    Everything you’re going through is perfectly normal for a startup founder closing up shop. Everything about it is a painful process, and it can be damaging to your self-worth. Mour…

    I agree fully, though I’d like to add a layer of nuance. The best engineering leaders I’ve encountered have been hands-off (as you said, at a certain point it’s nigh impossible to …

    I’ve been in the enterprise vr industry for almost 7 years, and you’re correct with your estimate being very close to where I’d put it. The vast majority of revenue is from gaming.…

    If you have a vr headset, check out “Becoming Homeless” by Stanford’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab.

    Very impressive product- I certainly applaud your efforts and agree that the price is competitive for what it is. You can even use ultra wide monitors at similar resolutions as a c…

    1. Start with a problem, not a solution. And validate that you can reach customers who will pay for your solution to solve their problem, before day 1. 2. Don’t pay attention or co…

    I went from a 3 person startup doing low 6 figures in annual revenue to a startup in the same space that had just closed its series A. I interviewed with FAANG’s and startups in ny…

    VR ironically might fit the exact definition that he's going for with the iPhone as being a "real trend." His friends, and many others, definitely have let their headsets catch dus…

    Thanks for the quality article. I was going to reply with the same; why not use HLS. The point of poor support, especially in Chrome, is a good one, though.

    This is a wonderful project. It looks very sharp and has pretty good components. However, it's usually significantly better, cheaper and easier to build an "almost" silent system, …

    I'm on year 2 of my startup, and around month 9, I felt similar to you, so I can relate. Real traction began around month 20, and its still modest. Here are a couple of issues I se…

    Very interesting. I haven't used GearVR much, but Google Cardboard/Daydream SDK's can be annoyingly bulky and inflexible at times. The new input methods that VR has brought about c…
