I've been following Maneesh for years. I met him while he was travelling around in the Himalayas. Crazy guy - making piles of money while spending most of his time DJing and travelling.

Shit! There are so many sites out there using this API. And many are totally dependent on it - location is the cornerstone of their model. Zaarly, Foodspotting, AirBnb, GetAround - every location-based P2P platform. I guess this was inevita

Really? Smart move on their part. There's so many talented engineers in the developing world that are 'hungry for it' - Just what startup founders are looking for in a partner.

I second that. Please share your secret. 28k people lined up for your product, and they have no idea what it is. Spill the beans bro.

The deals space has long passed its climax. If you're going to be starting yet ANOTHER daily deals site, there needs to be some other unique angle used. Creating another mini-Groupon clone isn't going to cut it anymore.

Agreed. File sharing is the type of thing where you can't just rely on first-mover-advantage. Google has the ability and infrastructure to offer more space for free on more devices and platforms.

I agree. The term 'large economy,' when applied to the average person is an irrelevant term. For the average billionaire it means something, but to the average person (in our case, the average internet/mobile user) it means nothing. These o

In one generation the whole model of higher education will have to break down - this is absurd. I think we'll go back to more of a localized apprenticeship model, facilitated by technology.

I highly agree that the conventional 'job' is becoming obsolete. Technology is enabling us to live in a bottom-up world where we can add value individually. We don't have to to work for a company to add value. Imagine all the commerce that

Bottom line: too many sites try to have too many features - they should focus on having one prime functionality. It's like writing a paper - it has to have a thesis that is clear. I would disagree that minimalism is dying. In fact, minimali

That's pretty much it. Either you code or you don't.

Another point I'd like to raise - If you're not introducing any new technology (just a new platform), then creating a new website or app is like starting a 'people movement.' You are actually aiming to change the culture and the way people

I really believe its a personality type. Either you have it or you don't. Most CEO's are first-born, extroverted, visionaries.

It will fail like Facebook offers because people are being absolutely inundated with these ridiculous deal sites. Someone come up with something original.

Hey, it works for everything else...e.g. Kim Kardashian. Why not Startups?
