Applications will start to be accepted around March of 2010. Keep on the lookout for details!

Bryan Menell replied on September 15, 2009 03:10 to the question "Patent Searches for Startup Technologies" in Capital Factory:

We didn't have this need for any of the companies in our 2009 class, but I'm sure Wilson Sonsini could help out in some way, and if needed we could find a generous partner for 2010 who could help out in the IP arena.

Thinking about 2010 already. I like that!

Bryan Menell started following the idea "Let me add attachments to outbound emails (compose, reply, forward)" in OtherInbox.

Bryan Menell shared an idea in OtherInbox on July 12, 2009 17:22:

Send "Mailbox Does Not Exist" on Blocked Mailboxes

It would be great to have a "Reject Always" flag on a blocked mailbox, so that instead of continuing to accumulate messages, it sends a "message undeliverable", or "mailbox does not exist" message back to the sender.

Bryan Menell reported a problem in OtherInbox on July 12, 2009 17:19:

Block Mailbox Causes Loss of Scroll Bar

If you block a mailbox, you lose the scrollbar in the message list of all other mailboxes (FF 3.0.11). Refresh fixed it.

I think it has to do with the code that drops down the green bar that says block successful, but that's just a guess.

Bryan Menell replied on July 10, 2009 16:19 to the problem "Delete is behaving very strangely." in OtherInbox:

The problem you described where the property gets marked deleted, but the message doesn't actually get deleted -- I can reproduce that on all my mailboxes.

The tab name / "loading...." flashing problem continues forever, but after refreshing the browser, I can't reproduce it. If I can get it reproducable in the future, I'll let you know. Thanks!

Bryan Menell reported a problem in OtherInbox on July 10, 2009 14:38:

Delete is behaving very strangely.

If I select a range of message and press delete, it sometimes doesn't work at all. Right now selecting a range of 5 messages is causing something on the page to re-load again and again. The title of my tab is flashing and alternating between the tab name and "loading..." rather quickly. Many more times than just the 5 I might expect for those 5 messages. I am using Firefox 3.0.11.

I wish I could be more help in trying to figure out what it might be doing.

Bryan Menell replied on April 10, 2009 14:40 to the question "Successful submission transparency" in Capital Factory:

It's hard enough to provide thoughtful review of so many applications, let alone to provide written feedback. It's purely just a volume problem. We will be providing this kind of feedback to those that make it to the interview process. Either way it never means to not follow your dream, it just might not be the right fit for Capital Factory.

Bryan Menell replied on April 09, 2009 19:00 to the question "Successful submission transparency" in Capital Factory:

We covered this on the website here: http://www.capitalfactory.com/details...

Bryan Menell replied on April 08, 2009 17:49 to the question "confirmation" in Capital Factory:

If you submitted in the system and Google said thanks for your submission, then we received it. Some people weren't sure, and submitted twice. In which case we used the last application. I remember your company specifically Joe, so we did receive your application.

Bryan Menell replied on April 08, 2009 17:47 to the question "Timeline for notifications?" in Capital Factory:

We will let people know as early as we can if they're not in the running. Until the final names are announced, there is always hope. With only a week left till our self-imposed deadline of April15th, we feel that's a pretty reasonable timetable to be fair to our applicants.

Bryan Menell replied on April 06, 2009 21:40 to the question "Is it too late to apply for this program?" in Capital Factory:

Sorry but the application deadline has passed. We hope to run the program again next year, and application deadlines will be similar.

Bryan Menell replied on April 04, 2009 05:12 to the question "Was my application received?" in Capital Factory:

Yes, I see it.

Bryan Menell replied on April 01, 2009 02:46 to the question "$20,000 total or is it distributed?" in Capital Factory:

It will be some amount up to $20,000 depending upon the number of founders and the capital requirements of the company. We have some applicants that don't need the money, but want the mentorship and the program benefits. The actual amount will be on the offer letter.

Bryan Menell replied on March 31, 2009 16:02 to the question "Which form should we submit?" in Capital Factory:

Angelsoft was limiting people to 450 characters in certain key questions, and we couldn't change that. The only application you should be able to access right now is the application that links to Google.

Bryan Menell replied on March 26, 2009 01:27 to the idea "Location" in Capital Factory:

Good idea! How could we make such an oversight? Just for the record, it's in Austin, Texas but we'll make that clear on the home page.

Bryan Menell replied on March 26, 2009 01:25 to the question "are you accepting additional mentor applications?" in Capital Factory:

Not at this time, but we may for next year. Please keep in touch!

Bryan Menell replied on March 26, 2009 01:22 to the question "If I cannot make a video presentation, will I be penalized?" in Capital Factory:

We're not looking for production quality video. Find a friend with a video camera, and create a video of the founders talking for 5 minutes about themselves, why they are starting the business, and what gets them excited about it. Then throw it up on YouTube.

The blog will be active during the 10-week program to document the experience. All important information right now is on the website, or Facebook, or here! Thanks for asking!
