I'm James, one of the founders of Heroku.For those of you attending Startup School next weekend or planning to watch the video stream, do you have any questions you'd like answered that are specific to me/Heroku?

I'd love to hear about your experiences finding customer number 1, customers 2-10, and similar.

I'm personally interested in hearing any advice you have for graduating students who are deciding between:-- working at a large corporation (Google, Microsoft, Amazon)-- working at a (for lack of a better term) "well-established start-up" (Dropbox, Twitter, AirBnB)-- working at a very young and small start-up-- pursuing their own start-upWhat experience should they expect to get from working at each of these "levels" and what is absolutely necessary to do/have before jumping between these "levels"?Thanks, and looking forward to hearing your talk!

Speak more about the downs than the ups. The press covers enough ups.P.S. Heroku is an awesome name!

Tell us how hard things were for you. It helps people like us that are used to everything going wrong without quitting. And plis, tell us multiple times to "NEVER QUIT". It's very important. Thanks .

I've heard that you and your founders were all serial entrepreneurs going into Heroku. What did you learn from your previous companies?
