Yesterday, we hosted an in-person Demo Day at Filoli Gardens and 13 companies pitched to a packed room. We were thrilled to be back in person after so long with this impressive cohort of founders. We'll be sharing these pitches out virtually early next week, so stay tuned! 🍐✨

@zebriez One thing that helped me was to set up an cost per hour for time, even if a modest one. That liberates you to pay for more services that will save you time.

the worst part of starting a company, by far, is the endless slog of rote tasks & administrivia. it was making me *miserable* on a daily basis and keeping me from the work I love. so, I started giving myself a daily bullshit allowance of 45min and I am much happier now.

Homomorphic encryption means that servers do not have to decrypt your data to operate on it. For example, you can have all your information on Google servers, and search it like now, but no one at Google or no government agency can ever see any of it.

The emerging and niche field of homomorphic encryption will transform technology in the next century for the better. Feels like free-lunch, era-starting magic.

@Illeto I mean, if the hand of God was going to reach out and tip an election, I feel like "invisible rays from outer space" would be a pretty good way to do it

@shreyas Say “No” and deliberately make some customers unhappy - signs of a real strategy; trade-offs are defensible.

As a new entrant, the opposites of your most formidable competitors’ strategies tend to be pretty good strategies to consider for yourself. The trick here is to correctly discern their strategies & creatively explore how the opposite might resonate with certain customer segments.

@lennysan @shreyas The knowledge is there and it’s deep. But you two know how much time it takes to publish great content. The best PMF finders / founders are maniacal and don’t have the time. So, currently the main medium for teaching is founder to founder coaching. Great for a podcast.

@lennysan @shreyas Especially true when it comes to the pre-PMF best practices. Most published product thinking is by and directing at people who are at companies well after finding PMF. Simple cause- that’s where not only most product people work, but where branding is essential for career success

I've tried to resist, but @HarryStebbings finally convinced me I need to do a podcast. God help me. Still in early planning, but here's a logo concept 👇
