Hi All,I need to write an executive summary for our startup but I don't really know where to start. The audience for this summary is going to potential advisors for now and investors in the future.

If you all have some thoughts on what should/shouldn't be included, that...
Hi all - I'm looking for some recommendations for a startup friendly bank. Ideally ones that: 1. deal with web startups regularly 2. have been involved with early stage external financing 3. even better if they have a location around Los AngelesAny ideas or thoughts around startup banking would also be appreciated.Thanks
However, the challenge is we haven't started a full blown cycle yet. So we really have only 1 "client" so far. This is in a space where customers are not very innovative which is where we come in.
Seems like we do have to start the customer development process.
I agree with they buy "solution" and even if better, they will stick with that old one for a while - which is why it's more important to get selling early I think.
My only worry is talking about products and someone really wants to go and we won't be able to right away.
Note: we have a team of 6 developers working on this, so it's not a 1 person thing.

Hi All, does anyone know of a service or a set of API's to get a person's airline rewards/miles and hotel rewards points by entering their login/password? Sort of a "Yodlee" equivalent per se for Mint would be a good analogy.If not, how does Points.com get this information? Do they integrate individually with each service? And if yes, how do we do that?Thanks everyone, we're bummed here so any...
Hi All,I need your help and thoughts. Here's a quick background.I started building some projects for fun and realized that it would be great if I can hire some help. Obviously, I couldn't afford a full time salary here, so I decided to see if there's some possibility of an offshore team.I hired my first person 18 months ago and this person started working at then my partners house (he lives...
Can someone point me to a study or stat on how many people have sound enabled on their computers.We need to do some analysis for an app we're building which depends on sound being enabled.
