@Jeyyderh @panework Next week is a new start for us. We're expecting a lot more deals to flow then.

@ryanatpane @panework Signed up few days ago and still haven’t received deals ^_^

@StartupArchive_ so basically use the largest growth function to service your subsets initially. growth function doesn't change over time.

Patrick Collison on what he wishes he did differently when scaling Stripe “I think one of the most pernicious mental models you can have is that you are on some growth curve… I think a much better mental model to have is that you’re serving some market, and then there’s the percentage of the market that you’re serving. And whatever percentage you are not serving, you just haven’t built the go-to-market functions and organization that’s brought the product to those market segments.” In the early days of Stripe, they assumed they were on some growth curve, but Patrick believes they could’ve accelerated their growth by viewing growth as a function of their go-to-market apparatus: “What we did not do, but what I wish we did, is six months after launch, we should’ve mapped out the concentric circles of our market.” As he suggests, Stripe should’ve started with very early stage startups then mapped out the larger set of all technical startups - not necessarily very early stage. Then continue this process in successive increments until they got to all companies handling online payments. Each step along the way, figuring out the size of each market, the fraction Stripe was currently serving, what it would take to serve more, and so on. And then work backwards from there: “What would the organization look like that was serving the entire market? Let’s just start building that organization, because the growth curve is under my control. Of course, it’s not 100% under your control, but I think it’s much more under your control than people tend to think.” Video source: @ycombinator (2018)

"why are you building pane?" over the last few years, i've talked to hundreds of businesses and projects in crypto who all share the same story: they found a KOL or marketer, made a verbal deal, sent payment, and got nothing in return. no delivery. ghosted. i've experienced this myself. it's not a rare thing. it's the norm. why not "just use fiverr or upwork?" they weren't built for crypto and they have zero guardrails for it. these platforms work great for traditional freelancing, just not for crypto. one thing's for certain: marketing talent in crypto will always be here. through bear markets, bull markets, every meta, every narrative rotation. someone is always hiring a KOL, someone is always doing a campaign. it's one of the only constants in this space. so we built Pane. to find talent in crypto without the risks. real KOLs, real track records, and every deal goes through verifiable escrow. talent gets paid when they deliver. businesses don't get scammed. simple. but more importantly, we see a much bigger picture here. crypto has a multi-trillion market cap and no real infrastructure for how businesses and talent actually work together. no reputation layer. no payment protection. no accountability. just verbal deals, and trust. in an industry built on trustlessness. that's a massive gap, and we think the team that fills it properly will win big. we might be wrong. this might not work out. but it's a bet we're happy to make because we've seen the problem up close, hundreds of times, and we know it's real.
