If you, like some of us, live in a country where the government of the day can seize your bank accounts because of your political views, storing your assets as crypto has real-economic value.

Brilliant! Thank you for putting this together

  * There is life after failing at a startup
  * When building a business, being organized matters more than being smart
  * Most things in life work out better when taken one step at a time, no matter how slow it feels
  * Things happen in life all the time. It gets easier when you can identify the ones you can change, which ones you can only change slightly and which ones you have no control over

What if you have a friend whom you've known for about 12 years, has stuck with you through some dicey times, you've worked with on a few things and trust and respect completely, is keen on the idea of a start-up and has a pretty good business sense and gets things done, But he's not passionate about technology. What would you advice?

@PG, I'm just saying...

Cool tribute. I've used one of the variations for my Facebook Cover

Well, I might know of one...I'll tell you at the interview :)

Do you think in some cases it would make sense to be a single founder?

Fantastic post!

Yeah, I think I read somewhere here that the first dinner was this week or something...

Yeah, I saw this on Facebook recently and was thinking of looking into it, thanks for the link!

Truly disturbing, makes you wonder what other effects of pollution are out there that we won't get to see until it's too late.

What are your thoughts on social entrepreneurship?

Thank you very much for your comment,your experiences by far put my situation into perspective. I have to admit that I was a bit naive in my approach to the whole idea of having a good mentor or working with someone I respect in this field and its good to see that with the right approach and a show of commitment and interest in the project on my part will go a long way. I also have to add that I am overwhelmed by the responses this post has attracted so far and I appreciate all your opinions on the matter, please keep them coming, cheers!

Thank you for your comment. In retrospect I may not have adequately detailed the work I have done so far, so that explains the responses.On the other hand though,sometimes its not just about the programming aspect of a project,for instance, if I have an idea for an app that I want to develop, but my technical skills limit me, it would be nice to have people to bounce the idea off and have it implemented. In short, great projects are made up of good product vision and adequate technical skills to implement it, some people have the two skill sets while in other cases its not that easy to bring two different people with the complementing skills together.

Wow, this is a great find. I bet whoever wrote it painfully had to swallow his words as the years passed and Google became what it is today. It just shows that with the right strategy and ideas, any startup can unsettled an established field and come out tops.

This is great news for all aspiring founders out there, at least some of now have a bit more time time to prepare our applications and hopefully our chances will be better due to the higher number of startups that will be funded.
