A simple version 1 comes out Sunday. I'll post it to HN then. The focus is on companies no older than two years, and generally on those with consumer-oriented products. But beyond that, they could be funded or bootstrapped, located in Silicon Valley or Pittsburgh or anywhere else, and led by startup veterans or total newcomers. Amazing stuff is happening everywhere; you just need to look for it.

Journalism, with a focus on early-stage technology companies. Entrepreneurs are doing amazing things with small teams and relatively little capital, but the stories and lessons seem mostly lost in the stream of tech news about iPhones, the oldest Twitter user, or Facebook's privacy policies. I think there's a small but significant market for passionate, well-researched, educational content like this. I'll find out soon enough.

I've spent a non-trivial amount of effort trying to figure out how to do number two at scale, with a high level of accuracy, in a manner that could eventually be profitable. So far I'm not close.

Urbanfetch, I believe.

Ben Dunlap talks about a passionate life: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ben_dunlap_talks_about_a_...

"This is what I'm passionate about. It is precisely this. It is this inextinguishable, undaunted appetite for learning and experience, no matter how risible, no matter how esoteric, no matter how seditious it might seem."

Thanks. I'm curious why this info isn't in an obvious place. Do you convert better without it?

(Disclaimer: I'm a potential customer) You don't tell me how much it'll cost once the free trial is over, which makes my company extremely unlikely to try it out.
