Who's attending Startup School in NYC? I'm hoping to see that it's most of the local HN community!

Feel free to share what type of startup you are currently working on.

I am planning on applying for a handful of MBA programs and am looking for recommended GMAT exam preparation material. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I am working on a mobile web app that needs to pair random users together.

For example, user 1 will let the app know they are looking for someone to be matched up with, and when user 2 goes to look for someone they should be matched.

What is this process referred to as, and where can I read more information? :)

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

I am working on a newfangled messaging app and am curious how many users I need before I can consider my concept proven?

I think this information would be helpful to other HN members as well!

Which language do you prefer and why?*

Python or PHP?

* I am not trying to start a language flame war here. Just trying to see how everyone feels and what their reason is for using their language of choice. I have been using PHP on and off for years but recently learned Python and am curious if it's worth knowing one over the other.

Good morning HN,

I am in the early stages of researching a potential start up concept for local restaurant owners. What do you think is the best / most efficient way of going about this? Ideally I would like to obtain email addresses and reach out so I can scale quicker than cold calling for example.

Any insight would be much appreciated!
