weeks we will be updating the site with more resources. Since we are coming in at a lower funding positioning than YC or Techstars, we will be supporting groups to view us as a stepping stone to those seed funds and similar o

It is being done bootstrap style (bootstrapped venture funding is no longer an oxymoron). If you want to be a trustee, simply request to be so from the form on the site, and we'll get you in the queue. We've have very positive interest in

This question could be posed "Does a x's brand matter?" All else being equal, yes. However, in the case of an example like Sequoia, their brand isn't some magical thing achieved through advertising. The brand recognition is a result of ha

The battle is often over familiar vs. intuitive designs. Creating a new design paradigm that is intuitive is much more difficult that presenting a user with a design they are familiar with. Most web design seems to follow the path of leas

There is no real principle you are basing this on. It is your own assumption that "this person will do anything to get followers." All web content that is popular in some part by UX practices that were invented by someone else. There is n

I think the reason is all the things you mentioned, and more. Most of the other project management software still seems sterile, and you have no sense of who is creating it. As far as features go, if everyone on a team isn't using a featur
