    The Grand Canyon is so magnificent. I thought it was all marketing until I saw it. Glacier is my favorite. I thought The Grand Tetons were incredible. Yosemite is incredible but de…

    I’ve been listening to “The Smartest Guys In The Room” (the definitive book on Enron and their scandal) and one of the ways Enron continued to grow and grow is by setting up a real…

    Fantastic. I’ve sold SaaS for three different companies. B2B accounting, Procurement SaaS, and Senior living SaaS (niche, I know). My only rule: 1. Have a good product.

    How long do you have?! A friend of mine pitched me this idea of “onlyfans but for NIL” and I’ve been running with that idea. It’s been an insanely tangled web but there’s some craz…

    I totally agree. This is a terrible place to research - but I also seek to get the “nerd” perspective bc I’m curious if they’ve hacked it to be better. I did some research at a foo…

    Here’s my current flow: 1. ESPN app - mostly for the headlines across sports 2. Tigernet - clemson specific / mostly football. Like the message boards. 3. Instagram - great place t…

    Ask HN: How do you consume sports?

    I’m doing some due diligence on startup ideas. How do you consume sports? Are you constantly on the ESPN app? Is it just Instagram and TikTok? Snapchat? X? Are you on message board…

    It’s a race to the bottom until someone has a durable competitive advantage: it’s usually a market based advantage or a technical advantage. The best companies achieve and maintain…

    I too have the same problem. I’ve always wondered “what if I simply just read them and took a note / maybe linked them to a word or Google doc or something?” I had a friend who did…

    Does anyone know of any companies where this strategy has worked? Obvs lesser of the evils but the fear is that, at some point, the family or the fund, gets too far removed from th…

    Slack being down is so detrimental… it’s crazy. I’ve almost forgotten how to send my coworkers email. It blows my mind how much we are so reliant on a few tools to carry out so muc…
