I can’t pick one thing… world upheaval, economic upheaval, health and family challenges. Hoping for a bit more chill in ‘23

Great addition. Pretty seamless how you can comment right from the Rapportive sidebar on people's FB postings.

Very interesting set of takes, thanks Jason. I think "LP without the fees" is the most provocative...

Yeah, these are great!

Very good illustration of needing an experienced startup lawyer. It's true. And really interesting story in its own right :)

Very useful to see top angels all in one place and be able to follow them.

I think there are some good parallels. The analogy of Dharmesh as Jordan is funny :) although he is a great sensei of course. I especially agree with disregarding the press and sho…

Great site, fun summary of popular links.

Useful! I am following the 100 twitter account :)

Awesome bundle. Almost triggers the Paradox of Choice...

Very nice. Would be cool to see how people moved up/down since July :)

Great progress, congrats! Your site design is really fantastic. Not just the look but the demo video, Get Started call to action, etc.

Agreed, it's a tough problem. I think Boston investors want to support Boston startups, but because of their structure/individual limitations (mentioned in the article) they can't …

I think those are very fair questions. On the one hand I agree a lot of startups can be derivative and may not pass the "how is this making the world better" question. But at the s…

Noah, excellent breakdown as usual. And I totally agree with your take (vs. Wesabe's post-mortem post). I'm going to send your article to like a dozen people right now, that I prea…

Good post, and I think it's great that Peter Thiel is providing an alternate viewpoint re: "stopping out"

Good post and good tips. I'm aware of most of them but the reminder is definitely helpful to keep me blogging.

Good real-world stories and inspiration, Jason!

Being a mile wide and an inch deep in too many functional areas.

Great ideas, many detailed that I have not seen laid out openly before. Being very selective about "who really wants in on the closed beta" is a great point.

Likewise, proud investor! And totally addicted user. Rahul, Sam and Martin are really capable and some of the best at listening to users and to the market.

Very interesting. The top 10 are pretty expected, but the rest are more meaty. Great to see @dcurtis at #11 and @yegg at #32. Wouldn't have expected @garyvee to be big with the HN …

Nicely done, Jeff, useful!

Finding out about them was mostly my cofounder Rebecca, who's a social maven in her own right. But, once you attend a few you start to find out and get invited to a lot more, so it…

I do, and it's already used all the time (e.g. DailyCandy charges thousands of dollars for a Dedicated Email for a given city's email list). What we did was sort of roll our own ca…
