how do you asses the potential size of a market when it comes to early startups? instinct?
Even though we are not raising, the idea of raising money from someone who is actively part of the HN community is quite appealing. I think that speaks a lot about the character of the investor. Just like investors look at team, I think startups also look at the 'people' side of thier investors.
EDIT: I just saw a similar question cross-posted on your AMA post, so no need to answer here. My bad for not noticing that post first. Great stuff there!
EDIT2: Would love to know why the downvote after my first edit?
