Congrats on your success as an entrepreneur. 13 years means you did well at it. Speaking from experience, I won't sugar coat it, you're not hireable. 13 years as a startup CTO/CEO …

WWDC is coming up and there are a ton of rumors around an OpenAI + Apple partnership. OpenAI is in hot water with the whole ScarJo episode. Apple also recently tripped up with it's…

I question how useful "jarvis" would be for most people (including me). I was in the fortunate position to have a supremely talented admin/chief of staff a couple years ago when I …

I'm both an apple and openai fanboy. I love apple because great design, software and privacy. I think openai's rate of innovation is unbelievable. But a partnership makes me nervou…

We tried the office hours. It was my most dreaded meeting of the week. Others on the team shared the sentiment. The biggest issue is, it was at an inconvenient time for everyone. N…

Here are two hard earned lessons from my experience fundraising. 1. If an investor isn't interested, cut bait. It's usually clear in the first 15 minutes. No follow-up with argumen…

No doubt there is a learning/awk hump like any tool. At first it was like why do I have to listen to this 4 minute voicemail. Yikes. But now it's like ok, listening to this 4 min m…

Two things differentiate it from regular chat for us. One is it's mobile. They have a web product, but we don't use it, we just use the mobile, so we talk into it as opposed to typ…

Yeah. There is a lot of that. My faves were someone coming by with a random thought that they needed to think through with someone. Almost nothing ever came of it, but the rabbit h…

Community of users applies to b2b as well. It could just be followers on linkedin where you get engagement from your ideal customer profile buyer. VCs looks for signal that you/tea…

Sure. So if you say can I call you about X/Y/Z, you're asking them to stop what they are doing and listen to your monologue in real time. With the walkie talkie, you hit talk and s…

https://www.airwave.us/ Their website is now focused on technicians with a copilot for manuals, but they started as a pure voice/text push to talk / walkie talkie app

we use jam for quick video recording. loom for explanations of how to do things.

in my experience, nothing beats in-person for creative discussions.

The interrupt is where walkie talkie really shines. Instead of asking to bother someone, where they now may feel obliged to engage, you just walkie talkie them with what you want t…

first time founders that have large followings in the community they are building for are the most fundable. Reason being, your first product or iteration will fail, but if you hav…

The hard part about remote is collaboration outside of meetings is hard. Chat is soul-less and leads to a lot of misunderstandings with tone. Video is too formal. Phone is interrup…

In my experience founders that have raised vc regard them as bankers. Founders who haven't successfully raised (for whatever reason) and people that dream about being founders post…

I'm sure the churn rate is pretty high. But slack supposedly had ~5M users and ~$300M in revenue when it was bought by Salesforce for $27B

7M users * $4 / user / month * 12 Months / Year = $338M ARR. Not interesting for Facebook.

Its been 58 days since launch. Other than the initial first time/week mostly wow reviews, I haven't seen continued chatter about usage.

Not sarcastic but you're probably right in terms of no real legal course. But here's the thing, you're getting fired anyway. Depending on company size, they may give you something …

I believe the responsibility falls on you to moderate yourself (not some organization like govt to set rules for everyone). But I know it's hard. Time limits on iPhone were not eno…

Get some documentation that proves this. Hire a lawyer. Go to HR. Get a settlement...

We're a totally unknown site that just got hit with an OTP attack. There was minimal damage for us as it just ate through our Twilio credit. My question is why do people do this? W…
