Thanks gaius for your words,

Yeah, the 'could probably' responses are the ones I watch out for...

RE: the post, .NET PEOPLE, and resources to find those people.

BizSpark is a great program (we're a part of it) but still young. I don't think BizSpark alone is incentive for a young adult developer to start learning .net (therefore depleting the # of .net people in the future).

thoughts?

A good way to start is by looking at your school. Have you found any luck there?

There's some progress, although research, and implementation/execution are two very different concepts.

Agreed, and just like schools a good idea is to apply to as many as you can. If you don't get into the program that you want, you can still have an amazing experience connecting with others and building your company at another incubator.

Starting out with a passion for music pushed him to keep going. Must assume that his employees saw/had this passion too.

Suster mentions that success is measured in years. How do you measure success consistently in such a rapidly evolving industry?

Any regrets on those 'missed companies' that are making it after being denied financing?

Question for the thread -

  What are your thoughts on already having a product that people will pay for (and charging appropriately, direct selling to b2b markets) verses giving it away for free and monetize later?

Would this tactic impair because it confuses the value proposition, or benefit by spreading the business virally.

Great post. I like to make the comparison and take the idea of artistry beyond music, visual and performing arts, or anything else you'd encounter at your local cultural center.

The better idea is to take Artistry as a concept applicable to all disciplines. You can be an artist in any profession as long as you're humble, and work your ass off to get to the next level.

Once you get comfortable, you slow down. Get busy Livin' or get busy dying.

Look at Google's evolution since 2000, how Apple has taken over music distribution...It's mind blowing how innovation and creativity keep pushing us into the Jetsons era.

Like in jazz, innovation comes from paying respect to the masters, but still developing your own voice.

Very hip visualization, reminiscent of integer notation (c=0, c#=1, d=2, etc) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_notation

Music educators are slowly finding ways to catch up traditional pedagogy with the ever-expanding technologies.

some color coating would even help younger players.

fantastic work
