I love your quotes! I am myself a founder just getting to market and these serendipitous encounters and random acts seem to pop up out of nowhere and solidify my progress. Cheers and thanks!
Dreeves~ Loved the post myself! Thank you for sharing. I at times wonder about my startup name, but your criteria laid out does help rationalize a decision.
Still am curious about names with numbers...37signals, or 86..
Ok But I think you are missing the point. They reached out to a firm "Matrix Partners" to help them execute by financial means and that firms individuals chose to spin off an exact duplicate of their startup?! Sham! ~That firm should be frowned upon and ridiculed and avoided by all entrepreneurs.
Some companies go public on the stock market and don't even raise 200m of cash. To raise 200m in VC capital alone is an enormous task. As for PR, people love public figures and leaders. They want to associate with the individual strife to the top! It makes for an incredible story about your product/service and this is what you want to do. You want to strike an emotion with your users!
My question is this...why doesn't a service like Heroku which acts as a Paas...have this built in? I'm on their blog now trying to understand their complete setup..
Exactly. And what is the end goal of space exploration? Colonize another planet? Do you know how impossible that seems -air, food, facilities?? Billions spent for what exactly...mining operations?
