Are you referring to all of those micro-acquisitions that Google and others seem to do? Personally, I'm not very interested in working insane hours on a project with hazy revenue potential only to be acquired for the equivalent of a nice signing bonus. Maybe if these companies had a clear path to profitability, their suitors would be more interested in the product.

#4"Even if you have 100,000 users and 1,000 pay for your paid account. If you charge $10 per month, you are still making only 10k per month, barely making the salary of one person. No one will invest in a company like that."
If I have a side project pulling in 10K a month, I don't really care if nobody wants to invest. I've already succeeded.

Barely making the salary of a really, really highly-paid person.

On the side of whatever you do normally, to boot.

#7Are the people who are making "weekend startups" asking for investment money? Post seems more against weekend projects as "startups" than investments.

#8While I agree that most of the "review my " here are pretty Lame I must say that this post entirely misses the point.
So what if the authors of these project chooses to call them startups. Nobody has a right or the power to decide what is a startup or not.
Especially not some guy with a whiny attitude.
Re: That's why I will never invest any money in your company
#9The tone of your post smells of too much hate. You sound like someone who could write a cool-headed post explaining when you think startups should try to raise money and when they should just enjoy the passive income from a weekend project.
Also, don't forget the biggest hit of this decade(facebook) was a college kid's side project just some years ago. As was twitter. And many others.

So if the little website that takes text you type in and gives you a URL that has that text shown REALLY BIG is now defined as a Startup, what should the rest of us with real businesses call ourselves?
