Done with the app with 2 minutes to spare. Vid is not optional; had one in the vault :) This was great, btw. No over-thinking, just busting out the responses as they came to me. Maybe simple is better sometimes.

My experience with other startup folks I know is that the accelerator is not designed to be a launchpad for the company's own PR purposes. Show some restraint, built your product, gain some organic and home-grown traction and then at, or ne

Those accepted for interviews are unlikely to announce it.

I really look back on the experience as a stepping stone. We really got our sh*t together after the interview. In fact we left the interview, went to a nearby University commons and reworked our product on the spot. We learned so much in th

For now I am going to keep the name anon. We surely did not have our ducks in a row as we were very young in our partnership and product dev (1.5 months). Now several months later, we feel we are on the right track and should be well prepar

Thx. I did shoot you an email.

Ask HN: Does it mean anything to have been a finalist for an accelerator?

Good point. My intention is not to solicit their contacts but to have a dialogue about the best way to secure a developer. I'll take your feedback and that of other HN'ers and rethink how I am approaching people with my inquiry. Thanks ever

I am asking for direction on finding a front end developer to add to my team. I offer equity but cannot offer compensation at this time. Do you think I should approach this differently and present it as a job opening or contract to hire typ

Theoretically speaking, one could use Dropbox to publish to, well, anything? I'm interested in the possibilities. Nice article.

It sounds like you know the answer to your own question. What you really want, I believe, is someone to comfort you into thinking that the decision you already made, which is to go to work for them, is a good call. Obviously I may be comple

I am the biz-guy in my startup and have been learning Python during my lunch breaks. I work on building a consulting business in the evenings so I can leave my day job and work on my startup. This would free up time for learning to code. I

Appreciate the response. Right now looking to outsource development. If prototype gains interest then need to partner-up or hire on. Really just need a bare bones proto using geo-loc technology. Thanks again.

Ask HN - How do I find a reputable hacker to help design prototype?

The integration of web/mobile/life is rapidly accelerating and there are many new apps to be constructed and countless other extensible options to explore. My reasons are a combination of the first three options listed in the poll. My goal
