Completely awesome to see this happening in the midwest!

As someone that has traveled from Kansas for many years for conferences, it's wonderful to see friends from the coasts coming to Kansas!

There is a huge difference between founding a startup in the midwest and being an engineer in the midwest. I believe that gets lost in a lot of the rhetoric from both sides. I love hiring engineers in the midwest. Consistently great work ethics, etc, etc.

On the other hand, if you're an entrepreneur, you don't live in SF and you're building a consumer internet startup, you're fucked. Primarily because your access to capital is so limited it's ridiculous. Most people that live in the midwest aren't able to put in the time required to build out the relationships needed to successfully fundraise in the Valley.

To the couch for 2 months.

And then back to another startup. ;)

Cutting calories is the only way to lose weight. Cutting carbs typically means people end up eating less calories, because protein is more satiating.

"Eating the same diet, just a lot less carbs"

If you're eating less carbs, that's 4 calories less for every grab of carbs you've cut out. If previously you were eating around 200g of carbs everyday (probably on the low end, honestly) you've now removed around 800 calories from your diet.

You're still cutting calories.

Clearly you don't know Jeremie.

His best work has yet to be done.

That's also the beauty of it. You get to start with a beginners mind.

None.

Yep, $212 million in value built in an extremely short time.

Because of a good graphic designer, sure.

I pay for and prefer KISSMetrics, and also pay for Mixpanel (a separate project).

KISSMetrics, visually, kicks ass. What sucks about it? It's not real-time. No simple real-time data export/querying API.

The latter is nearly a show stopper. I mean, really? No export/querying API?

It's dead equity and at some point in most every companies life, it happens.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.
