Yes heroku did a great job, but what about the rest, they may just end up like Loopt, it was hyped and came down to alot of money raised and sold for nothing. And trust me YC isnt …

The buyout prices you described are baby buys, those happen everyday, trust me investors arent thr those low ball buys. Yes people make money, but its not one for the history books…

Buddy, you just described all these companies that were aquired, many are hyped and dont last sometimes thats the only option or move forward. Loopt was aquired doesnt mean it was …

I have wondered about these companies and always thought they were hyped up, but at the end of the day...are they really that good? I don't think soooo :) YC companies seem cool at…

Do you go out and drink much? Seems nice but in the night life the last thing people are going to be doing is using an app to find out the cost of the drinks, then adding them in. …

I would think Harvard has more value than TechStars. Now if you said YC vs Havard, then its a big difference.

This may not apply to PG or alot of others, but you would be surprised how much money people don't really have. I knew someone that I thought had cash. In reality he was broke and …

Design is more than a nice little picture, you can just have text on a page and you still design. Many people that don't know about design think its about images, it's usability, i…

Early stage things only go off of friends or people they know or met already. So forget about those services the founders already know what they want at that early stage. Maybe it …

I dont know, but I dont like the idea of things jumping up that fast and I am sure we will see more soon. Not good.

It like asking - why haven't more successful movie production emerged from San Francisco? It's just not the place for it.

"The problem is, GMail is absolutely unacceptable for business usage, but the folks who use it don’t see it that way." Its odd you say that above. The people who use it are the one…

You seem a bit like myself, a few years back. You are worried about "School Names" or how it looks to others. Don't even worry about what school you attended, worry about the thing…

You make it sound so easy, I know it is not and I can do all that you have stated, but that will take sometime. If it was that easy you can keep that process going and make alot. I…

I think its a great option if the company approves of it.

Yea I understand where your coming from with the Tagxedo (which is really cool, minus the copyright issues that could arise), but putting it on Zazzle would be debatable. Not my de…

I think its a great design coming from a designer myself, but I'm no lawyer and I don't think you can be making money off someones logo or brand. I dont think you need to be a lawy…

I like the video every time Paul Graham says "I dont know" "I dont know". Seems like a good guy. He's a kid himself, I like it.

The success of the startups speak for themselves. I am not sure whats the records are, but the article talks about Techstars being in a variety of cities and meeting alot of friend…

Plain and simple... you can always get a normal job at any time or age, they will be around for awhile. A startup gets harder to do as you get older and family or bills come into p…

My point being the bay area is great to live regardless and you talk about your business doing great, you should be in silicon valley. (2 birds one stone.) I know your just looking…
