There a lot of pressure when you have 40+ people expecting you making them a 10x + return. But raising money is something that startups think they must do these days.

I'll say. Raising money is why many startups fail.

"Nobody pressures you to achieve a certain level of material success."
I live here in New Zealand and thats quiet true. There are 3 billionaires in NZ and almost no one knows who they are. The only guy that is living a noticeable extravagant lifestyle is Kimdotcom, but that guy's german.

What are you talking about? Quixey.com is an app that let users discover apps and hasn't been removed from the android app store. Plus it has raised millions from Eric Schmidt's fund, Innovation Endeavors.

Chris, do you plan to release this on iOS? Are there any restrictions from Apple?

Whatever you wear reflects on you. I don't think this is something for someone who is fashion conscious people (like many people in LA). Wealthy people would prefer an Audemars or a Rolex any day compared to a Motorola or Samsung. Definitely see maybe teens and techies in Silicon Valley wearing these.
Like the iPad when it first when out, the smartwatch should do some key things better than any other device, which it does and some minor things like telling the weather, taking notes etc. although reading long articles, viewing photos or anything that involves a lot of interaction is be suited on a phone, tablet or computer.

I have 3 question:
1. Will this only work with Android phone for now?
2. Do you agree that smart watches are more for apps that don't need a lot of user interaction. Like Instagram or Dropbox will not be great on these. Simple things like showing weather etc. will be okay.
3. Does anyone know the price of the Moto G or another Android Wear devices?

Secret's just a Instagram/Snapchat/WhatsApp wannabe. Those VC's are hoping as hell.
I have meet a lot of wealthy/successful people and trust me, they are way more happy than the poorer people I have meet. They've achieved their dream and can continue doing so. They have traveled, they given back, they create things, they are loved and they're happy.
>On your death bed you probably won't be looking over your life and decide whether it was worthwhile or not, and give yourself some report card on it. Instead you more likely won't even remember more than bits and pieces, and then eventually die and forget it all. You're wrong about this one. The biggest regret for people on their death beds were having gone through life with goals unfulfilled. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/feb/01/top-five....
I've always found it funny how others like you label rich people as having a shit life. That they can't find true love and have to hire escorts etc.
Success is what makes you happy. That could be making a billion dollars or milking cows.
Most of people have huge dreams and goals they want to achieve, its just that most don't care and don't try.
