Thanks for the wisdom. I appreciate it.
The e-mail thing is the killer. Can you make recommendations for how to network with investors when someone is coming from outside Silicon Valley? I too am in the finance space and my networks are concentrated in NY and…
Bill, I enjoyed this article a great deal. Can you explain the basics behind your process for speaking to investors after demo day? Did you just compile a list of people to speak with, or was there networking involved…
The code doesn't matter. You have to want the end product. The reasons for wanting it are personal, but you have to want it.
I think what you're doing is very important. Thank you for tackling this problem.
Your reply makes sense. I just wanted to add that I think I see what the OP meant by "soft launch." I think the OP asked a good question, because most startup business guides say launch something minimal and iterate.…
No, actually. I am learning the ropes like you are.
Curious: Where are you buying templates?
What sort of business do you operate? There are a lot of qualified developers in this town. The price is the sticking point.
Well, I've been reading the competitor's press releases mainly and reviews of their product on the internet. Since I've never done this before, I just don't know how much of their frustrations I can count as a form of…
What if a competitor has already validated the market for me? For example, they exist and have existed for a few years, but still don't service my need. Is it valid to assume I can attack their market share?
What if you had used a freemium model and delivered your product as a free app with IAP or ads and such? Or was the market too small in such a case?
Some more information: When I put the system at 2x and played the game, I made it as far as level 8 without a glitch. Then, all of a sudden, it kept going into a mode where it kept asking me to resume again. I play the…
Nope. Fingers are always on the fingerprint icons. Just keeps flipping into the resume screen.
I enjoyed tinkering with this and thought it was cool. I've never used a mind mapper before. What sort of customers pay for something like this? Just curious.
There is no substitute for the real thing. Get an account, build the algo, do the best you can to minimize maximum damage, and run with it.
I think projecting overconfidence is a social/political survival strategy. The 50% accurate thing is just the hidden reality everyone acknowledges. It's sort of like how people are polite when confronted with ugly…
I've only recently started investigating Chicago as a place to startup anything, but I'm not looking in the sectors where you are looking. I don't have any frustrations to vent; I like the midwest. I like to believe the…
Is your data available to the public? I'd settle for some basic summary statistics.
Yeah, but, the usefulness is a function of the expressiveness. The reason I picked C++ templates in particular was because they allow you to make very effective use of information at compile time. Other languages, at…
How are your funemployed friends financing their lifestyles? Are they single or married?
I actually think the strongest point of C++ is the nature of how template metaprogramming is done. Is there any other language that competes with C++ as effectively with templates? I feel like all these "C++ is bad"…
Does it work?
I like these articles when they're about my city. I still really have no idea what the true tech scene is like where I live. I lived in Silicon Valley briefly and the cost of living and work-life balance were poor. I…
