15,805 | comment | danielha | 2007-04-22T20:56:23 | null | A lot of those can be attributed to shortsighted executives who are afraid to take risks or academics who are convinced by their own limited research. And in such cases, there is almost certainly support to be found elsewhere.<p>So if your idea is constantly getting shot down, don't build a "I'll show them!" attitude. The best move would be to ask why they think it's a bad idea, consider it, and move on. | null | null | 15,796 | 15,796 | null | [

15,807 | comment | Harj | 2007-04-22T21:04:24 | null | The problem with this is that I can't see the people involved. Who are the investors? What are their backgrounds? Why are they going to increase my chances of success?<p>Replicating the YC seed funding model is fair game. What I find irritating (and btw I'm very keen to see more European start ups funded so I'm not outright attacking you for the sake of it) is that people replicate the easy parts without putting the effort into the hard parts of YC.<p>Easy parts = Getting money and an application form<p>Hard parts = Getting high profile speakers every week to talk with founders, putting together an investor day with the most high profile investors in the world, providing real mentorship, creating a supportive community.

15,811 | comment | nostrademons | 2007-04-22T21:49:04 | null | "The best move would be to ask why they think it's a bad idea, consider it, and move on."<p>Even better - ask yourself "What would it take to find out, empirically, whether this is or is not a good idea?"<p>Many experts deal mostly with opinions, because it's to their advantage to do so. People listen to their opinions, people often pay money for their opinions, and the whole reason they're considered "experts" is they have (presumably) spent a lot of time in the past gathering facts to support their opinions. However, if you're dealing with something truly new, <i>nobody</i> will have enough facts to say whether or not it's a good idea.<p>As an entrepreneur, your job is to find those facts, because nobody else is going to do it for you (if they do, they're the one who gets the money ;-)). So ask yourself, "How can I narrow this problem enough to build a prototype? What data do I need from users to decide whether it's worth proceeding?"<p>The same applies to random advice you read on the Internet. This post is an opinion - I have no hard data in here to back things up, other than my own experience. However, it's a testable opinion: the next time you face a problem, go out and canvas the opinions of as many experts as you can find. Make a prediction, based on their opinions, of how you think the problem will be solved. Write it down. Then go about collecting data and actually solve the problem. Compare your prediction with the actual approach you needed to use. If they're basically the same, I'm full of bollocks and you can ignore me. If your initial assumptions changed significantly, hard data's the way to go. | null | null | 15,805 | 15,796 | null | null | null | null |
15,812 | comment | Sam_Odio | 2007-04-22T21:51:39 | null | I'm surprised you think that's sucking up. Was it that I was complimenting the YC business model? Please elaborate...<p>I'm not sure what motivation I would have to suck up, either. I'm not applying for funding, nor do I have any plans to.<p>However the point remains, without the YC's following (us), the company is just another angel investor / incubator. And that's already been done. These guys are trying to copy YC, but forgetting about its one biggest differentiating factor. | null | null | 15,810 | 15,628 | null | [

And it is all about perception. The current clones look lame even at a first glance. If another tech celebrity tries to do the same thing, it would be a different story. A track record of successful startups would help you, but if you are right about the major shift towards startups, there is no way on Earth to keep all that market for yourself. | null | null | 15,717 | 15,628 | null | null | null | null |

15,837 | comment | Sam_Odio | 2007-04-23T00:35:02 | null | I think you misunderstood my comment.

I run an online currency exchange website that takes about 3 hours of my time / day, and <i>does</i> provide a "nice living." I'm not trying to brag - trust me, it's still not fun.<p>The reason (for me, at least) that lifestyle businesses suck is because they're not focused on growth. They're more about an immediate, positive, cash flow - the low risk alternative.<p>Contrast that to startups, where you're building something that could potentially be very big, and positively impact a lot of lives.

Why spend time showing that you can duplicate a site using a certain platform when you could theoretically build an entirely new site in the same amount of time? Of course, the hard part is figuring out what you need to be coding, but I definitely subscribe to pg's philosophy of letting the code tell you. That is, just set out to do <i>something</i> on the platform of your choice and before long, you'll find yourself doing something interesting.<p>Then again, this is probably a generalization of the procrastinator in all of us, that part of us that spends hours every day doing pointless activities, later lamenting that we don't have enough time to do X.

15,863 | comment | pashle | 2007-04-23T02:39:17 | null | Arts Theme House:) Go Duke! Damn good points about hackers with more than just technical chops. Congrats on finding your cofounder, I'm guessing you've already got a live startup. If you want to link it, we'd love to check it out.

15,864 | comment | pashle | 2007-04-23T02:41:45 | null | I agree that you should be friends before becoming cofounders. Cool idea. How could one find the hackers first, in order to let them know that there is such a event? | null | null | 15,746 | 15,613 | null | [

15,890 | comment | Sam_Odio | 2007-04-23T03:47:01 | null | It looks like there are several different users who want to build this (or something similar).<p>I definitely think collaboration would work best - if the site is going to be used by the community it needs all of our support. It can't be a one man show.<p>Personally, I envision a site with several different tools: idea feedback, find cofounders, find shared office space, demo new apps, a how-to resource archive, wiki, etc. <p>I think one News.YC reader has already built a site that can be used to find cofounders. Jamie, Sumon and Timmmah built a site to demo apps (demomyapp.com). Justin is building a basic idea feedback site. John Leung is trying to organize a shared office/startup hub website. I'm building a resource archive.<p>What if we all collaborated on one site that did it all?

15,891 | comment | bootload | 2007-04-23T03:47:13 | null | thx for the heads up. Does the same thing happen leaving a space after the end of the url ie: ( <a href="http://www.cnn.com">http://www.cnn.com</a> ) ... no but there is a trailing '/'. <p>So if you do something like this ( <a href="http://www.cnn.com/">http://www.cnn.com/</a> ) does this cause a problem?

15,892 | comment | budu3 | 2007-04-23T03:49:18 | null | Oh my goodness. I'm truly alarmed by this article. The author needs to think more in terms innovation, and creating value (for him and his co-workers, his investors and his users) in places that people would not think to look.
I don't think it's about finding a hacker who can code in Ruby and then building a me too web2.0 app/website.
Web 2.0 and pastel coloured websites will come and go but good innovators will always be around whether they know how to program in the latest "geek" language or not. | null | null | 15,613 | 15,613 | null | [

15,895 | comment | waleedka | 2007-04-23T04:02:35 | null | The page contains a list of cities where there are co-working arrangements or groups willing to arrange something. Select your city and see what's there. Or, you can start something yourself and add your city (it's a wiki). They also have a Google group to communicate and a blog. I think they're doing a great job promoting the concept. | null | null | 15,849 | 15,818 | null | null | null | null |
