This. I think the biggest problem startups make is finding a problem and building a solution, but not realizing there is a difference in problem size, value and pain per your medic…

Very cool, Looking forward to seeing how uberStarter grows. I think you have a good model to target incubators and accelerators.

> "Its the help a startup needs between "office hours" and execution. I do think that there is a piece missing here, that can be developed." Pretty much agree with everything you s…

I don't think the accelerators/funds are missing the obvious, but I do believe that (because of the high signal-to-noise ratio of the startup bubble) many rookie founders don't dis…

Good point, there are a lot of bad ideas out there. But, even the best ideas/products are not what they started out as, they involved pivots and market changes. Was this due to luc…

How much time would this save the average customer? Seems like setting up on the existing platforms are pretty easy already, and rackspace already has an auto deployment option.

>"Most KPIs (traffic, revenue) are too volatile on a daily basis to be useful. Yet “last 30 days daily” is more or less the default option." YES! If you're building a dashboard, do…

"What if everything you think you know about taking products to market is wrong? What would you do differently if you realized that only 1 out of 10 new product introductions resul…

+1 for Ben and the Site5 team!

I Just had my 1 year anniversary of standing desk. It is great, although I do sometimes get tired but I have a stool for that. You can see my desk design here. It was acquired for …

As a startup founder in the same city, this pumps me up. Having watched the story unfold over time, it's a healthy reminder that "overnight success" is always years of perseverance…

An interesting perspective from a die hard Bama fan on their loss, his intense passion for the team (maybe a little too much) and the lessons he learned from the perspective of ent…

This is interesting. With the "remotization" of the workplace where anyone, especially engineers can work from anywhere, instead of moving outward, we're moving inward to these "hu…

I have a ton of respect for Adii, but from my experience it is SIGNIFICANTLY harder to do something great without a cofounder. Sure, if your a cereal entrepreneur like Adii or capt…

Enjoyed the video, disappointed there's no actual discussion to be had about it here :(

"Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else" by Geoff Colvin is the best book on this topic that i've read.

funny to see this post, I tweeted about this 1 year ago, saw it pop up on Timehop, and built a quick rough draft on my blog this morning. very cool library!

Hmm, this is really interesting. Have any other communities experimented with this?

I agree. But, there is some value in "Advocacy" for people in this position. Although, that card is probably played out by now and its cliche/annoying unless someone actually propo…

this is so crazy, never knew my 2007 macbook could have the accelerometer utilized via a browser.

"what most attracts me (and other “math men”) to R&D in a startup is the free flow of creativity across divisions and a culture of innovation" Creativity begets creativity Don't fo…

Don't forget that customer value trumps hi-tech cool factor when it comes to actually having your new idea see the light of day

Thanks for teaching me a new term, I've not heard of astroturfing before. Not sure how this will be applicable to any of my projects right now, but I've got to admit the demo's wor…
