The Zero to Agent hackathon was so sick. Met the most incredible people and also bumped into @ChihYang04 the goat who’s doing incredible stuff at .hw. Londonmaxxing starts here. Open sourcing a project i genuinely think will be helpful, dropping tmrw. Thank you @oscarfalll@vercel
only a few days left until the @v0 zero to agent hackathon in London!
I just published a new site with everything you need to know about the hack 👀
we're nearly at 200 signups!! sign up quick to confirm your spot 👇
A bit late to the party but the London founders trip with AME everything . New horizons unlocked. @zmzlois@Lantos1618 and everyone else we meet you guys are the goats!
I built my own accelerator os and open sourced it.
It feels like a lot of roles can already be turned into engineering projects. Building the system that automates the task is way more fun than doing the task.
It's not just time saved. It let's me expand the scope of my role massively. I can be more hands on with founders, more time shipping, and can take bigger swings.
I've managed to automate massive parts of my job, all aggregated into one system: invoicing, funding deployment, startup tracking (revenue, GitHub, traffic), and a leaderboard that flows funding to whoever's doing the most. (and much more)
Example: when I started, processing invoices + funding was ~12 manual steps across 3-4 apps. ~20 min per startup.
Now it's one click per startup to push the whole batch to Xero and I spend my time shipping instead.
What I've built is heavily tailored to how I run Accelerate ME, but I think it could be useful for people to fork and write their own tailored "accelerator operating systems." (repo in replies)
Another huge advantage of building everything in one system is that you can start designing your APIs for agents. Soon the job has no admin. Endless possibilities here, super fun project.
Spoke to Joel, the CRO of @fixr_co, today. Joel was incredibly insightful and helped me see the directions we should pursue to fulfill our mission, which is "Build for the betterment of students." FYI for my 6 followers, Redefine Me will be transitioning, and we will be closing ticketing soon!
@fixr_co We would really love to meet Nick, Joel, Sarah, and Rachel while we are in London as student founders visiting @Revolut and @join_ef. Could we please make this happen? 15 minutes after 5 pm on Monday or Wednesday. Just a chat about the crazy growth of Fixr and ways you guys achieved it.
Building in Public:
- We signed contracts for 3 major balls in our University to be ticketed through Redefine Me
- We are so close to ticketing functionality going live
- Launched ads again after Meta banned an account (I remember having the same problem when I was running a real estate ad agency at 16 smh)
- We clarified our complaint with the Student Union
- We are reaching out to student union execs because we want to build the new management tool customised to the Manchester SU
