You have to be strict. If you let one non-sex photo in next thing you know it's filled with non-sex photos.

Guilty as charged. We saw and liked fiverr, but we didn't want to do just a clone site of it since we felt they had the market pretty cornered. We'd just be a "me too" player. Looking around we realized there wasn't a good system similiar t

As a startup in the adult space I know there are lots of opportunities in adult...especially since the industry is going through a huge transition. As much as people love to say how porn brings innovation, that's not the case anymore. In th

I think it's awesome what you've done so far and am thoroughly impressed with your patience and tactics so far to get as far as you have. It's about time someone called out the government on their shenanigans because too many people site ba

I love the comparison between personal branding and corporate branding. I've been told that to "succeed" in life you have to work on branding yourself. But I think you point out the flaw in branding oneself is that you end up boxing yoursel

I can see how it can be misleading looking at small market YC companies. Though I'm still wondering what's considered "small" by YC's standards. Someone mentioned Octopart and Wakemate as smaller market companies, but as a consumer/retail

so if we don't have phenomenal growth (ie "$100k in revenue in your first month or 10k users in 24 hours") we still have a chance? Does anyone know examples of YC companies who are in small markets? I was under the impression they only like

I like how he states that he was a YC funded company...since they got an interview with YC and took the travel money $400 to invest in building up the company.

I think this bake sale is a brilliant idea, but unfortunately many have missed the point. The bake sale illustrates how SB185 (CA bill that wants to consider race in its admissions) if passed might be consider racist. The good thing is this

Wasn't there a FB engineer yesterday who said that this "problem" would take a long time to fix? Apparently it didn't take that long.

congrats on getting it "launched". It's great you are giving exposure to the startups that Techcrunch started off giving, bu then stopped.

We've been interviewing people in the adult industry to see what their world is all about. It's pretty fascinating... let us know what you think.

FYI: We have a startup in the adult space, but have no background in the adult industry. The lean startup gurus preach the importance of understanding your customers and customer development. The adult industry is one of those places where

I think the most disturbing part is how they tried to get her to take her blog or limit access to her blog post. The reason? Because it would hurt their funding round. So instead of a $5 billion valuation they now get $4.5 billion. Please.

When I saw the headlines I was thinking the same thing. Should I eat lobster tonight or filet mignon? Louis Vuitton or Gucci... the choices are driving me crazy!

Why does legislation have to be some confusing. So I get that certain parts of the law have been signed, but what about the affiliate tax? Is that now the law. The article says "Brown announced signing eight separate pieces of that package

I wish they went into why they fired Peter. It seemed like a passing thought in the article. What was he doing wrong? Seems like Bill was equally at fault...

I've heard a few different pitches for this idea...booking meals in other people's homes...the one thing I rarely hear being brought up though is the legality of this. Aren't there pretty strict laws about cooking prepared food for others?
