This company boasted of so many clients but couldn't show any as an example because they were all "pre-launch". Seemed like a big pyramid scheme that no one bought in to.
Serious question- does the team then negotiate new terms after the weekend for those that do want to stay on-board? Who holds the 98.4% in the meantime?
The impression I got was that the 0.4% was a guarantee for what you walk away with. If you stayed you would work out ownership of the whole thing with the rest of those who stayed to build the new startup.
The guy didn't belong in a startup weekend. The team at the weekend is supposed to own/share the results. Not some guy who can't recruit engineers and uses startup weekend to defraud the real talent to promote himself.
Really fascinating that Visa is a partnere here when they already own Cybersource, which is a key player in the enterprise e-commerce payment space. The $5b valuation is higher than what Visa paid to acquire Cybersource ($2b) in 2010.
Would be great to see the additional features from Cybersource (tax calculation, address verification, fraud management) available with the ease of integration that Stripe provides.
We are a luxury fashion brand, based in New York City, and an Internet Retailer top 500 website. I'm looking to grow our e-commerce team and have two open development roles: E-commerce Web Developer & Junior Front-End Developer.
For the e-commerce developer role, I'm looking for someone who can work with our platform (Demandware) to integrate with external systems, optimize performance, and help us build a better shopping experience. Previous experience with Demandware is great, but I'd like to talk to folks who have experience on other platforms (ATG, Magento, Hybris, Shopify).
For the junior front-end developer role, I'm looking for someone who can work with our creative, merchandising, and content teams to build out new shopping features in HTML, CSS, Javascript.
More information & application information is here. Please mention HN if you saw this!
As far as I know Radioshack doesn't own any of their stores so they're just leasing the retail space. Amazon would be better off opening new retail fronts.
