Getting Your Online Startup to $1,000,000 a Year
I recently watched one of the best business/entrepreneurship/technology videos that I have seen in a long, long time. The below video is a presentation by the creator of Ruby on Rails and partner of 37 Signals (creator of Basecamp), David Heinemeir Hansson. The presentation takes place at Startup School 08 (Startup school is an annual free conference for hackers interested in startups).
If your goal is to take one or more of your domain investments and turn it into a full fledged web startup then this is a must see video for you. Sure you can monetize your domain names by just parking them but why not take a creative risk and have some fun to boot? Hansson gives some practical and sometimes downright hilarious advice about startups and specifically startups in the technology niche.
The video is 31 minutes and 53 seconds long including the question and answer time at the end and even includes all of the slides he used at Startup School 08. Check it out:

As someone in the process of launching a new company (to be announced soon) this was absolutely funny and timely to watch. He is spot on in so many ways.
His point in the beginning about launching without asking for funding from VCs is right. People give up their soul begging VCs for funding and then lose control of their “baby” before they even get of the ground. I find my self most impressed by people that have launched companies by using hardwork, passion, and bootstrapping it from the beginning.
Thanks for sharing!
that was awesome man, thanks for posting!!!
