Hi,

What's been your biggest challenge as CEO of your own start-up?

What's the most frequent challenge you saw when working across various start-ups in the Valley?

What words of wisdom do you have for someone wanting to create their own start-up?

Lastly, as a CEO of a promising start-up, how do you think you would react if a complete outsider to your business cold-called/mailed your company with a potentially, feasible and lucrative idea? (Unfortunately, I don't have a great idea for Tindie, but am asking this question to see how a start-up CEO feels about cold-calling in general).

Thanks for your time (and sorry for all of the questions)

Interesting opinion on your cold call comment--I ask this question frequently to CEO's and the answer is always 50/50--some people share your opinion and view it as a waste of time while others value both from hearing from an outsider and this guy's determination. I'll agree with you on the email parts--but I personally find some value in a determined guy that somehow gets in front of you or gets your ear for 30 seconds with a decent idea. Who knows, I may be wrong (it's probably my Midwestern roots).
