We has worked with Tim during the YC batch. He told us to find a key KPI to focus on so we know if we are on the right track. Till today, I'm still applying this to everyday operation. I am looking forward to see him working on some new cool stuff again!

While I appreciate the sentiment, I think this whole notion of an AntiScience threat due to the new administration is a bit sensationalized.
angelohuang··on First China-U.K. Freight Train Departs as Xi Seeks to Lift Trade
The new silk road is a decent project, but of course it's not purely for China to dump it's products abroad. Besides, I believe it's a matter of time before anti-China sentiment in Europe will be like the American-version propagated by Trump.

LeadIQ is building a sales prospecting automation platform to increase sales productivity.

Here's what customers say about us https://leadiq.io/customers

We’ve built a great product using some unique skills, but as a team we believe:

- DRY(don't repeat yourself) with hard work

- Always help the code reviewer

- Avoid knowledge silo

angelohuang··on I Am Sam Altman, President of Y Combinator. AMA
Jason is our first investor in LeadIQ. We are very glad to have his help on our product and fund raising. I don't know enough about other incubators but my partner, Mei and me are very excited to be one of Jason's portfolio companies. Jason is a strong product person. He understands products and markets really well, and his feedback is always on point and help us to improve. I strongly suggest every founder to apply to his incubator if you have a very solid product.
angelohuang··on Ask HN: Does reseller model work for a SaaS pre-revenue startup?
Hi patio,

So you think they are all genuinely bad for startup, correct? The connection we have is a person who has 300+ connections to marketing agencies. He thinks our product can help those reseller's clients. But in reality, those end users will be 3 layers away from us. Again, we have no power right now. What would you recommend? (p.s. I was about to email you, then saw your reply.)
