Cofounder can also do more harm than good. Looking for a cofounder without knowing what you really need is ill-advised. Most of the stories I heard was about cofounder who knew each other before starting up.
This is great news and it's a sign that this company looks into the future. Working remotely isn't just about the place where you work. It's a sign of trust that leads to higher productivity and engagement. Kudos
I believe there was a similar product that did pretty much the same thing 3-4 years ago. Would anyone recall? What happened to them? I don't know if I would like controlling my personal stuff in a public environment.
I wish they will succeed. However, those knowledge database are always going to be hard as knowledge is a moving and asynchron entity. What I mean is that something that is true today may not always be true. Also, if a group learns something through jelly, that knowledge isn't propagated to all the the people using jelly which can lead to a lot of duplicates. I hope the moderating will be good. On the other hand, an iphone app can provide a lot of information and context about the question which might help Jelly show questions related to the place/time. Quite a hard problem indeed.
You have a point. Nonetheless, this kind of information should be thought as the same thing as books in library, and governments do have the budget for libraries. It could very well be a matter of time and perspective.
I wonder governments shouldn't have the duty to regroup all those website and host them somewhere? Something like archives.org for governemental websites.
