I'll second my name-twin's sentiments and add: It's fantastic to see a dividend based model being introduced into early round VC fundraising. It's an alternative to liquidity and something that should/can move upst

I can see selling replacements. Like you don't want to see the Red Sox, maybe the yankees pay to replace all things red socks.

Good tidbit in the conclusion: "Hackathons are an amazing resource for kick-starting new ideas and proving out concepts. However, they should never be used to circumvent due diligence on big business decisions."

This acquisition reminds me a lot of Hunch. It's a similar size in terms of team + cost per team member. $2-3M/employee. And, Hunch's core tech seems to have gone into the eBay homepage, which is what Sarah is proposing Yahoo

It's interesting to me that Facebook is getting called out on this when Twitter does the exact same thing. I know a few folks with +1M Twitter followers that have stopped using the service because they were upset that Twitter was not delive

This is a great write-up. I love seeing your thought process on how you tackled the project. The bonus playback of realtime results and the not preloading county data are two very good examples of problems that need solving when you take o
