Is the vote before/after supposed to be a way to determine the winner?

There's a comparison chart halfway down the page.

Personally, I'm excited for the mobile launch.

Why not?

Here's the official blog post:

Where are you planning to go from there?

Personal preference: France, England, Russia, Austria, Germany, Turkey, Italy.

"I have come to bury Travis, not praise him."

Last time I checked, Benchmark has one board seat? A bit bizarre for them to assert themselves (note the plural) as a benevolent agent for employees. I know 'corporations are people too', but how are employees supposed to respond to this letter? They're not. This is a PR release. Good thing "this isn’t about Benchmark versus Travis."

The CFO inclusion screams IPO, which, consequently, is all this comes down to: money. Benchmark wants to cash out.

Entrepreneurs will still work with Benchmark. Yes, they'll push you out a la Twitter and Uber style, but, at the very least, you'll be a billionaire by the time they do.

In line with Female Founder Stories & the Employee #1 series, it'd be fascinating to hear (un)successful founders' perspectives on previous failures (potential program title: "Start Overs"?), what they would have done differently, if there's still a market for their idea, and what they learned from it for their future successes.

Ideal speakers:

Travis Kalanick -- Scour

Drew Houston -- Accolade

Justin Kan & Emmett Shear -- Kiko

Jack Dorsey -- Uber Imitator in the early 2000s

Sean Parker -- Napster

Parker Conrad -- SigFig

Ben Silbermann -- Audiobeta

Definitely shipped too late; no one would be embarrassed by this.

Yes, founded in 2006.

Everyone always complains about the cat gifs and listicles. No one ever praises the Zenefits exposé or leaking John McCain's running mate.

How do you reconcile this mantra of spontaneous order with the start-up necessity of iteration?

> "To that end, we’ve spent the last two months doing detailed interviews with CTOs and lead recruiters at the top 25 Y Combinator companies."

How were you determining which YC companies were top?

I could not agree more.

Jobs didn't run Pixar. He was a principal investor and Chairman of the Board, negotiating a few milestones like the sale to Disney, but most of his focus was on NeXT and then Apple. Ed Catmull and John Lasseter ran Pixar's day-to-day ops.

Creativity, Inc. by Catmull covers all this. It paints a better portrait of Jobs than Isaacson's Jobs biography. Plus, you get to read about the history of computer graphics and Toy Story.

This is terrific all-around advice.

The last tidbit I would add is that if you don't get in this round, apply again. And then again. And again (don't use the same application / idea/ company each time). A single application is not going to 'make' your company. Perseverance and applied intelligence will.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

FWIW, Einstein was also an avid musician. In Walter Isaacson's biography, "His Life and Universe", Einstein was caught in the middle of a meal when he began to ruminate on the Theory of Special Relativity. His wife described the next two weeks as a solitary exchange between meditation in his office and fiddling on the piano. He credited music to being a source of inspiration and creativity.
