We were accepted but decided it wasn't the best fit for us. I know most of the companies in their current batch and they're doing some cool stuff. It's great to see accelerators with a cryptocurrency/blockchain focus lik

What's the purpose of articles like this? Sure, you can make a reasoned, persuasive argument that Tesla is overvalued and/or unlikely to succeed spectacularly but this article isn't that. It's simply a spew of vitriol an

I'm there right now (minus the high-profile accelerator and funded part so I had even less success). It sucks. I'm exhausted. But I'm broke so I need a job. I can hack stuff together but I'm more of a junior level dev so

“Our co-founders travel a lot between TED talks and angel pitches. You understand.” I do occasionally wonder how some founders have the time & money to travel to every conference/meetup/event on the circuit. I suppose some of

It's doable but, as you would expect, it requires an extremely spartan lifestyle. I'm running about $500/month in SF and am no stranger couch surfing, lots of roommates, sleeping in my car, and (intelligently) fasting, etc. I could theoreti

You're right about Stripe, however it's just the suggested payment method. If they don't use it, I don't get paid but I'm not going to try to keep people walled in, especially in light of Stripe's limited availability ex. North America. I'm

Thanks for catching those bugs, I'll fix them up. Classrooms are created when a bid is accepted so there's no way to navigate to one of the actual classrooms beforehand. I should probably incorporate a screenshot or preview of the classroom

Thanks. I'll add some copy to the front page to clear up some of your questions. Payments are all done through Stripe Connect. Right now Teachity isn't taking a cut, but if the site ends up getting enough users then I'll start experimenting
