I wonder what the process of losing a child was like for mothers in the 18th century. Somehow I have trouble believing there was that little sorrow

Yes, but there are fewer merchants than over. 50% of e-commerce goes through 12 merchants. Consolidation is insane in digital commerce. So yes, we can buy many more products but through fewer and fewer merchants giving them huge power. Amao

Quick comment from the author: One problem with this method is that it only includes companies that have raised money. Those that were able to bootstrap and become profitable without fundraising (and are perhaps even more awesome than any c

Hi, Thanks for pointing this out. I should probably include something in here that clearly states: Getting into YC won't make you successful or vice versa. No, it doesn't matter that much whether you get in, but people still care

Hey, this is Elli from HireArt. I'm the author of the piece. Agreed that rejection actually helps you get closer to your team and figure out what you're really building

Hey Steli, quick question: You suggest we should ask for the referral right when the customer makes the purchase. In the case of a SaaS solution (like ours) they haven't experienced the product at all right when they make the purchase.

Thanks so much for making this public. You're putting yourself out there for our benefit and so that we can all learn (and not feel quite as shitty when we get similar emails). Thanks.

Great article! I especially like the comment below which is very true in our experience (W '13): YC: What’s been the most surprising thing about YC? "How much everyone really cared about us. You have a lot of mentors and friends a

I think this really applies to all online courses. It's great to take a marketing course, but to really become a marketer you're going to have to learn how to learn on your own. Would be great for courses like Udacity to explici

So interesting to see start ups that help w this kind of remote collaboration. An interesting example of globalization. Now a band can be in Toronto, DC and Hong Kong at once. I wonder if the music will be more diverse and interesting

That's true ZhangBanger. But don't you think you get at least some basics from an MS in terms of logic, how to architect an idea, etc? For instance, as a non-tech person learning the basics was so incredibly difficult. Just unders

I wonder whether this is actually possible for someone who didn't have a computer science background at all. I have spoken to Andy and I know he did coding when he was young (Note, this is Elli from HireArt). I guess I wonder if it&#x2

I love the part where he talks about how he thinks everything should be doable through the internet. Need food? internet. Need dates? internet. Need entertainment? internet. Totally true that most job boards don't work.

Hi, Elli from HireArt here. She didnt get the job because she lived in Michigan and couldn't move to SF but she made it as a finalist. I was directly involved and was astonished at how well she did given her lack of "formal" education. I wi
