  12. Ask HN: If we are in a VC bubble, how would the bust play out?

    In 2007, many people knew housing prices were out of control. But they didn't fully realize how exposed the financial system was and that banks would fail on a massive scale. Today, there is a debate about a…

  13. Who are the best “quiet” angels and VCs?

    Seems like, nowadays, part of angel investing (and entrepreneurship, too, I guess) is aggressive and obsessive tweeting, blogging, newslettering and general self promotion. As an introvert, I resent the idea that it's…

  22. Ask HN: How difficult is fundraising as a solo founder?

    My product* has a huge inherent cold-start hurdle and it's not going anywhere without a funded launch. Unfortunately, the "team" is just me. Accelerators won't take solo founders, I've been unable to find a viable…

  23. Ask HN: Why is the 40-comment penalty being applied to Show HNs?

    First, I'm extremely appreciative of Hacker News, its moderators, and the forum it provides for poor builders like myself to get some eyeballs on our infant products at no cost via Show HN. However, it seems the…
