I dig the idea of a "layer" that just makes stuff easier to find without having to invest hours of work into a souped up Notion setup or something. Excited to see where this goes.

Thanks for sharing this. I love this quote, but I had not seen/heard it before.

I think about this a lot. The next edition actually addresses exactly this (in draft right now).

As I begin my career as a coach, one woman gave me some great advice: for every hour you read, spend at least an hour coaching. The experience matters—get your nose out of a book.

I struggle with how to balance these!

I did found Holloway, but I left the company a few months ago. I love reading, but no hidden agenda—I promise!

With most results above the fold being ads these days, this is a pretty tone deaf message to put out there.

Hello! Andy from Holloway here. Super sorry. I swear this isn't malicious, we must be sloppy with our list management. If you email me at andy@holloway.com I'll make sure we get you off the list for good.

Andy from Holloway here. Our equity comp. guide is 100% free.

We also have a Guide on Raising Venture Capital (340 pages). We made sure to include an entire chapter on "Assessing Whether to Raise," which includes sections on alternatives to VC and how VCs can control your company. If anyone on here wants to buy it, you can get a 25% discount on it using this link: https://www.holloway.com/rvc?vip_code=VIP25

Quick thanks for making the equity comp guide free! It's come at the perfect time for me. I'm also on the wait list for the tech recruiting guide and will be happily purchasing it when it's available. Great stuff you guys are doing!

You heard it first here: Technical Recruiting and Hiring is coming out November 19th =)

Facebook doesn't allow you to sign up unless you're 13 years old, and isn't in the 'kids' category of the App Store, so this is not applicable.

In the sense that Facebook is not allowed in the 'Kids Category,' sure.

I’m guessing that doesn’t count as ‘targeted at kids’.

Aw thank you! We're glad you found them helpful.

Thanks! Everything we publish at Holloway is built to be improved over time, so let us know if there's anything we missed so we can make this as helpful of a resource as possible!

What's the revenue model? You guys deserve to be compensated (richly) for the content; it's awesome. I'm just wondering how you folks make money.

What a lovely question. Top of mind for us, too. Our first Guide, on Equity Compensation, is entirely free. Think of it like our public sandbox. For now, we're thinking all future Guides will be available for purchase (one-time payment and you get digital access + updates). The first Guide we'll launch for purchase is The Holloway Guide to Raising Venture Capital (https://www.holloway.com/g/venture-capital/about), which we're hoping to have out in June. This post is an excerpt from that.

We'll also be posting more on our blog, like this post, to build up awareness of what we're up to. Our policy internally is that if we're going to post content to promote one of our products, though, it needs to be helpful to readers on its own. It can't just be content marketing junk to get you to click.

So, fingers crossed. We're making a bet on people being willing to pay for what we're creating!

You guys certainly have product market fit for the free articles (atleast using HN as a proxy) :)

Curious to see if the same reception is there for the paid content, especially given that the topics you cover have a lot of free articles and videos (e.g.: YC has an entire library of it).

Good luck!

How do you decide who is going to collaborate with you?

Is there a specific business model behind the company?

Hello! Andy Sparks, co-founder of Holloway here. Thank you for the positive words on the organization and menu. I'm trying to get a better idea of the issue you're running into, as it doesn't sound like something we intended to have happen. Would you mind sending me a screenshot or more detail at andy@holloway.com?
