I'm a $5m+ Amazon seller here, so many wrong assumptions in the comments, hard to know where to begin... - Firstly, not every Amazon seller is a drop shipper, or private label products. In fact most of the successful ones I know all de

Are you always this cynical? There are plenty of good tech companies that have IPO'd recently: Snowflake, Unity, Corsair to name a few. I'm sure all three of those will do well in the coming years. Not everything is a bubble, thes

Is a fetus considered a human baby? This is one of those 2 sided debates that regularly occurs and the problem is that no amount of science will be able to give a definitive answer. It's a personal worldview and both sides have valid a

As a founder that has built a VC backed business to $XXXM in revenue and now as a founder that has built a bootstrapped business to $XM in revenue I guess I'm in a unique position to answer this. They both have their pros and cons as m

The title of that article is some serious sensationalism. I wonder if journalists during the race to the moon wrote articles like that back then, telling NASA that working so hard was unsustainable even if everyone believed in the mission.

Your profit should always cover your customer acquisition cost. If it does, congratulations keep spending and grow the customer base and start scaling. If it doesn't, refine your business model and keep iterating until it does. It shou

We applied I think in 2010, got rejected. This was when YC was still fairly young. so arguably competition was even less than it is today. Our company now does over $100M ARR and still growing. We learned a lot along the way, to be fair, I

My team and I were rejected back in the day for our first startup idea, which ultimately didn't work but we eventually pivoted to a company now doing $100M+ in annual revenues. I don't really blame YC for the rejection as the orig

I have the Jellyfish tank and it's pretty cool, however, all the Jellyfish died after about a month. They were too hard to find, get caught up in the rocks a lot, and feeding was a pain. However, we still have the tank and use it to hold tr
