Good comments overall. One insight here is to put yourself in their shoes to understand how to negotiate the best outcome. Most people don't rationalize themselves as mean or psych…

This is awesome. Estonia could have a shot at becoming the "Delaware" for non-US entrepreneurs, esp EU, i.e. have all the high-growth companies incorporate because of clear, friend…

Plug: I'm one of the founders of Ginger.io, the healthcare company Larry, Sergey & Vinod mention. We're doing some really interesting things in healthcare and sensor data-- deployi…
