My potential investor reaaalllyyy wants to sleep with me.
Hopefully I can post this here. I have one potential investor for my start up whom I know personally. He’s been a colleague of mine for 2 years and somewhat of a mentor. I know the man’s KIDS for gods sake. As stereotypical as this is, he is one of the senior directors of a very large and famous tech company and I wo...

Paul Graham's "Startups in 13 sentences" summary
Paul Graham wrote an essay in 2009, "Startups in 13 sentences" Its filled with nuggets of startup wisdom like: "It's better to make a few people really happy than to make a lot of people semi-happy." A summary of an already short-essay: ## 1. Pick good cofounders. Cofounders are for a startup what location is for ...

{Seeking Advice} We became a FULLY remote team a week ago. Any remote peeps here?? Looking for absolute must-have software tools. Please help😬
Hey guys! We're a team of 17 who recently decided to go fully remote. So far everyone seems to be loving the flexibility and convenience, however, as the founder and CEO of the company, I'm always worrying that things might become too "casual" and how that can affect overall performance. That led me down a rabbit hole...

Off my Chest: Design/UX should be the forefront of a start-up, Engineering led Products are subpar.
I gotta get this off my chest, and I'm sure I'll piss some people off in the process. Stop putting engineers in charge of startup product planning. Would you put a carpenter in charge of planning your house? Of course not, that's what design architects are for. Part of the problem is engineers and investors think a ...

Want to be the non-technical co-founder and not just an idea guy? Here is a list of some of your responsibilities.
I am the non-technical co-founder and the "idea guy" of our SAAS startup (2 x co-founders). We are doing this as a side project currently. I have seen many posts and comments about "idea guys", so I thought I would write up a list of all the work I have picked up over the course of the past year to ensure my co-founde...

Y Combinator alum just shared some super helpful info on how startups can automate their business processes like large companies do (but without the associated costs)
**The blog was a little heavy and pretty dense at some parts so I thought it would be helpful to summarize what they said here.** --- The full post is linked below. The company was Konsus, a YC alum. They mention that the main reason startups shy away from automation is that they assume that they don't have enough...
