link to this video He doesn't sound sorry =p But if he really did "choose" the other guys, then maybe calling him the founder isn't so wrong.

On “Ask HN: What are you currently working on in your spare time?”
…rated 4x6 prints from my 3 siblings and I to my grandparents." Most people using NanaGram send photos to their loved ones but we do have some folks sending photos to themselves. @trykondev FYI your title tag is "Mysite." This is a super fun space to be in. Good luck with your launch. I think grandparents and moms are some the best of quantums. 0 link to this video 1 link…

On “How to Start a Business?”
Find a customer. If you can find one customer who has a pain point that is strong enough for which they are willing to pay $$ and even tolerate a sub-standard product/service, you're probably on to something. This is also what PG advises 0. I've been bootstrapping my startup, I landed a fairly well-known startup as a client which is helping a great deal. Delivering a good quality service gave me capital and credibility to now parlay for future business. 0 link to this video
