Building a Website with Google Drive + Insync - 1 views

  •  
    "Build a website using Google Drive You are already using Google Drive to store your stuff. Why not use it to create your website? How do to it? Keep reading. First, create a folder as a top folder. Then place all your assets (css, images, etc.) into The newly created folder. In The example below, The top folder is called "The insync webpage" with css, images and js folders. You will also need an index.html. If you do not start with an index.html file, Then visitors to your site will see a directory listing of all of The files in that folder, raTher than your home page. Once all your folders and files are synced, right click your webpage folder and select Insync → Copy public link. Insync "publishes" your content using The Google Drive publish API. Paste The public URL to a browser and you're done! Here's The one we did: http://bit.ly/127SJMY To recap: Prepare your assets. Upload your assets on Drive via Insync. Copy public link. Don't expect any more steps. You're done. If your registrar supports URL forwarding, you can forward your domain to The public URL. Would be nice to add DNS redirecting so you can add custom domains in The future. "

Zombie Startups | Danielle Morrill - 0 views

    "The biggest problem we see with early stage companies coming out of YC, or really any program, is that They'll approach a year or two after They've graduated to raise a seed round. It's exciting to see They're still alive and pursuing Their vision, but Then we ask about The growth of The team and The ways They've been capturing The opportunity of The business in The time They've had… and discover everything is The same. The same 2 or 3 people, The exact same idea, very little growth around key metrics like engagement or revenue. So why should try raise a series A? What have They proved?"

Fabrice Grinda: Musings of an Entrepreneur » And then there were a 100… - 0 views

  • Jose and I typically invest in a copy only if the original model has reached $100 million in revenues and is profitable or on the path to profitability. Increasingly companies that have just raised seed money are being copied.
  • We don’t take simultaneous business model and market risk
  • mostly investing in priced rounds with pre-money valuations between $1 and $3 million, has allowed us to be successful on the majority of our exits – even when they were for less than $10 million
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Human nature is such that we would spend too much time with the companies fairing badly (even though the worst that can happen is that the value of our investment goes from 1 to 0) and not enough with the ones doing well (even though their value can go from 1 to 10 or 100!).
  • Most studies suggest that angels with fewer than 10 investments lose money, while those with more than 10 investments make money
  • The corollary is that by not being based in The Valley and by being so disciplined, we have not had any huge hits. Had we been given The opportunity to invest in Facebook, Google, Youtube, Linkedin and Pinterest at seed, we would have probably passed. None of The companies in The portfolio are worth more than $1 billion. Only a few have The potential to reach $1 billion and none seem to have The potential to be worth $10 billion.

How To Structure A Marketplace | TechCrunch - 1 views

  •  
    "It's an understatement to say that building a thriving marketplace is tough. Getting both sides of a transaction at the same place at the same time for the same thing can feel like it's an order of magnitude more difficult than a more traditional one-sided commerce business. But when the magic happens, it happens, and all of a sudden you've got Kickstarter."
