This was a great profile.


Didn't know. Thanks for heads up!


The newsletter only has an e-mail capture page. No blog, etc. We curate the best tech and business news in short, concise paragraphs and deliver them to your inbox daily


The topic is too generic. You should add a sample email to the page so that people can have an idea what kind of newsletter they are subscribing to.


Great feedback. Think this can easily solve the problem. Thanks!


This is the worst. You either have to train your hand-eye coordination to be similar to an Olympic athlete or memorize URLs that only the dev team of certain sites should have burned into their brains


It is an interesting idea to let unaccredited investors to enter the space. The benefits to them are obvious. I'm wondering if the value prop of high interest rates (5-10%) or short, secured loans (1 year) are more attractive?


The piece that caught my eye is the Kickstarter rewards. He understands that people want to gain access and develop relationships. Very powerful realization that is actually working


Definitely hustling. I don't think he set out to piss off record labels, instead he avoided them, which pisses them off. Kickstarter is making this more and more common by empowering individuals


He has captured a demographic that is nearly impossible to grab the attention of. That is worth big time money to record labels.


While he is definitely attacking record labels, there have been a number of corporations that he dismissed when approached about sponsorships, etc


This is real cool. Thanks for sharing
