Product Hunt is addictive and fun, but also useful. I've found a few cool things that I've used right away, and more that I've bookmarked for later.

GoInstant isn't related to Go (the programming language), just has "Go" in the name of the company. It's a realtime, collaborative stack.

The recruiting space! Mostly because I spent 3 years banging my head against a wall in that space. Generally, I get nervous in the consumer space, but I've made several consumer investments. There are a couple spaces I'd like to d

Very strange...I'm investigating with the hosting company to see what's going on.

Thanks. Appreciate that. Might as well be honest (about the good and the bad)!

Not all of the companies are successful or have been successful. They were successful at a specific point in time, doing a specific thing (like getting through problem interviews, for example) but it doesn't mean they were big hits as compa

Walking on the street is a risk. Driving a car is a risk. I get it -- everything is a risk. Even more reason to start a company and give it a shot. You may get struck by lightning tomorrow. I'm not such a "ra ra" kind of guy to say, "everyo

I wish I had "youthful naivete" ... although plenty of people have said I "act quite young." Does that count? :) Sunk time is an issue. And I have also railed against what I describe as "zombie startups" that outlast their welcome or useful

A business plan should not be a requirement for an accelerator, certainly not a traditional one. A Lean Canvas on the other hand would make perfect sense.

Yes, the questions are targeted to a specific type of startup, although not necessarily one with huge funding. But the questions don't change drastically in other types of startup either. Maybe some of the financials do, but questions about

The intention isn't to get detailed financials necessarily. "Profitable" is a pretty good indicator of some level of success. The issue is more with pre-revenue or pre-profit startups that are "burning cash" and have X amount of time to liv
