I applied a few weeks back for the Customer Champion position off the previous Who Is Hiring thread, and even sent a follow-up email, and no response either time.

I believe that's what they do. When I cracked my screen, I had someone contact me immediately from iCracked that said they could come out to me and fix my screen. The price was about double what the Apple store ended up doing it for but I thought the service and response time was very good, but the price just seemed steep ($200 for iPhone 6 screen replacement - Apple did it for $100).

Applied for the Real Estate Transaction Coordinator position through the Greenhouse link. Became interested in the startup after hearing Keith speak about it pre-launch at the Collision Conference last year in Vegas.

Zero to One by Peter Thiel

Highly recommend. Not an easy read but full of great insight by Thiel.

I've been on CoFounders Lab and Founder Dating and there are some quality people on the sites but nothing meaningful ever materialized. Had some Skype chats with a few people but it's always "let's keep our options open and keep in touch," which obviously we all know means nothing will ever come of it. I haven't found alot of people who are serious and committed to building something. It seems like alot of people "exploring" building a startup on the side, or it's something they're considering in the future. I haven't spent much time on Angel List so I'm curious to see how that is.

I'm a Non-Technical co-founder and it's a little annoying when technical founders think and act like people like myself can't bring alot to the table, when we've had previous successful companies before.

This happened to me with Uber X. The driver was in an MLM company and was pitching me on it. He was a nice guy and I gave him 5 stars but I thought it was out of line to be pitching network marketing to your passengers, and he said that was the main reason he drove for Uber was to meet people.

I'm not in the Bay Area and am in Phoenix? Would this still apply?

Great product. I was on the pre-order list at $1299 and was disappointed to then get an email a month ago saying the price went up to $2000.

Outside of that, awesome job on the product. Looks great.

Started with a developer who was local and we all worked together for a period of time. He then decided to move and although we've continued to work together remotely, I'd venture to say it's been about 40% as effective as when we were all together. It's not that it doesn't work, it's just alot harder than being in person in the early stages, IMO.
