ASK YOUR STARTUP QUESTIONS ON ONSTARTUPS ANSWERS

October 12, 2009

I’m silly about this brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new project!

Dharmesh Shah of OnStartups proposed the brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new website for entrepreneurs, as well as he courteously invited me to co-moderate the site.

OnStartups Answers is the brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new site where we can ask any subject about startups: Starting, ideas, raising money, starting alone, co-founders, marketing, hiring, shoestring budgets, accounting, sales people, cold-calling, technical talent, what to do when you’re burnt out…. anything.

It’s awesome, as well as it’s not only the “forum” or the “community” or the small alternative general crap similar to that. Here’s why:

Other entrepreneurs answer the questions, as well as the vote-based “reputation system” ensures which great answers “bubble up” as well as highlights people who consistently furnish great questions as well as answers.

Among those people already contributing overwhelming questions as well as answers have been obvious successful entrepreneurs as well as investors including:

Joel Spolsky of FogCreek as well as Joel upon Software
Dharmesh Shah of OnStartups & HubSpot
Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz
Nivi of VentureHacks
Neil Davidson of RedGate Software as well as Business of Software
Adam Smith of Xobni
Peldi Guilizonni of Balsamiq (yes that guy)
Alex Papadimoulis of DailyWTF as well as Inedo Media
…. as well as me!

I’m respected as well as anxious which Dharmesh asked me to co-host Answers, though what’s unequivocally fun is which we all get to encounter brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new people, listen to brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new ideas, as well as get questions answered quickly.

After all, the Internet is huge, though someway it manages to be an relate chamber. In speculation we have approach entrance to everybody with an email address, though in use the sea is as well large to find brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new people we similar to as well as trust.

So it’s sparkling to consider that, in the small way, we’re office office building the place where we can get quality, sundry answers to questions about startups, as well as get to know the small brand brand brand brand brand brand brand new people who we would have differently never have met.

Besides, how cold is it to get your subject answered without delay by Joel Spolsky?

It’s been engaging being upon the executive side of office office building the site as well as bootstrapping the community; let me know in the comments if we wish me to write about the experience.
