Slacktivism
Supporting a cause in the laziest way possible, usually on social media. You feel like you're helping without getting out of your chair.
"I see in my feed you retweeted every single ice bucket challenge video. You should get an award for your slacktivism."
healthdatatom over 2 years agoThe Five Dollar Footlong Lean Startup Diet
When a startup founder lives off of five dollar foot long sandwiches to save money for his or her early stage venture. They buy a single five dollar foot long subway sandwich, eat half of it in the afternoon and the other half at dinner.
Since Julius is on the five dollar day long diet, he only eats footlong subway sandwiches everyday to conserve his companies startup money. It's kind of sad.

Haashole
A student pursuing an undergraduate, Masters, or PhD degree from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.
I don't know whether to add Derrick to our Hackathon team. He's just a Haashole who tries too hard and doesn't understand how anything works. He's a great bullshiter though so maybe he would be useful for the presentation.

Deliverables
A startup uses this word when it's no longer a startup
"Hey congrats on the series B!"
"Thanks! Are your deliverables in yet?"
orien over 2 years agoSilicon Beach
The area around Playa Del Rey/Venice where a fuckload of tech companies are moving in. Synonymous with brogrammers and people that wear startup t-shirts in public.
Brogrammer Intern 1: "These new start-up tanks are clutch! Silicon Beach is the fucking bomb dot com!" Brogrammer Intern 2: "Shakabrah dude let's get SugarFish later then hit up the Bungalow since we're rich and gentrifying LA!" Brogrammer Intern 1: "Tubular brah let me shave my neckbeard first then we can get hyphy for real my friend"

4 Year Vesting
You get a percentage of a total amount of stock allocation that cashes in yearly intervals until your 4th year.
Also another way of saying "I know it's tempting to leave, but we want you to stay while you're still young."
Zeeshan: You should start your own company. You're smart enough and have know enough people to recruit a strong founding team.
Kunal: Definitely! We should! I just need to wait until I'm 30 and my shares at Pied Piper vest!
Zeeshan: That's how they get you.

US Bitcoin Legislative Arms Race
This references the pressure Bitcoin startups have to show significant traction or get acquired before the United States outlaws the use of Bitcoin (whether this will or will not happen is of course debatable).
Look man, because of the US Bitcoin Legislative Arms Race, our job is to make enough sales and sell out before the House and Senate make some extreme move in banning Bitcoin and making our company essentially worthless here in the US. I don't want to move to Greece man.

Friend 2: "Nope. VC Money"

Slacking
Using a productivity tool called Slack to get work done or communicate with one's team. This can easily be confused to mean "not doing one's work."
Jack: You've been getting alot done. James: Yeah man, I've been slacking all day.

Facebook Reach
Facebook reach is the number of people that see posts from Facebook pages. Organic Facebook reach has dropped since Facebook made changes to their feed algorithm to encourage companies to buy ads promoting page posts.
It's almost pointless for our startup to promote our Facebook page because we will have to pay to get any Facebook reach.

The perfect child. A Harvard graduate and now a player in the NBA. He is often used in reference by parents (especially in Palo Alto where he went to High School) to "motivate" their child to do better in all aspects of life.
Krishna Lee: Mom, I got into UCLA!
Mom: "WHY YOU NO LIKE JEREMY LIN. HE GO TO HARVARD AND PLAY IN NBA."

Tweetstorm
When somebody wants to tweet something that is more than 140 characters but is not considerate enough to link to a blog post or use an image. Tweets in a tweetstorm are generally numbered and look like a mini essay in your Twitter feed.

A publicly-traded spam-bot and click-bait machine. It will steal your contacts info and transmit spam to you and your contacts in perpetuity. The 'Unsubscribe' link in the email is only a placeholder. LinkedIn engineers deliberately did not code any action into the link click, because Fuck You!
Compelled by the torrent of spam, you will login to the web interface/app and have your news feed bombarded with Grade A click-bait from famous internet trolls such as Business Insider.
I recently signed up on LinkedIn and now my 100GB inbox is #reckt.

Gluttonygramming
Programming and working at a slower pace to purposely get more food out of the company.
Jordan didn't feel like cooking dinner so he started gluttonygramming to force the company employee policy of paying a 15$ credit for engineer's dinner who works until after 7.

this one's great
Thought this could be on Slack which would make audience even smaller. "I've done my part in the movement since I discussed it in my private Slack group."
