great post. I'm going to try to become customers of every single one.

Not right now, but something we are thinking about.

could be domains that are being linked. some domains get auto-killed.

I'm all about Franz Ferdinand

Bottled water is so expensive. Really adds up quickly. Never order it at restaurants. Tap water please.

the dollar amount?

big tech co?

:(

I know- sort of ruins it but teespring is the only company that works like this (ie you don't have to buy a set amount and sizes before).

We have disputes though.

No it's not illegal to charge before shipping, why would you ship something out that costs $$$ when you run the risk that the card will not be good?

It's more like mastercard, visa, amex, discover line of credit. Not prepaid- a line you can pull from to use.

nooice!

we'll be out of USA in the near future. Sorry!

+1000 thanks for the comment man.

I thought it might engage them first :) - we shall see.

this is one of the best posts I have read. Not sure why it didn't take off here.

interesting. thanks Oculus.

They don't need to tell you the full story. But saying- we are trying to solve how people discover new products that their friends buy. We should have a product out in the next few months. That's a lot better than saying we are stealth. You didn't give away anything.

Ya feel me?

It's totally okay to keep quiet about what you are working on- but you typically have a vision or idea of what problem you are trying to tackle. You can just talk about that when people ask you...

true. at dwolla we've taken from USV, AH and other great VC's. They have helped tremendously. It's just not the end all and be all. Product is above all and VC's can help shape it but just a PSA that people shouldn't obsess.

The post is more about the obsession with getting top tier VC names in your round rather than finding a specific investor from a less popular VC or investing fund that gets your biz better. Investors can be great and helpful- but in the end of the day don't obsess with getting a specific name on your cap table- obsess with building a great company.

sorry man. I hear you. the point isn't to bash working hard- it pushes a bit that you should work hard + smart. it's more of a rant about pushing that out to the twitterz/4sq. I mean how many successful people actually push out how hard they are working and how much shit they are getting done? I can't count any.

can't agree on the #hustle comment though. That stuff makes me cringe the f out.

One more thing about the post I wrote.

Jason Kincaid, formerly of TC, had a great tweet about four years ago- "The amount of fun you’re having at a party is inversely proportional to the number of times you’ve tweeted about it.”

Some joke and call it Kincaid's Law.

I think there is a new wrinkle to it:

"The amount of hard/smart work you are doing is inversely proportional to the number of times you’ve tweeted about it.”

Nah. Hard work + smart work is great. Just don't tweet about it. Don't glorify it.

tumblr default... sorry
