This comment is poorly written but I'll respond nevertheless. To be clear, people should attempt to do a startup. However, there is a proper way to do it, and there is a stupid way to do it. The media has inspired an entire generation of young students to drop out of their education and careers to pursue what is essentially a moonshot of starting a multibillion dollar empire. I understand that we all want to believe in success and greatness. However, how do you think the people of Myspace felt w…

Sure. You can share it (you didn't need to ask, I am aware this is a public forum). Networking in Silicon Valley is tricky. It is difficult to find genuine businessmen and technical talent. And even when you find they have the right qualifications, they might not even have the appropriate character (hard-working, trustworthy, will not backstab). In terms of businessmen, look for credentials. Former Vice President? Banker? Hedge Fund? Where did he work/what was the size of the fund? In terms of p…

You have to hustle to get the best jobs if you come from a non-prestigious college. Networking, shoving your way into career fairs, be as obnoxious as you can. The fact is, top tech/banks come to the doorstep of prestigious colleges for OCI's, whereas everyone else have to fight their way in.

That's a good point. Perhaps I'll write another post. A reasonable startup, in my opinion, are startups that can sustain itself without outside funding. Forever 21, for example, has retained a large amount of private ownership. They answer to no VC firm, no powerhouse angel investor, just themselves. They are a family-owned business with the revenue of a major corporation. They started off as a single brick-and-mortar store, then expanded, and then expanded. Taking on multiple sources of outside…

Thanks. A large majority of the money/business posts on this sub are fairly generic and don't offer a lot of specific advice. Definitely would be interested to reading a post from you on how you got into selling vinyl records, and how's that going for you.

It really depends on a case-by-case basis. There are a whole bunch of factors that go into it, and I made a sweeping generalization to illustrate a biased viewpoint. However, Facebook did attempt to release a Snapchat-like app called Poke, with poor results. Only then, they came to Spiegel with an acquire offer. Jobs threatened Houston that Apple was already building a storage feature that would take out Dropbox. There was not even an acquire offer, just a threat. The Twitter founders allegedly …

It depends on your definition of greatness. Greatness, to me, is financial independence. I can do whatever I want, when I want it. Do I really need 50 million to do that? 100 million? If you conservatively invest 10 million dollars at a 5% return, that's a 500k salary. A 5% return on 2 million dollars is $100,000. So 2-10 million dollars as a life goal seems reasonable, and still "great". You don't need to build a spaceship company to acquire that money. However, if "greatness" is defined by joi…

The majority of my post is focused towards tech-based startups, not small businesses. While they are, by strict definition, the same, the two are vastly different. One is a tech startup chasing Unicorn valuation and Facebook dreams, and the other is a small business building incremental income (restaurant, landscaping). My opinions on small businesses is more favorable than towards startups (I would rather be the founder of Forever 21 than Uber). I was mostly inspired to write this post because …

You should definitely head there as a CompSci coming from a prestigious university. Tech companies will offer great starting packages, and your job security is far superior compared to everyone else in every other department. They lay off the technical talent last.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
