Ask HN: Coming to Bay Area to film about female entrepreneurs.Who wants to meet?

Posted by itsybaev on Monday March 18, 2013 @06:01PM
from the ask-hn dept.

2 UCLA students and I are filming a story about females as startup founders. We're going to film in the Bay Area through March 24-28. If you have any amount of time to spare, could we meet during those days for an interview?We'd like to meet serial entrepreneurs (especially women), business accelerators, VCs and mentors. We're going mostly to Mountain View and Palo Alto, but would probably come...

Re:Money matters: why women founders struggle in Silicon Valley on Thursday March 07, 2013 @01:37AM (#5336454)
imho, your example is not very good, because VCs don't give funding preferably to those with male names. According to the article VCs just "can’t see the world from a woman's perspective". Then the question is why VCs don't hire more female experts if they "can’t see the world from a woman's perspective".
Re:Money matters: why women founders struggle in Silicon Valley on Thursday March 07, 2013 @12:57AM (#5336359)
I just can't get why that has become an issue. What's the difference between male & female founders? Is there any discrimination of the female founders or not? If not, so why is it harder for the women to get funding?
Re:Ask HN: IRA funds and 401(k)s as your startup funding source? on Wednesday March 06, 2013 @02:37PM (#5333277)
Then I wonder why it's a "creative way" according to the article)

Ask HN: IRA funds and 401(k)s as your startup funding source?

Posted by itsybaev on Wednesday March 06, 2013 @02:21AM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hello hackers, I've just read the article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/martinzwilling/2013/03/06/10-more-creative-ways-to-finance-your-startup/#10 says: IRA financing. Investment Retirement Account funds and 401(k)s are arguably the single most accessible alternative funding source available today for startups. You can’t use your own self-directed funds for your startup, but many others are...

Re:Why Everyone Should Not Learn To Code on Thursday February 28, 2013 @08:43PM (#5302344)
well.. I've worked in Exxon Mobil for a while, now own a successful business and also CEO in a startup. Your point of view is acceptable for some small companies and startups, but if the company goes bigger, everyone just can't do everything, it's a chaos and loss of concentration.
Re:Why Everyone Should Not Learn To Code on Thursday February 28, 2013 @08:35PM (#5302299)
Basic accounting class is equal to the basic computer class. You'll learn just very general things like "this is computer and here's what it does"
Re:Why Everyone Should Not Learn To Code on Thursday February 28, 2013 @08:28PM (#5302269)
There should be a specialization: some people are specialized in coding, others - in something else. A group of specialists together is better than a group of those who can do several things just not too bad.

It's not about what instruments to use, it's about how to use them. PHP is definitely not dead and won't die soon.
