Tim Ferriss Needs A Startup To Invest In

I would also invest 100k-1mi in a company that&#x27;s growing 10% month-to-month and had 10k+ paying users.<p>No companies in such position should need to raise that amount money. It&#x27;s not completely useless, but: you can&#x27;t hire talented developers with it, you could spend cash with office and &#x27;stuff&#x27;... My point is, if you are profitable, raise 20mi, 10mi. 100k won&#x27;t make much difference.<p>Maybe you want to work specifically with Ferriss, but the truth is, profitable startups are in high demand (because there are none) and they are the ones choosing partners.

Is it possible to short startups? Because I would love an opportunity to short Tim Feris, even if only by proxy.

If he were true to his own principles I would expect each employee at that startup has only to work 4 hours a week. Would love to see how far they get with Ferriss&#x27; success strategies.

There&#x27;s a lot of negativity about Ferris in this thread, and it&#x27;s clear he&#x27;s a very divisive figure, not only here on HN.<p>But I wonder, what about those successful startups he advises? Surely, if Uber, Evernote, WordPress, and Shopify are happy with his services, he can bring <i>something</i> to the table?<p>I&#x27;m genuinely curious why all the negativity. Just in case anyone&#x27;s wondering, I&#x27;m not particularly a fan of his either, but I&#x27;m open to the possibility he can add value to companies.

It&#x27;s really sad to see the HN community hate on Tim Ferriss so much. Yeah, he&#x27;s a controversial person, and he&#x27;s totally aware of that (even using it to his advantages).<p>But after you inserted your 4 Hour joke here, think about what you have done, that created value in this world?<p>Tim wrote three NYT Bestsellers and at least two (if not three depending on how you&#x27;ll measure this) have touched and changed so many lives in a positive way. What have you done?

Slightly OT when Tim says &quot;US-based investable entities (which is easy)&quot; how easy it really is?<p>Even if one incorporates in say Delaware, according to (say UK rules) a company is resident where the heart of the company is. And if I, as a director, am physically out of US (or Delaware), how can you claim your company is resident there? Nominee directors?

Mm what a pitty that we are only lacking 10000 paying costumers to meet the requirements...(we are about to launch in a couple of weeks, 0 tracktion by now) Anyway here it is www.apparly.com

Don&#x27;t expect more than 4 hours of mentoring!

I find it interesting he states &quot;No enterprise software&quot;.
