Congrats Peter! I've been using segment.io with many projects and clients since 2012, and I'm superhappy. Peter also helped me alot. My only concerns are:

1. That they will continue to raise prices like many other in the SaaS-space, without grandfathering excisting user/customers.

2. That they will keep limiting certain integrations to their premium plans. This prevents me from integrating with them for new "pet"-projects. I make a lot of MVP-type product for clients, that we test the demand for. For such products, I usually integrate with a lot of tools straight away (GA, Mixpanel, Facebook Ads, Adwords, Optimizely). Even though such MVP-project only will get a few hundre visitors, it still requires Segment.io's "Startup"-plan, which is 79usd/month. I think it makes a lot more sense to allow most integrations for the free plan, and rather segment your customer based on API calls. Many of the integrations that require the Startup-plans are really useful for MVP project (Facebook Ads, Adwords, Kissmetrics, Mailchimp etc.). So please segment your customers based on API-calls, not integrations (maybe except for super expensive enterprise software). I know I could just have one "Startup"-account, and add all the MVP projects to that account, but some of my clients want to have their own segment.io account.

Give me a HN trend chart for the words "pivot" and "mvp" please:)

I'm curious about your food-chain idea. Can you explain it a little more and give more examples?

nice idea, but seriously get a designer. that landing page scared me away. sorry for being honest.

One of the most honest blog post I've ever read.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote Wordpress Developer andreas@ahennie.no We are looking for a remote, freelance developer with Wordpress (WP) experience. We're a small digital agency in Oslo with many WP equires from clients. We are 3 guys working together with design, digital marketing and Ruby on Rails project. We each have our own different side projects.

Really polished work Anders. Got some superslick projects on that portfolio ;) What can you tell us about the tech behind the page? All hand coded?

A fascinating thing about Highcharts is that they are located in a supertiny, remote town in Norway called Vik. Only 2900 live there. Highcharts employ 10 people + a few remote workers.

Why isn't there a soap opera about nutritional research?

doesn't lool like mobi is ready yet.

If I were Google, I would've continued shopping, and acquired @matmik and Timelyapp.com as well:)

Impressive. Link to the theme? curious.

Mobi or epub version anyone?

pros and cons vs wpengine.com?

I agree. With 95/5 you're more like a first employee. My guess is that more popular splits are 50/50, 40/60, 70/30, 80/20. In that order.

$10M for 10%-20% = valuation of $50-$100M.

Google "Startup Lawyer If I launched a startup 2014", which sums up most legal questions including equity splits. Founders Dilemma by Wasserman covers the topic from a scientific research point of view.

tl;dr as far as I remember from that book: Make sure it is fair, and enough equity for both to be motivated. You have to discuss with each other to find out. It can be everything between 95/5 to 50/50. If you value the friendship more than you value the company, you should go for 50/50. Otherwise 50/50 is not a good option according to Wasserman's research.

Would love it. Anyone else from Norway coming? pm me.

I would like more use cases to see the full value. For a Ruby-dev, why should I use this paid service instead of Google Drive ruby-gem? https://github.com/gimite/google-drive-ruby or the nice excel gem https://github.com/cxn03651/writeexcel ?

Norway is not a good country for entrepreneurship, but a very good country if you need help. Don't know why we are so far behind Denmark and Sweden in tech startups though.

they will roll it out in the upcoming weeks.

what do you think is the reason for this?

My goals is not to become a billionaire, but to build something great, and have fun while doing it. I believe the chances for that are bigger in Silicon Valley than Norway. If I fail, I'll move back and enjoy the wealth and rain.

What Clayton says about the focus on "learning about your customer" seems very similar to Eric Ries term "Innovation Accounting" in "The Lean Startup".

Have we been steering our companies using the wrong metrics for the last century?

I've lived most of my 24 years in Norway, but the lack of a proper startup eco-system (successful entrepreneurs, VCs and companies etc.) motivates me to move to Silicon Valley in a few years. Am I stupid, or just adventurous? :p
