Pitching Hacks, page 16: “…in a terrible market… your startup will die. This is the story of videoconferencing, and workflow software, and micropayments.”

Can you elaborate on that please? Is Basecamp not a workflow software? What about Websphere? Outlook? Is online advertisement not a form of micropayments? Is the lack of success of micropayments due to non-existence of a relevant market? Aren`t Pivotal Labs offices equipped for video conferencing?

Just tried to check out the happy meal with paypal, looks like you don’t offer any other shipping location than the US. Can we have that shipped over here in China?

Love the angelist posts – great to see the Internet being used to bring start-ups and investors together and is actually doing what it was designed for.

Reading Pitching Hacks was the best 2 hours of my past 3 month crash course in startup funding. Time to light DailyDigital’s deck on fire again and pull 11 pages out of the ashes. Thanks guys!

Wow! Thanks so much guys! Everything in your write up is spot on.

I studied a huge volume of materials regarding VC and yours is far and away the clearest and best. I appreciate the simplicity and clarity of your explanation.

I feel like I was previously walking around in a fog. You know, I could see what was within a 5 foot radius and as I moved around I could see other parts within that radius. I never had a cohesive picture of all those parts worked together. But now that that fog has lifted and I can see the whole picture and that makes all the difference.

The books you recommend were superior too! Gary Blank is a visionary. Interview with Sean Ellis was inspiring too!

If I intuitively understood the process of growing a business before you have helped turn that understanding into a weapon I can wield as opposed to one based on reacting to gut feel. You have weaponized my understanding!

You guys are hands down the best resource for people trying to understand both how to gain access to VC and how to grow a business from a small startup to something big.

Sincerely: THANK YOU!
