| | First Round "We love how simply she boils down the traits that hiring managers often think they're looking for — grit, teamwork, rigor, ownership, etc. — but don't know how to truly gauge in a series of hour or 30-minute long interviews. In this piece, she walks through exactly what to ask, what you're looking for in people's responses, and when to cut bait. There's a reason it's been shared over 13,000 times." | | Hicham Amine "A lot of startups and small businesses took off from Reddit, Hacker News, and Quora… These communities will give you positive attention if you contribute with original content, share your story and avoid an explicit sales approach." | | fourmilab "While many of the terms were conventional and were what we expected, several totally unexpected constraints on our ability to develop the company in the way that had brought us to the present point were contained in the deal. In particular, our ability to grant stock options to new employees was severely constrained by limits on the number available, by forcing the option exercise price to above the price paid by the investor (who received much better terms on his preferred than the employee would on his common stock), by retiring from the pool any options granted to an employee who subsequently left the company, and by imposing a four-year vesting period on all options, which the founders of the company felt transformed the options from their original purpose of allowing employees to share in the company's success to a kind of twentieth century indentured servitude which compelled employees to stay with the company or face forfeiture of their financial gains." | | Benedict Evans "Though 'TV' everywhere has the same subscription streaming model as music, the content is fragmented. This is partly because of media companies (like books and music companies before them) trying to go direct to consumer, and partly because the value of TV content seem to vary more (and might vary too much for a single bundle that doesn't just replicate the cable bundle), but also because (and this quite new), Amazon and Netflix have entered TV content creation and ownership in ways and on a scale that no-one from tech ever did for music or books." | |
