How much emphasis do VCs put on the team?

Well, we're looking to get funding in a few months, and we just want to know what VCs look for in a team, and if they really put that much emphasis on the team instead of the idea or product.

Does the lean startup apply to physical product startups too?

Hi, I am thinking about building using the Raspberry Pi as the basis of my startup. Maybe even contracting a factory in China to help me modify the existing solution. In terms of hardware stuff, does the lean startup apply as well?

What is the hottest industry on the internet now?

Last year it was Pinterest, and there is an explosion of social media plugin/connect. This year or the years moving forward, what is the trend? It almost feels like innovation is at a halt, and we're now only seeing new startups coming out not solving problems but just making existing solutions easier. 

Obviously, there is the Google Glass and their self-driving cars, but what else?

Is e-learning big?

Buying an existing website instead of building it from ground up

Theoretically maybe it's possible to buy a website that already has good traffic and then keep buliding on top of it.

Has anyone had experience with this? I am thinking maybe just purchasing a movie review website or a movie trailer website and then build it off from there.

What's the difference between a LLC and an S-corporation?

It's common knowledge that either the llc or the s-corporation are the better company incorporation options. Which one is better really?

Are online learning/education the next big thing?

I was talking about this with some of my buddies the other day, and we were discussing whether online education will become a major force in the internet world.

I personally think e-learning will just get bigger because nowadays there's so much knowledge on the internet, many top universities are all making an effort to build their online presence. 
Whare are you thoughts?

Any guides to measure key metrics from MixPanel?

I think I have the basic conversion and retention metrics down.  Just wondering if there's a more comprehensive guide on what and how to measure.

I don't know if I should charge?

We're in our MVP phase, and I've read in the guide that we should charge if we are buliding a SaaS (software as a service). We are afraid that if we charge, then people won't use our service anymore. It's a dilemma.
