I have toyed tough about some kind text-to-speech bot that would automatically keep searchable memos from every meeting. But I am not sure is the current text-to-speech models there yet.
Instead of comparing what chinese have to what westerns have today, try to compare what chinese have without Google to what chinese will have with Google.
Thanks for the insight. Though every startup wants to get the best advisors in theory. They might also be OK to get good enough advisor based on their stage. For example, a pre-seed startup might find valuable to get advice from an A-round founder. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks for the info. I am aware of clarity.fm. I am thinking more a packaged advisor service like a group of advisors (e.g. one marketing, one product, one legal etc) to provide on-going very tactic advisors based on startups' context. Something like YC is offering in their core program but to every startup.
Because I don't want an armchair advisor w/ no skin in the game to give me advice on generic things like marketing, and product. I want someone who's invested in the journey. They'll also have more meaningful advice b/c it means they've done the research into my product/market/competitors.
in emergency situations like hurricane or earthquake, the current ridesharing system might provide very limited mobility when you need the most. Keep your options open at any time might be priceless sometimes.
Or you get in a car and sit in traffic until you run out of gas and then you're stranded on a highway in the middle of nowhere during a hurricane, as happened to so many people in Houston this past fall.
Few of our cities are actually evacuable in an emergency.
As a startup founder, I wish every startup can be part of YC. But at the same time, I hope YC does not end up investing ALL promising startups (which become big later) -- because if that is the case, it will be a disaster for any other startups that fail to get in YC, the unfundable signal is way too strong to investors.
In that sense, I appreciate companies like Buffer, Uber/Lyft etc.
Even if YC could get to a point where they fund all-and-only the successful startups, if you're not funded in one batch it doesn't mean that you can't learn, fix your issues, and get funded (and thus successful) later on.
We are a seed stage startup and growing very fast. We are looking for our first server engineer, you will lead the server efforts and play significant role here. Our current stack is Python+Django+Postgresql etc. Email me at jz@sherpashare.com if you are interested in learning more.
