Flagged.<p>I&#x27;ve had college projects longer than your tenure as a startup CEO.<p>Also, on ArtSpot:<p>The front page signup lightbox is broken--it isn&#x27;t sized properly and the signup button is moved wrong. You need to remove the &quot;btn-block&quot; class, or at least disable display:block on the element. Also, the lightbox shows up over the header--it should probably just occupy the main pane.<p>The footer on the front page could probably stand to be a proper navbar.<p>The background color of the typeform is slightly darker than the rest of the page background on the &quot;Own a venue?&quot; page. In fact, why use typeform at all? Just embed a Google Form and save me the trouble of having to sign up for anything. That&#x27;ll also save some annoying and ugly display scrolling display behavior. Ditto for the &quot;Collectors&quot; page.

It&#x27;s a good list but my favorite quote from last week, on twitter no less, is instructive:<p>&gt;&gt;&gt; &quot;Fail fast&quot; refers to your product, not your startup.&quot; - Justin Kan<p>18 months ago when I quit my job to join a new company as Co-Founder I had no intention whatsoever of failing and I still don&#x27;t. It&#x27;s not even an option. We did fail too slowly on the first rev of our first product and that was painful and expensive but we recovered.<p>Please stay healthy and learn to turn it off and sleep too. I strongly recommend quitting coffee altogether. It helps immensely to keep you on a good schedule.<p>[1] <a href="https://twitter.com/justinkan/status/571008487456509953" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;justinkan&#x2F;status&#x2F;571008487456509953</a>

For the record I ran growth @ a YC S12 startup. The co is still alive and kicking, but I needed to move on.<p>Great team if anyone is looking for a kickass role in user acquisition...
