Great work. How can people act on the info on specific cities ? There should be a way to balance wrong/right/... for variables that are subjective (weather, friendliness to foreigners, ....)

Love MS lately :)

Love the UI and the auto-quotes on empty posts :)

Love it. The only thing missing for me (and i've been using it for a while, happy to see it here!) is a preview of the next day events.

(i know there's normally no politics here, but i think it's worth sharing)

drag and drop the sound "cards" on the characters and chill out

Ok, maybe far-fetched you're right. But a class of its own with the old-fashioned movie at the beginning, the simple charts and slides, liked it :)

A great demonstration of a market disruption by pricing. Xavier Niel's show was a mix of Jobs (staging, rhythm, ...) and Bezos (pricing, competition, ...). Wow !

He he, well said. The thing is i like that band, it never disappointed me, and as WA says below, it fits my needs...

You're right, and it's just an abuse of language ...

I've always found it difficult as a french guy who's been taught british english to live in new york.

At my first day at work, i asked a coworker if he wanted to go for a quick "fag" downstairs. He never spoke to me again.

thus the title: beating a dead horse :)

the talk was for last year + mba students at HEC, and most of them never started / worked at a startup.

i thought they were self explanatory, but you're right - thx !

There are a few services online where you can download after effect source files, and then edit. we used videohive, but don't tell anyone :)

Of course, you're right. And I think we agree.

The other thing is that in tech startups, being the "crunch the number and shit slides" guy can be quite frustrating. Knowing how to put up a prototype yourself is pretty satisfying!

... and sorry to make your cringe :)

Andrea, I agree. But depending on where you are, "finding a good dev" can take months, more if you're looking for a partner. And it's easier to attract talent with a working prototype than with ideas around a beer...

Hi, that was my case actually. My first two statups (if you can call this so) were done while having a well paid job in New York. For my last startup, I quit my job and went welfare :)

Comon', you know what i mean :) I'm not saying i have an "engineer-level", but i'm good enough to throw an MVP together. Try out http://fastfwdme.com, it works fine for a small project I developed. Of course there are years of training to be a good hacker, but my point is that you can achieve a sufficient level to test ideas out yourself.

been lucky, didn't hear it much!

my girlfriend has been very supportive. the only thing she asked, is that we still continue to travel/backpack, at least once a year - which I of course "granted" her (while she's granting me with the rent .... :)

Totally on board. I quit a well paid job in New York two years ago, and didn't earn a dime since. But I would make that decision again in a heartbeat :)

I started from scratch a month ago, and I'm a biz guy by training. I'm not saying it's easy but accessible to put up an mvp. You should try http://fastfwdme.com, my second app !

Slides from a presentation I gave last week at HEC - would love some feedback if I reuse. Thanks!

we're on it, coming soon!

Hi all,

I've always felt that Foursquare checkins on location is not taking full advantage of 4Sq.

So I built this yesterday : a small app (or feature, really) to schedule future checkins & notify your friends ahead of time.

Built this for me, thought it might help others. What do you think?

I've worked on both sides of the pond. Trust me, entrepreneurs in France/Europe work as hard as the others!

Also: what about leaving your comp in France, with some trustworthy guy heading it, and leaving to SF with the guys from your team that want to follow you? That way, you keep you Co and can always come back to it - if need be.

Short: don't hesitate a second (though negotiate hard).

Long: How many times can this happen? Honestly?? How big is the startup? How much press do they get ON A DAILY BASIS? How much equity would you get? How big is their market?

You can always come back to (beautiful!) Strasbourg. You won't have many other similar opportunities.

Really cool idea, thank you ! Will try to implement this next week
