Derek talks too much and interrupts too frequently when he should be listening and letting Michael finish.

We got rejected from YC. With a very thoughtful response as well. Totally agree with you on that one.

[@billionaire.academy]

Can't wait to participate in Startup school again!

YC is getting better, so it needs awesome social network! Good job YC.

Give. More. Feedback! Awesome interview and agree, the startup loses when they don't get real, honest feedback from anyone - especially investors! One thing we're working on over here is pitching at least once a week. We're not raising money but just so that we can get tighter with our messaging and story telling.

Raising money:
Show execution without the need for investment.
Run process tighter, in parallel, true founder material.
Tell a convincing growth projection/ story.

We have the next salesforce, workday and Kabbage combined. We are about to start a revolution😊. Good talk

[@Jamesandrews1997]

Great interview. Entrepreneurship is on the decline? What is this based on?

[@VeryPrivateGallery]

James Andrews The world is also on the decline, based on raising sea-level.

No confío en una persona con ése volumen físico, así mismo debe ser su organización, fatigada.

[@erwinmoreno23]

Jajajaja seguro tú tienes una compañía mejor. Aunque debería cuidar su salud el tipo

[@ab-gr5eh]

@@erwinmoreno23 jamás, YC es única, sólo sentí asfixia ver el nuevo CEO, no sé que pensarán las startups en salud que él impulsa.
