This interaction has stayed with me because it seems to me to be a great example of the discrepancy between the reality distortion field that is Silicon Valley — and the reality almost everywhere else. Even the immigration officer at the San Francisco airport was of the opinion that five years is too long for a company to consider itself startup.

The sheer number of new startups forming and getting funded these days is dizzying. It’s never been easier to start a company to harness new technologies and turn them into products. Traditional venture capital may not even be able to keep up with it. We are at the beginnings of what may very well become a Cambrian Explosion of startups, which will have implications well beyond the technology ind
What this relationship has in scale, it lacks in dimension. A user, to an engineer, is a dumb, erratic source of input. The engineer is more like a babysitter than anything else - you, the engineer, are responsible for the well-being and delight of all your users, and they, those innocent users, owe you nothing.

Through the years I missed investing in Google. I missed investing in Foursquare. I missed, I lost, I suffered, I cried. I could’ve started other businesses instead of the ones I did.

It’s hard not to spend most of the day angry or scared or anxious.
I just returned from Dave McClure’s excellent Warm Gun Conference, and I haven’t been this excited to be a designer in a while.

While the micro-blogging startup declined to comment, BH-Tec declared that no contacts had been made – which means it’s only a rumor at this stage. Yet, it shows that many in Belo Horizonte are prepared to bet on...

Every now and then I get a really lovely email from an aspiring letterer that is about to publish a passion project of his or her own. They tell me my work was an inspiration and that they can’t wait to share their creation with the world. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside for a moment…until I click on their link and realize that much of what they intend to publish is nearly a direct tracing of my

You're acting as if the current bubblicious fundraising environment will continue indefinitely. You're acting as if all of your unproven hypotheses will turn out correct. You're acting as if your seed round valuation increased your likelihood of success. You're acting as if your investor excitement at the seed round automatically transfers to a bridge round.
