if you don't mind sharing, why did you file the complaint?

Following! Would love to know what you learn and if you are willing to share somewhere.

Hi I've done two of these and generally think they are worth it if the time commitment is manageable: Pros: Community (always good to connect with other founders), some value in "brand" of parent company (if it's Google)

check with a lawyer, but I suspect the answer is no. Visa rules tend to be very restrictive in the US and as noted on this thread, those restrictions usually say you can only work for your sponsoring employer and no third party. I don'

Ah OK, if you don't want to transfer your work before you see outcomes, I think it makes sense to hold off on starting a new company with them, especially since they are a consulting company (which is a totally different business). I w

This is so true!

(Not legal advice). What does your business do? What stage are you in (e.g. pre-revenue)? And what data are you collecting from your customers? If you are very early-stage and not collecting sensitive data, one place to start is looking at

This situation is a bit confusing. From your summary, it sounds like you have an idea and product you are building and you need some help with sales. It sounds like you only have a prototype at this stage. It feels very early to me to join

I don't like it for bulk sends. As a lawyer, if I need to get a lot of shareholder docs signed, DocuSign is def better than nothing, but not a great user experience. Also, always interested in alternatives even if it's just intell

What is a good alternative? Would like something that works well with scale and bulk sends (e.g. where the doc is the same but name is different for each recipient)

Is this true? I don’t think their product offering varies by jurisdiction. At least not in my experience as an attorney.

if a community is well-run and offering specific benefits, I'm open to paying. I used to subscribe to Everything Marketplaces because it was really well-run, had great speaker chats and I got great advice from other marketplace founder

I was thinking of applying, but didn't realize you had to pay to get in. Has anyone participated and enjoyed the program?

Opening up my community, paying attention to conversations and writing down things that interest me.

I've heard of this happening. A friend of mine recently hired a candidate, but the candidate that actually "showed up" (it was a remote company) was completely different. It took his company 3 months to realize they had been

super interesting - thank you!

I think the answer to your questions is no, but why does it matter? It sounds like you are on the path to creating a great product that people want. I'm sure YC would be a helpful boost, but ultimately creating an awesome product for p

yeah, i generally agree with this advice. Although testing pricing is its own challenge, so can be hard to validate demand + pricing in the same launch.
22.
by jd_illa 4y ago
definitely makes sense. even if you intend to become a paid product, it's hard to figure out the right pricing in the early days.

what are your takeaways from stable diffusion vs. Open I?

I think it would be helpful to add an "about" -- I was a little confused by the product. If a type in "remote jobs", does that mean the job boards produced specialize in remote jobs or have remote jobs posted (or both)?

as an attorney, I can attest to the fact that 83(b) elections are one of the most unexpected but important issues that come up in legal due diligence for financings and future M&A! It can be a huge pain for founders and companies when t

thanks!! Yeah I'm aware of them, they're so expensive tho! Probably worth the price.

this is super helpful! are you an attorney? I'd love to connect if so!

i actually don't mind playing the therapist role! so many people come to lawyers when they are overwhelmed or in a bad spot. If you can help them out, whether that's by actually solving the problem or by being a smart/aligned

Thanks for this! What tools does she use, other than her network and Lexis-Nexis? I'd love to be able to access those. In terms of hubris/specialty, that's a great point. Law can be really specialized but unless you're i
