YC's Demo Day attendee portal has had an online component at least since Winter 2018--the first I attended. The pitch videos were made available a few minutes delayed from real-time live.

A quick answer. I will expand later if I have time. (1) Finding VCs: Research online. Nowadays most VCs want to be known, and they have websites and blogs and Twitter accounts. Find the appropriate VCs and send them a short email with a lin

For visiting Yellowstone in the "off season", the main consideration is road closures. Most Yellowstone park roads are closed from November 4 through December 14. During that time, almost all park facilities are closed. The road f

Thanks, Jude! From a quick scan, it seems there are quite a few companies in direct competition--particularly in: 1) incoming sharing education, 2) bespoke computer processors, 3) medical billing, and 4) recruiting software.

I went to a YC angel investing workshop in March 2018. The lectures are all on YouTube. My takeaway was to try to independently consider deals, and not worry about herd mentality. Of course, there was a lot of material, ranging from YC pa

All good. Of course my descriptive headline was intended to emphasize the findings of the study. The journal article title simply offers that research has taken place -- and thus, is not nearly as useful. It would have been possible to link

For me, most dental floss shreds between one particularly irksome pair of teeth in my mouth. So Glide-style floss is the only type that works.

Well... not to guess about the unexpected... but as for what is likely... Following the pattern for caves in the Canadian Rockies, the lowest cave levels will be highly technical (wrt exploration techniques) with a cold and fast-moving rive
