We're working pretty hard on England. It doesn't look like delivery times will suffer much... but price will be significantly different. :-)

The funnel has to start wide somewhere.

Compare this to Batch. Batch uses Facebook exclusively and doesn't communicate that people are "following" you when they sign up (or to use Facebook terms, they don't indicate that people have become your friend either, they simply say they

Not sure why you think we haven't. Lots of us have gotten friends and friends of friends to swab and shouted from the rooftops to try and get people to contribute to the pool. Many are also creating drives for people to register. There isn'

Not sure how big, but I would actually say it hasn't been fast. Magento has been in existence in some form for almost 10 years, starting as a product they used with consulting clients. This has been a loooong road for the Varien team.

While I agree there that sharing this information can be informative to entrepreneurs, really the onus is on us to do due diligence on the investors before taking money.

Seconded. I suggest getting on an even keel before making yourself obligated to others. Having a good routine that keeps the level of social interaction normal and healthy is a very very good thing to have before taking on investors' money.

I was horribly inefficient when just getting out of college (I'm 26, 4 years out). I largely owe my improvement of work-life balance/awareness to my better-half; I think I'd still be struggling with it if I were single. This is a generaliza

Thanks for commenting. I have found the same. At the outset as an entrepreneur there was a lot of calibrating and learning what was reasonable. We have a very sane and wonderfully paced life despite me founding and working on a startup for
