Team up with other young startup founders and create a support system. When times are tough, these other startup founders can be your crutch. I will of course be here whenever you need :) No need to force a partner.

What do you suggest? Should I try to get a partner or can a great start up be done alone as long as you have a team behind you? Either way this post is so great I am about to read it again :) So many morsels of start up entrepreneurial wisdom!

You might even have several iterations of public beta but building incrementally is so important as it avoids building a mass of features that people may not even want or use and makes your product amenable to change. Good advice. Strongly agree with your statement on building a simple first public version that does one thing and does it well.

One professor of mine said: "The great thing that could change everything in Economics Theory is that we assume Preferences (and everything related to this, i.e. Utility and Well-Being) as exogenous. But what if people 'love what they have' instead of 'loving in general'? ". This would imply that people change their Preferences (and one more time everything related to this) according to what they DO have, instead of having this pre-established. Wow! Yes, this would mean that people could get satisfaction (hey RStones!) in a very different way of what we understand nowadays, and would maybe say to the fanatics for consumption that their lives could be even better without so much "credit cards" and etc. Yes, living as an entrepreneur could be one really good example for this: sometimes friends are more rich than us, but not so happy as us. Would this definition (less money more happiness) change the Economics Theory, my friends? Hey Max, sorry for the long post, but you inspired an young economist and entrepreneur here in Brazil.

I thought that was pretty profound. Personally, I have noticed that most people who are really good at what they do also genuinely like what they do. So the chicken or the egg? I think happiness/moral isn't an ends that comes from success; rather I think it is a conscious, voluntary, decision. (Certainly I've heard of people who are successful and unhappy). Anyways, not sure where I was going with this, but just wanted to say hands down there is no doubt in my mind that you guys will be huge. I think you've already done some pretty amazing stuff, keep at it.

One month is our deadline for that, but we're working with nanotech since 2007. But we took these years to develop our first product, that we hope to launch to the market early 2010. I'll be happy to share the website, etc., ASAP. The marketing is coming after the product (I know, maybe it's the wrong way, but that was our decision to keep a little bit the secret). Skype me: tasbr85 The blog may come later... I'm reading yours to understand what would be a great content or not. May give some advice on that! Cheers!!! Hey Jun,
