I am kind of sad that Ron Conway is no longer a part of Y Combinator funding team. I really thought of the original Y Combinator team as a dream team! PG - will cutting the initial funding to 80K give Y combinator a better chance to scale?

My question is - if they are buying a product from amazon - why don't they check product reviews posted right on amazon? Why do they need a different site? I do agree that opinions from friends and family counts a lot but the concept has

Interesting, though I would like to caution you regarding your assumption that it may go viral. In the world of business - assumptions are very dangerous. Let me give you an example of what goes viral. I recently came across an app for ca

Finding a business partner (co founder) is just like finding a life partner. You have to start out with a business date and see if you can take the relationship to the next level. Running a business is all about conviction and hard work. Yo

Hmmm...Interesting post. Typically - I would say something that is illegal is illegal but in your case you were a minor so couldn’t really hold it against you. In my opinion - you have two options: Option 1: Apply to a company on interna
