CompassMD http://compassmd.com/ is addressing #1 and are getting great traction from what I hear.


100% true! We believe that there is a trifecta for finding and choosing doctors: Cost, Quality and Compatibility. The compatibility component has been largely ignored... that's where we shine.


We were even selected as one of four winners at the Innov8 For Health Idea Expo last week http://innov8forhealth.com. Does compatibility between you and the doctor matter?


I've heard about them as well, definitely should give compassMD a look sounds like they would be right up their ally.


This is more talking about people who asked for an intro, but then don't reply when they get it.


That makes sense. I'm not currently looking for a job, and I don't like having people try to sell me on them.


Great point. An unwanted intro can annoy everyone involved.


Agreed. That's actually the most important part of intro etiquette.


I actually wrote this because I've given several intros in the last month where the person I introduced never replied. Then I get an email from the person I introduced them to a few days later saying "What's up with that?".

Just embarrassing.


If it's laziness on the part of the person being introduced, then it's pretty bad and you should stop doing favors for that person. However, I've had situations where the person being introduced simply didn't realize the ball was in their court. A quick message to that person should do the trick; "Hope this helps! You should follow-up with John as soon as you can."


This just really surprises me! Maybe I'm not doing enough intros.


Or letting an intro sit and rot in your email box without replying. Drives me nuts.



Then the Lumia is a copy of the nano from a few gens ago.


Agree, but it's ugly and purposeless. I think the nano (wrist watch)could have been a great product with wireless iOS integration,like Pebble.


Which itself is a redesign of the iPod Mini.

In short, this styling has roots that can be traced in a continuous chain back to an ancestor that hit the market 7 (nearly 8) years before the Lumia came out.


Now I don't know what to buy!


I didn't realize they had the single Qualcomm chip for CDMA/GSM back on the 4S too. That's a nice piece of tech.


That's what people in semiconductors do -- they try to take a bunch of features and package it in a single chip to reduce costs. There are chips out there with temperature, accelerometer, and proximity sensors packaged in a single unit. There was a time when an actual quartz crystal was needed as a resonator, and now those are replaced with mems technology so that one can package more into a single silicon chip.

I'm sure we can all remember the time when the cpu & gpu were separate chips.


I would say if you're looking for straight up accounting xero, lessaccounting, or QuickBooks would be the way to go.

If you want a financial dashboard independent of accounting, Mint or indinero make the most sense at the moment.

We built http://60mo.com as a forecasting tool first and foremost, and it integrates with QB and QBO now (and other tools soon) to bring in actual data. We've got a lot more coming down the pipe, so give it a try!


Shares or options? At the most recent value, that's ~$90k in shares, and would be taxed as such, no? Options would be better from a tax perspective.

Recent funding != stable, what do the books look like? I'm going to guess not profitable. Was the round C to stay alive, or expand operations / R&D / Sales? Have they even flirted with profitability?

Do you feel like the comp package (minus the equity) is fair? Do you know if you'll even be empowered (really) to drive a new product or are you walking into a political mess and are going to get canned before the shares even vest (is there a vesting schedule?)

Lots of questions to factor in. My opinion is always to ask them all, and their willingness to answer (regardless of the answer's content) will tell you everything you need to know.
