How to Convince Investors

As a side note, I think the website "paulgraham.com" demonstrates an anti-pattern: It is available with and without "www." prefix, thus splitting the HN comments into two parts:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6175417 (paulgraham.com)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6178042 (www.paulgraham.com, i.e. this one)

The solution is simple: Establish an HTTP redirect from "www.paulgraham.com" to "paulgraham.com" or vice versa.

The initial meeting or the first few minutes when talking to investors is crucial. It can make your break your plan. So use it wisely and correctly.
