the best part of the co-working sessions we do at @hsrhackerhouse are
- 70% of the folks are people who've come before
- 20% of the folks are referrals
- 10% are new folks who're coming for the first time
retention & word of mouth <3

@hardeep_gambhir You’re in Bangalore! Nice. I love the cafes there
English

walked into a cafe in Bangalore today and this is what I saw different people doing:
1. a dude watching Karpathy's lectures.
2. 4 uncles talking about software + hardware + marketing.
3. a girl reading Albert Camus and her (assumingly) boyfriend showing her the thinnest iPad promo on Apple's website.
4. two dudes working on making a hiring assignment for infra devs to hire in their startup.
5. like 2-3 people with their IDE open
6. a girl treating a wall-sided table as a standing desk with her laptop in a laptop stand
7. a dude with a yubikey plugged into his macbook
BLR is so for real SF vibes it is crazy.

This past weekend, we threw an epic retreat for 25 @USC builders, artists, filmmakers, and more to work on anything that isn’t school.
This is what it looked like: people building with opencv, making iOS apps, 360° videos, scriptwriting, etc

@JorgenHalien @_joincasa A lot of thoughts in there but first, how to apply for the one happening this year?
English

I HIT 50k FOLLOWERS!🎉 8 weeks ago I had 0 followers and my first post did 215 views, now I’m averaging 2m views per post.
I want to share all my insights on how I got here so you can have the same growth. Whether you want to grow your business or build your own personal brand, I gotchu.
I created a 3 page doc with my own 9 steps of how i got to where I am, some secret algorithm hacks and examples for you to apply.
But can you do me a favor 🙏🏽 comment “🎉🎉🎉” so the algorithm will push this post, then I'll DM you the doc.
Why?
Because I need your help, I’m trying to reach potential investors with this post :) doing cold outreach is difficult! So I really appreciate your support.
Here's my message to investors:
“Hi I'm Eugene Yao. I have ADHD, I think outside the box and I'm building a productivity tool that will help millions with their mental health. I'm based in SF and raising our pre-seed in February, feel free to say hi in my DMs”

English

@JorgenHalien @_joincasa build something in need of speeding up first. you can raise money for any size of business. doesn't have to be vc money.
English

@amit_ajwani @_joincasa i don't need-need investors. it could just speed things up
English

@PrinceManayBora @_joincasa that's a solid for-profit argument. however, it it's non-profit it can still have ownership in a different way, just by being the guy leading it
English
