You've had a hard path, @eriktorenberg. Product Hunt, Village Global, On Deck weren't great fits, but I'm sure you're gunna pull it off this time. Your story of resilience is inspirational. Rooting for you from flyover country 馃

Unfortunately I need to shift my public enemy #1 from YC to a16z. Blame my very distant internet cousin, Erik.

You have had every resource in the world and haven't done it. Not even close. You had it with On Deck and got ahead of your skis. Now you get another chance inside of a16z. Once again, every resource in the world. I will be watching. And competing :)
For the last decade, people have been talking about the unbundling / disruption of LinkedIn.
But it hasn鈥檛 happened. Not close.
So: if you were focused on building whatever comes after LinkedIn, how would you approach it?
What鈥檚 your best idea or the best take you鈥檝e seen?

2 years since we set out to build the platform for autonomous delivery. Thank you to the partners, investors, family, and friends who believed in us before there was anything to point to.
Thank you to everyone building with us. 馃弫

Tools that link LinkedIn social graphs to find warm intro paths to investors are hilarious. Like we all keep up a curated LinkedIn network 馃槅 Want to solve for this? Build a new social graph. That's what we're doing at @matcapvc.

Been looking for the proper UX for planning the intro requests for my MatCap portfolio, and I landed on a fantasy football draft equivalent. It's perfect. Unlike other intro platforms, every single intro request is made by me. Not some faceless AI thing. So i need a killer dash.

The common and mostly accepted advice that startup should have revenue traction before it starts raising capital is the reason AZ is a top 20 tech hub in the USA, not a top 5 one. It's not always bad advice, but it's always bad universal advice.
