Also, is it recommendable for startups to apply to places like YC if this scenario is true for them? This has to happen all the time. What's to stop a VC from protecting his invest…

Is there a conflict of interest? Or is it just a case of hedging bets? I would imagine at some point the portfolio would reach a size that would make it difficult to avoid.

"If you plan on signing up for an incubator try to get an idea of how much time there is allocated by the various partners in the incubator for this mentoring and maybe talk to som…

Thank you.

I have been feeling a bit uneasy about the scope of our idea for some time now. Today I feel much better because we have managed to whittle it down to one core product that is easy…

I have a small doubt about one of the questions. "Please tell us about the time you, ONE FOUNDER NAME, most successfully hacked some (non-computer) system to your advantage." We ar…

Which, if true, will bring even deeper market penetration. Never thought iPhone discussions could sound so sleazy.

I would have to agree with you. It is not last.fm because there is no scrobbler. What would really be interesting is a scrobbler that worked across all platforms including browsers…
