Similar age and situation but have started a couple of companies before. I spent some time thinking about ideas last week to keep the mind fresh. At first none of the ideas seemed worth anything, many…

Would be good to see a plot of housing prices in SF during the last bubble and the post-bubble ramifications. We've been here before so not including that graph seems strange.

An alternative narrative is that One Wheel are manufacturing in China - or purchasing multiple components from Chinese factories - and their plans were leaked to another factory owner. This is relativ…

Why do you think that they are, "on the whole", bad?

Is it Paul Graham's job to fix those problems that cause inequality? I don't think it is. I do think that it's great that people like Bill Gates invest their billions into improving the…

Most wealth doesn't come from "wages" or salaries. It comes from inheritance and increasing value of assets. Many high profile CEO's are worth tens / hundreds of millions but …

They will end the year with $20m revenue and the deal is $20m cash plus incentives. So effectively a 1x deal at the outset, rising to 2x if they meet performance and retention goals.

Hoover et al can build their product however they want, just be honest and consistent. Looking through old threads I found this cracker of a post in reply to Ryan about their "anti voter ring pol…

I think the suggestion they're making is that if intelligence agencies instead tracked data like who is renting cars/ hotels etc they would be able to better track potential extremists activ…

Are you suggesting your study of two people trumps this study?

Also from what I'm seeing winning bids in this market are at least 120-130%

There are tons of resources for this niche. Amy Hoy + Rob Walling would be two people I would check out.

Are any of the other cofounders or team joining you in FlyMaids?

Also because, they say, there are costs to the prison in having phones including monitoring to make sure prisoners aren't breaking any laws. I think these costs should be a cost of doing business…

If you're trying to raise a few million dollars and you're not a PowerPoint jockey it feels like money well spent to me. Our pitch deck was just black text on a white background but would ha…
