Due to PR reasons I couldn't talk about this before but we finally sold our startup!
It's been a few weeks now and I've been able to get in touch with some high profile entrepreneurs. Once I get to know them a little better I'll be exploring what their thoughts are in regards to the economics behind what's going on in the world today. They are all really smart guys but I wonder if they really understand what's been going on.
Being at the heart of silicon valley, I expressed interest to our new execs to setup a meeting with Peter Thiel, who they know personally. A discussion with him should be most exciting.
Once they get more comfortable with me I'll be proposing a business pitch that will essentially privatize education (if successful). I'm sure there's a million things that would stop this from happening but at least an attempt to bring it up or a disruption in the market is worth it. I don't even really mind if these guys took most of the credit, throwing a punch at state-run education would enough to satisfy me :)
So +1 for ancap entrepreneurs!
Wait, which one are you? The one whose bar mitzvah money was used? Were you on Shark Tank too? I remember that episode.
To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process. Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!" Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
Daniel Muffinburg:Wait, which one are you? The one whose bar mitzvah money was used? Were you on Shark Tank too? I remember that episode.
Nope, I'm Fadi, the guy behind the scenes who was running the technology for the company.
Ah, the CTO. Have you thought about helping out the LvMI? There's the "Mises.org Development" Google group, which you could join.

I'd love to help, but time is tight, merging two different corporation's technology is going to be a big project. However, I'll still try to help any way I can.
