The main learning I took away from growing from 20 to 250ish employees, 1 product to multi-product and 1 geo to multi-country: As a startup, your speed of execution is a function o…

Ahrefs is the winner for me - it's not cheap but it's very good. If you're budget friendly I'd look at With Telescope dot com. It's PAYG and very cheap, though not as good as Ahref…

ChatGPT but not for the good It's made me very lazy with my thinking and writing.

I don't think it's possible, but a fun problem to solve... You could probably build something to ping their number an iMessage. If it sends as an SMS they probably don't have an iP…

I think it depends on the company you're applying for: Disclose it to companies who have programs to support people with disabilities Don't disclose it to companies who don't have …

I've used a few: - Cognito: bad - Clerk: ok for small scale applications but they're a small company 'moving fast and breaking things'. It's not stable enough for a enterprise grad…

There are so many better Auth providers out there now - and some of them are free for the first 10k or so users (workOs has the first 1M users free!)

It's because doing two or three careers spreads your focus...you'll learn at fraction of the speed and progress slowly. Fine at the start of your career, but specialisation wins ou…

Thank you for those kind words - I'm really glad it was helpful advice. > It's targeted towards lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, etc. Do you think LinkedIn is a good chann…

Are you going to launch it on PH? Joking aside, I really think you need a unique angle and a solid distribution strategy: there are 1,000 PH clones but they don't stick because the…

My co-founder and I have been bootstrapping two products since the start of the year. 1 of them is in market, got early traction and growing slowly organically but, given a lot mor…

We've been reaching potential customers on LinkedIn, asking them for 15 mins to give feedback on our 'product idea' (at this point is just a sales deck). Some tactical advice is to…

Damn, I missed the webinar! Any chance it was recorded? Thanks for the info above Anthony - it must have been an interesting project to work on. I'll reach out on email
