We just secured our first institutional investment from a VC with a huge consumer media arm Yes we should celebrate the wins, but I'm very wary of current startup culture overly idolises capital raises to the neglect of things that really matter Participating on/off with the venture world since 2017, I've seen how much of a trap it is to be complacent with the means (fundraising, publicity, awards) rather than the end that ensures success (revenue, customer love) So we're not resting until we become the wearable of choice for 150m+ runners & cyclists worldwide Back to building :)

@Jo_Minimis @guzmanygomez genuinely insane, gyg is literally dog food

I might be banned from re-entering the US for saying this but I think Australian Mexican chain @guzmanygomez tastes better than any of the Mexican food I had in the US

GOAT, miss him playing for us everyday 😭

We speaking with several - mostly inbound following Blueprint Festival. Closing institutional round by thanksgiving. DM me if want in

We just released a documentary with a robotics company that makes companions for eldery people. Unlike all the other robot companies, they've built 'Abi' into something thats colourful, has a personality and people genuinely love talking to. Excited for Andromeda to take over the world.

@AnnieLiao_2000 yes pls

'making the world a better place (with AI)' new merch drop - reply / repost if you want one :)

@Jo_Minimis genuinely so curious, heard for the first time a few weeks ago

@ European founders Why y'all call angel investors 'business angels'?

Hi I’m Jo I almost crashed while cycling because I was looking down at my mounted phone for directions I also hated carrying multiple devices while running So I quit my 6-fig legal career and invested everything I had into building Minimis Flow Standalone fitness-tracking sports sunglasses with a heart rate monitor and eSIM See your stats, navigate, make calls without looking down or carrying anything else We're building a future where runners & cyclists can move safer and lighter If this appeals to you, come try it out, event in comments

@Jo_Minimis 100%

Revenue per employee (RPE) is the ultimate flex metric Funds raised, press coverage, waitlist numbers, celebrity endorsements, followers etc are all means to that end People who think they're better than others because they've got those things without superb RPE are ngmi eventually Because when the dust settles, someone down the line is getting fucked Too many times it's the poor retail investor
