The more you say in here, the better chance you have of finding a person. Pitch something.

I could see some limited use out of it. Hopefully there will be something more. Other than that, it seems like chocolate syrup on a yummy hamburger.

Infomercial as inthe kind you see on TV, or just some super dooper presentation whipped up in 3dsmax/premiere?

Aren't you the guy that emailed me? Sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you at startup school. I still don't think its that dangerous of advice. Sure, if somebody is working in a similar industry, doing actual work on the start up in th

Nice. I need to make one of these very soon. I'm looking for co-founders for a new approach to online gambling, and most people don't really understand the casino business that much deep down. Something like this can help out quite a bit

They're not THAT expensive to start up. I'm sure theres ways to get an LLC or S-corp out of being offshore. Probably the managing partner would be in the US. Here's some Nevada LLC forms: http://www.sos.state.nv.us/comm_rec/crforms/p

IP agreements are the least of your worries. They don't matter that much and are really really hard to enforce. Basically it matters if you steal some kind of trade secret of a lot of existing clients/contacts. Not having enough time to

C-corp is fine, don't worry about it. Resident agent == US citizen or service. Any other officers/owners can be offshore.

Yeah, the largest problems with dating sites today is the "creepy" guy issue, and the problem that marginally attractive girls are in the minority, and get literally bombarded by guys. Hopefully, this can eliminate these problems with the

All they need to do now is get past the hurdle of locality. Okcupid and plentyoffish haven't even done that really, outside of california or really condensed areas. I'd be using it right now if it had more women in Vegas. Once that miles

Nice. It was fun hanging out with them. It was like a whole other startup school, by watching them work.

by zkinion 20y ago
Yeah, theres a ton of startups in all these areas. One must find a totally different approach or do something different.

This looks nice. Mobile is lame right now because you can't develop anything and have it go across all the carriers. Hopefully this can fix it. I'd love to get to know the developers of this.

"Business" is almost always about how you present yourself/your ideas. Jobs is a genius at presentation. I thought I was great at presentation, It's helpful to think ahead and prepare multiple pitches, including the elevator pitch, the c

I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!!! At startup school, at the end, Adam was giving some advice of making a bold statement at the start, then scaling it down telling you how you're going to get there. That was great salesmanship, and GREAT advice.

Sites that depend upon users to somehow benefit other users (most web2.0), can be faced with a chicken-or-egg situation when starting up. Where do these first users come from? These tricks aren't "ruthless" at all. Often, it is necessar

Just like huge mainframes are dwindling, the same trend can follow across other types of hardware.

Why do you have to take an offer at all? It normally takes anywhere from 1-2 years to make a site successful enough to justify selling for a gargantuan amount. In 3 months, how much growth can you get to show enough promise of future grow

Most founders with families in the startup stage of business don't see them that much anyways. Plus you have to network alot so you're always seeing people. However, there would be a lacking of intimate contact. You can bond with other

I read the whole article and still didn't see how show stopper ads would work. Does it just go straight to the ad seemingly out of nowhere? Thats the equivalent to a popup/under in the web world.

I used card service international (owned by linkpoint), which had some hidden charges but wasn't too bad in the end. That was over 2 years ago. I don't know what is good now. ccbill, epoch, ibill and many others are all 3rd party and ch

Interesting article, but I wouldn't always believe those charts right away. A graph of a coin toss can even look non-random...

by zkinion 20y ago
Yeah, this article hit home. I've got funding/idea/biz plan and have been looking for some co-founders/employees, but everybody I have met thus far would be bricks (dead weight) in the equation. I'm going to meet as many people as I can

Management really isn't that difficult. Its just unfamiliar because we've been told what to do for a really really long time, and finally having to tell yourself to tell somebody else what to do might seem strange. Its all in thinking out

I've done the copy/paste/find&replace stuff before with legal terms. It's done alot more than you realize. Even lawyers do it sometimes. Once you start growing/getting users, then its probably better to find an honest lawyer.
