I think I'd throw more money at those initiatives where they grow meat in labs. Factory farming is a horror, and cattle do tremendous amounts of damage to land all over the world. Veganism is part of a solution to end…
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…
Just wanted to throw more weight behind this comment. This book is excellent and is super easy to follow. It's one of those rare technical books that actually does an amazing job explaining things.
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…
No resistance, just trying to get some input on how to do this stage of the process properly. In particular, I've been reading a lot of feedback on competitors' products. I talk to people, but I need to talk to more.
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.
Mind posting the URL to your iOS game? I would like to try it out.
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…
I think you can browse Craigslist and find at least one ad like this every week in every major American city. I chalk up developer pricing to inexperience and not malice, but sometimes I am not so sure.
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…
