Startup marketing strategies converge at the top. Selling a database to big companies is very different from getting users for a mobile game, but in both cases there's nothing better than making something so good that users spontaneously recommend it to others.
If you raise from VCs, most will pressure you to spend faster. Partly because, as money people, they think money solves problems. But partly for a more sinister reason: so they can buy more of the company when you burn through this money and need to raise more.
Italian Public Administrations must publish all code in #opensource on @developersITA and evaluate existing software before developing new products.

A startup that helps people make money will make money itself. Both Viaweb and Y Combinator did this. And so do Airbnb and Stripe.
It's not the only recipe for a startup, but it's a good one.
One sign of a startup idea is the word "shouldn't." If you find yourself saying "users shouldn't have to do x" or "we shouldn't have had to build y," it's often a sign of a missing startup. And if you're the one saying "shouldn't," that you would be a good person to start it.
The next time someone claims that starting startups is for rich kids, remind them that Airbnb happened because its founders literally could not pay their rent.
It's hard to beat someone at something if they enjoy it and you don't. This is true for good things like writing and dancing and also for bad things like meanness and office politics.
