smit | 12 years ago | on: Anyone looking for a Non-Technical Co-Founder in SF, Boston, or NYC?

You sound like a good fit for the CEO of a startup. Since you have a ton of savings why not try to start an idea based on your skills instead of waiting for a technical co-founder? Maybe a service business first.

smit | 12 years ago | on: Show HN: Kickpoll - One click multiple choice E-mail poll

You should put a tweet button so people can share the website. I like how simple it is to use it.

smit | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are the best marketing resources as a developer running a Startup?

Every startup is different so it's hard to point to resources without knowing what customer acquisition channels work for you.

Guys these videos are an awesome concept but are they really helping your customer?

Just think what's going to make their life better or make them want to use your product.

Pretty cool. If a pet can help become more productive, every startup should get one ;)

I agree with you

smit | 13 years ago | on: Full Stack Hustler

I agree with you Felix. BD is normally associated with partnerships and sales which is why I decided to use Full Stack Hustler to cover a wider range of skills.

smit | 13 years ago | on: Full Stack Hustler

Thanks for the kind words haha. The post was more to serve as a quick summary of what non technical founders should do :)

smit | 13 years ago | on: Full Stack Hustler

This looks interesting. Is anyone else using it ?

smit | 13 years ago | on: How Twitter Came to Boston

Yes its a very tricky place to be in. Building a business on a single platform is so dangerous these days. I had a friend who tried to build on facebook platform and had to shut down because of their rules and threats.

smit | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Will Twitter Resumes Work?

It certainly doesn't hurt. Any new venues to be noticed is one step forward. Only thing is not many people might know that this is happening so its hard to know how many people are going to be noticed. I believe that people should be building relationships on twitter anyways and then leveraging them for jobs.
