My name is Alexander Marktl and I'm from Austria, Europe. Currently I'm working on an Adobe Apollo project with some other guys. I hope to be able to settle to the US, because Austria is not really a good place to run a start-up...

theudude2002··on Tell YC: Summer 08 decisions out

to me most those pitches sound compelling: Straight forward, tackle a big problem and you know what they're trying to do in well, one line ;-)

theudude2002··on Who is your dream investor?

I don't look solely on trackrecords. Business is hard work but to some extent also luck. Hits in the past are no guaranty for future hits. Guy believes that entrepreneurs can change the world and make it a better place. Sounds quite naive but to me a vision is much more motivating than money and trackrecords.

That's how I found out about Y Combinator. Thanks Paul

theudude2002··on What do you think about Apollo?

Since I'm working on an Apollo/Flex business app, I'm just curios what you guys think about Adobes upcoming platform.

theudude2002··on Who is your dream investor?

My absolute favourite is Guy Kawasaki. He's a genius. Micheal Moritz and Paul Kedrosky also would be exciting to work with.

theudude2002··on The people who say Web 2.0 apps are garbage are completely right -- and utterly wrong

Micheal Mace says: "Participating in the blossoming of a new software platform is one of the most exciting things you can do in the tech industry."

I think he's true. That's why I'm gonna jump on Apollo.
