Enjoying the examples on the site. It'd be great if some of those companies shared more data on how things are working for them. Maybe you can extract that from some of them :)

Product Hunt is addictive and fun, but also useful. I've found a few cool things that I've used right away, and more that I've bookmarked for later.

This is super cool. My kids are going to love this.

GoInstant isn't related to Go (the programming language), just has "Go" in the name of the company. It's a realtime, collaborative stack.

Exactly. reveal.js does a great job with the online presentation and GoInstant adds the collaboration to it.

The recruiting space! Mostly because I spent 3 years banging my head against a wall in that space.

Generally, I get nervous in the consumer space, but I've made several consumer investments.

There are a couple spaces I'd like to do something in -- education, robots, anything kid-related (b/c I have two young boys).

Very strange...I'm investigating with the hosting company to see what's going on.

Thanks. Appreciate that. Might as well be honest (about the good and the bad)!

Not all of the companies are successful or have been successful. They were successful at a specific point in time, doing a specific thing (like getting through problem interviews, for example) but it doesn't mean they were big hits as companies.

And many of the cases studies are about companies that were struggling with problems and managed to improve. The e-book specifically (and Lean Analytics, the book) aren't about understanding why startups failed, they're about how to use analytics to minimize failure and iterate past it.
