"$35/Mo for 500 MAU, up from $23/mo for 1,000"


Does selecting the "Germany (remote)" filter here address your use case? https://www.trueup.io/jobs


That looks pretty good, thank you!


A few key insights:

1) There are 11,000+ open jobs in Open Source across top startups, unicorns, and big tech co's.

2) Developer Relations, Tech Writer, and Community roles are all 3X more in-demand at Open Source co’s vs. the rest of tech.

3) More than half (50.4%) of Open Source roles are Remote. That makes Open Source roles more than 3X more likely to be Remote than other tech jobs (current average across tech is 16.1%).

4) There are 3 companies with 10+ Open Source projects on GitHub each with 10K+ stars: Google (27), Facebook (16), Alibaba (13).


I find the equity split between Drew (25.3%) and Arash (10.3%) especially interesting given @paulg's 2014 tweet that "Zero of the most successful YC companies have a significantly disproportionate equity split" https://twitter.com/paulg/status/535588566978404352


Dropbox was an unusual case in that Drew built the product and got into YC before getting Arash to join. I guess maybe a lesson is that you can invent and code up something like the early dropbox on your own but it's useful to have a cofounder when employing a bunch of people and building a company?


It may have started equal at founding and changed over subsequent rounds. I know of a case where 4 founders started equal and differed by order of magnitude by the end.


How did this happen?


Many will sell some of their stock during a funding round to the new investor to take some money out and blow it on lambos.


Come to think of it - I don't many successful startups where the split is exactly equal prior to the IPO.

You'll find in the twitter replies that most people don't agree with his anecdata.


How is that not counterevidence given the significant split between the two?


I think that may be his point (that PG views that as an appropriate split for one or more reasons).


Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point, but the practice that you describe wouldn't result in an imbalance in the ratio of men to women.


Yes. This is a tech interview question at some companies.


This is an exciting product with a great team (especially founder Shireen Yates). I hope they launch soon-- my girlfriend is gluten free and this would be a great kwanza/hanukah/christmas present.


This Monkeybrains outfit also tried to crowdfund $325 million for a satellite last year (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/monkeybrains-satellite). They fell $324.989484 million short, though maybe that's just because crowdfunding wasn't as mainstream a year ago. That said, SF residents probably wouldn't tolerate a satellite in their air-space... i mean space-space?
