I had mine in 2006 at 32. Details http://davidcrow.ca/article/1130/barcamper Make sure you go your an annual check up. Figure out how to get some exercise. And pay attention to the…

But we should put them in inflatable sumo suits for cushioning. Maybe a helmet.

The article should have in the header a canonical URI that points to Jesse's original post. My bad if the template doesn't have this explicitly.

I like the idea of putting founders into a cyclotron, accelerating them to near the speed of light, and seeing what kind of energy they release when they collide with other founder…

It's really clean. The LeapJS/AngularJS touchpoints look like they just make sense.

Looks very interesting. Similar but with additional widgets that aren't in TogetherJS. Interesting to use eventing model and tie it more directly to lead scoring and qualification.…

I love all of the "arm chair CEOs" that assume by getting on a plane that they'll meet PMarcA in the SFO airport, they will raise $50MM on their idea and their good looks. Raising …

Seems to still be there according to LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=12661295&locale=...

It's a good thing they make investments, and not edits.

Copywriters and editors, they do good work...

What should it have been: "Ultimately, the team you build is the company you build" ?

I have had my say on the broker model http://startupnorth.ca/2012/09/26/brokers-smokers-and-midnig... Which is different than pay to pitch. Pay to pitch is broken for investment. I…

Frank & Oak - seriously. You know that I love the guys, but a DAU for F&O. I think that I'm easily 2xMAU maybe a WAU. But no way am I a DAU for F&O. Google Search GMail/Google Cale…

I'm reminded of Andrew Chen's post on Facebook DAU/MAU number http://andrewchen.co/2012/05/16/quora-has-facebooks-daumau-a... Part of the reason that email is so sticky is that it …

Disclosure up front.

Working on it with vmfarms guys (we got 10x our high point traffic using hourly measure on this post) updating our infrastructure to be more resilient.

I'm biased. Been a early team addition at a company that raised $500k from Celtic House in mid-00s. No fees on that raise. I have also raised from IAF, and from larger angel groups…

I dislike the pay-to-pitch immensely. I think it is also the consulting fee and transaction charges on the capital raised. This is such a non-entrepreneur friendly way to facilitat…

Sorry, see previous comments about system configuration. I had removed WP-SuperCache. Have also upgraded memory and adding a varnish caching layer for future.

Sorry, I messed up. My configuration was substandard this morning. Upgraded the memory available to the WP & MySQL instances. Turned on WP-Supercache. And adding a Varnish layer in…

Agreed. 100%. It prays on desperate entrepreneurs that will do anything to keep their businesses alive. And it's wrong, for so many reasons.

Sorry I turned off SuperCache to find a CSS/JS error. Forgot to turn it back on. Have moved DNS to CloudFlare.

We need to break the culture of entitlement that seems to run rampant with Canadian wannabe founders. I'm tired of the broken record, "people won't fund me therefore there is no ca…
