Seed Funding Options For Entrepreneurs (2008)

That was really one of the worst articles I have read in a while. Maybe 2 or 3 lines with any real substance, and while someone may have learned something form them, I think the average HN reader not only knows those lines, but likely can explain them better.

Anybody who is an expert or authority in a domain should have no problem handling 1-2 contracts a month. Above all, it's a solid method for building reputation and network. mobility is a plus as well!

I personally don't think the problem is the money. The kind of money Ycombinator offers isn't hard to find, a credit card could be enough. The value of some incubators is the mentoring they offer and their rolodex (do those things still exist?)

I stopped here:

5) Already a successful entrepreneur? Self-fund from cash via your last exit. VCs will be beating down your door to co-invest. Your choice...

This is garbage.

How did this article ever make the front page?
