@iamchrischi3 Second that!

@csteadone fyi

turning pro is by far the best, most resonating, and scariest book i‘ve read in my entire life.

Buena is expanding into banking. Reimagining how properties, homeowners & tenants bank in the future. If you want to shape this future and then roll it out to our 70.000+ customers, DM me.

At Buena, we studied our industry all the way back to 1754 BC and turned what we found into a multi-story exhibition in our offices. Seeing how property management has been an enabler of cities, progress, and capitalism across centuries is what drives us every day.

@DinBisevac one of my favorite activities: giving exhibition tours on Sundays

oh wow, this is what it must've feelt like behind the iron curtain. EU regulating itself to death.

i wonder what the impact of chatGPT is on management skills of the new generation. every high schooler seems to be learning how to give helpful, specific feedback based on work done.

yesterday germany celebrated 'reunification day' - which is a pity, because it could also be called 'end of communism in (western) europe day'. reminded me how little i sympathize with the first word of the german anthem: 'unity' -> if you want unity, you can only push for it with violence. if you treat it as just the outcome of another value (such as progress) then one should focus on that other value.

This is what Europeans are willing to sacrifice on the alter for their eco calve: Their sleep, their productivity, their learning, and their life. Fits well with the other forms of suicidal societal tendencies flourishing in much of the old world today, sadly.

4chan is suing the UK government over their speech laws. The opening is quite something.

@crislenta has to be brutto, net pay depends not on the employer but on the employee's individual situation

@csteadone 500 euro extra is smart! netto or brutto?

Three weeks ago we announced our $58M fundraise. What we didn’t say: We’re still only 23 full-time people in the HQ org. How do we get stuff done with such a small team? Proximity is one factor: We pay employees €6,000 more per year to live near the headquarters. Why? Because we believe in showing, not just saying, that in-office culture matters. “Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome.” So, we built the incentive: every employee at our HQ gets an extra 500€ every month if they live within walking distance. It leads to more spontaneous conversations, stronger collaboration, and hours of commuting saved every week. Because let’s be honest: commuting feels like work, but it’s not. Sitting at your desk beats sitting in traffic. Strong culture requires strong signals. This is one of ours. When we introduced this 6% of employees lived within walking distance, now it’s more than 30%.

Kardashev scaling far exceeds Decel projections

@louis030195 @fdotinc @seedclubvc exciting! i still remember when this was just an early idea. crazy speed of execution!

We raised $2.8M to bring AI hands to every Windows desktop. Backed by: @fdotinc., Top Harvest Capital, @seedclubvc, LG Technology Ventures. The global economy runs on legacy Windows software with no APIs. AI is exponentially smarter but can't operate in this environment because it has no hands. Mediar gives AI its hands. Today we're announcing we closed a $2.8M pre-seed round at a $40M valuation to turn any high-volume manual workflow into an API and automate the world economy. We've already deployed an AI agent that: - Watches users work - Compiles automations autonomously - Achieves 95% success rate and <20s latency within 1 day - Scales across hundreds of desktops If you've seen ChatGPT agents, Claude's Computer, or Google's Project Marin, think of Mediar as that, but 1000x faster and more reliable, designed for high-frequency, high-reliability execution. If you want to cut costs by 90% on repetitive work without relying on brittle RPA dinosaurs, visit mediar[dot]ai.

@lukaivanovic excited to hit the next milestones with you!!
