one of the great myths of content online is that no one will pay for it. but they will--it just took awhile to figure out crowdfunding etc

it's remarkable how much progress founders make on their pitch in the 48 hours before demo day. very proud of this YC batch.

i love it when a startup is doing so well they report annual run rate based on monthly, weekly, and daily revenue.

but still, happy to use "women founders" if that's what most people prefer. or, most of the time, just "founders".

in my recent blog post, i used "female founders" because it's grammatically correct. i'd never say "females" to refer to "women".

basic income (with a phaseout) seems better than welfare given welfare's incentive not to work. what are the best reasons against it?

most of the time, arrogance and success at fundraising are inversely correlated. founders often learn this too late.
