agreed. It is pretty silly. When one has no experience, one should be willing to do a little more research first and talk to a few more experienced folks. There are many sales & marketing driven software companies. Sometimes it works,

Agreed that copycatting and lame ideas are to be discouraged, but the author makes one fatal error in my mind: consumers and venture capitalists have the benefit of "portfolio" thinking. Entrepreneurs have all their eggs in one basket, and

I admit to finding the name a bit off-putting. There is an amazing low-fidelity, highly iterative, and agile-friendly sketching tool and it is called a real pencil. On gasp paper. Not that I don't use digital tools too, but I am often s

I think it is a silly article with a link bait headline. The author has taken his very narrow use cases and extrapolated it to all users. If he can replace dropbox with evernote then he is using dropbox in a very different way from me, not

It depends on stage and context of product. In the earliest days, I think whoever owns "customer development" should also own the UX. It doesn't need to be beautiful, just good enough (that's where context of product comes in -- it defines

If you want to incorporate, I would get a startup-savvy lawyer in your area and just use their boilerplate restricted stock and IP agreements for you and your co-founders. If you aren't ready to incorporate, then just write the terms everyo

To break fre, the way i would recommend is to save up enough money that you have a reasonable runway to pick one startup idea and pursue/iterate it intensely. Set a goal for how much money that is and save as rigorously as you can. During t

Well I disagree that it is harder than finding a soul-mate, but I do agree it is tricky, and I do agree that you shouldn't partner up with someone you are not feeling great about. I actually wrote that you shouldn't wait to start your busi

Your critique is totally fair. I agree that every situation is unique -- tried to say that in conclusion -- but I did want to take a strong stand especially for newer entrepreneurs trying to figure out their path. I've seen these pieces s

The best way to learn is to do. Start by getting them out of the building, and help them understand that entrepreneurship means getting outside of your comfort zone and focusing on things people actually want. The lean startup machine weeke

I meant to actually put exactly that in my note - there is no reason why if one of you is particularly interested in and seems adept at the business side of things that you cannot cover it yourself. Just think through how it will change you

The money side depends on how much equity you want to share. I think it is worth bringing someone on board very early. You don't want to go from a cold, standing start at PM fit. You don't want a big company, big budget marketer but what Se

They don't call it the ivory tower for nothing. To academics, ideas are everything. For a startup, an idea is merely a jumping off point. This is why you so often see breakdowns in attempts to spin something out of a university. A professo

I believe that Eric's heart is in the right place and he truly wants to help more entrepreneurs. I don't disagree that born-again evangelism and "scammy consultants" is an unfortunate side effect of what is going on. While people will like
