I've telecommuted on and off for years and I'm doing that right now. Here is what I learned: 1. Always "get ready" for work. Do the same routine as you would if you were going to a…

I do this as well after being hypoglycemic and requiring food every 2 hours. I used the Lean Gains method which is also called Intermittent Fasting (IF). http://www.leangains.com/ …

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to build the community and engage the existing users? I'm going to assume both is true. But the first thing you need to as…

Everyone has great points here. I took up intermittent fasting where I eat within an 8 hour window. Normally, I only eat one huge meal per day. It saves me time too. I also use a k…

Not sure when you plan to start her on programming but I just started my girls on CodeAcademy (I'm not affiliated) because its super easy, teaches by doing, and there's gamificatio…

Indeed, I've heard great things about Chile. http://www.startupchile.org/

No, he's correct - it can be years longer than the UK for a PhD. avg is 7 years here (5 w/a MA) compared to 3 in the UK. But I agree that he should just go for both and try to make…

I'm curious about the statement you made that the UK uni's won't let you work on a startup during your course of study. I plan to apply for the PhD (as an American in the UK) in pe…

4 reasons why you should test your products on super users first.

I wish I had a recommendation for a doctor familiar with tech startups. It could be tough to find that. Have you considered looking at your diet too? Also, networking with other te…

Very well put. I needed this explanation.

Yeah, nailed it. Its a tough trade-off and a really good reason why there should be 3 co-founders.

I agree with landing page optimization but a few more questions to consider: What are you doing to up-sell post-signup? Are you holding webinars, doing newsletter campaigns? The si…

You can try Angel List and Seed Camp. The former is more like kickstarter and the latter is like a YC type thing for Europe.

I went back to school at 27 and finally finished with a BA and MA at 32. I would totally do it again. However, I would do some things differently but at least I did it because that…

I use it to connect - exactly. I've been able to join valuable groups, find competitors, develop partnerships, and follow conferences that I couldn't attend. I get updates about ne…

This is directed to tech co-founders. How much activity do you put into your business outside of coding? Do you actively recruit users? Do you take part in the pitch decks? Do you …

I rarely see a VC or incubator read the entire statement or much less click through to a beta. They care about numbers. You could have the next Google or FB but if you can't show t…

Dude, I totally get your rant. Hey, we've all been there. Please don't take anything personally or you're in for a huge depression. Just take it as constructive criticism and keep …

I totally get what you're trying to do but boring is sometimes best. I just want to know (in order): Your skillset, level of skills, how long you've been doing what you're doing, a…

You were turned down by one program? You sound really bitter and I can see why they turned you down - you're not ready to be an entrepreneur. As a person running a start up, you're…

I like the concept but as someone who has had the unfortunate task of going through tons of resumes, there's just too much info on here. We scan. If something catches our eye, we r…

I cut way back on FB recently and about to challenge myself to a social media fast. However, Twitter is essential for connecting with other in business. I gain a TON of value from …

The subtle comments DO cultivate such a policy. Sexism in its worst form isn't overt - it is the small comments that are harmful.
