ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, when you said above that this channel was worth "over
$1b" I didn't takei t seriously as if it has like 500 regulars then just a couple of people worth
$50M - or a single Internet billionaire who drops in sometimes - would account for that
ninjashogun: so out of a
$50K investment, probably a few hundred would go to server costs and
$47K would sit in the bank for six months. while we build it (Though I know that is not what investors like to hear)
ninjashogun: mircea_popescu, it doesn't matter if they're worth
$10M altogether or
$10B. As long as at least one person here has a portfolio and is interested in startups
ninjashogun: So I am looking for a roughly
$50K investment (nominal, could be less). Is anyone here in a position to conssider that, has a portfolio and has been involved iwth other startups in the past? An interest in mathematics (specifically graph theory) helps immensely.
ninjashogun: WhatsApp just sold for
$16Billion, and there is a huge bubble in the valley . technical jobs are very scarce. we have 1) something much better than search, based on graph theory (without sayin gmore) and 2) a reason people will upload their profiles for this reason :) We can get a lot of technical profiles just from launch / announcements (on hacker news etc)
