zazpowered over 8 years agoYahoo Purple
The signal of a bad and usually old fashioned product. If the product seems innovative and actually useful you will quickly find out that it is like a typical Yahoo app (sucks/requires a Yahoo account) and there are other apps that do the same thing but better. The only exception is Yahoo Fantasy Sports

yungsnuggie almost 9 years agoCap Table
Pretty much just lays out the founder's and investor's percentage of ownership, equity dilution, and value of equity in each round of investment.
I sometimes hate raising money because of all the shifty things investors try to do to fuck founders on the cap table instead of trying to look for terms that benefit both sides and the company.

mwang almost 9 years agoRecruiter
A non-technical sales person who acts as a professional middle man/woman that does everything they can to get between tech talent and the company they want to work for, in order to arbitrage the deal-flow around the economics of a code ninja actually working for a company. Their job is to get in the way and stop tech talent from working for the companies they want to work for unless they the recruiter can get paid for the work the tech talent does as well. They will only introduce you to the companies they can make money from and are not known to care about "fit" or your own happiness outside of them getting paid, but because they get paid so much for providing so little value they will smile and lie to your face and tell you otherwise.. Also known as a cancer to most startups and companies.
Adam: The recruiter lied again. I'm still not getting paid on time or in the right amounts. And its not a full time gig like I was told, its a contract with no possibility of conversation or extension.
Steve: Dude, that's what recruiters do. Never trust a recruiter, they are a cancer.
