About forstmeier

I'm a senior engineer and the first hire at Shipyard. On nights and weekends I'm building Pocket Size Fund as a side project. I've made several angel investments and plan on making more. In my spare time I enjoy reading and lifting.

I'm pro-West, pro-growth, and pro-human.

I can be reached via DM: https://twitter.com/forstmeier

    The focus on revenue is definitely a paradigm shift for the current environment. It's part of my hypothesis behind Automated Capital ( http://automated.capital/ ).

    Could something like Automated Capital, a experimental side project I'm working on, reduce the turnaround for the initial due dilligence? http://automated.capital/

    Yeah lol he's not going to be 100% perfect. There are definitely improvements that could be made in the request parameters being sent to the OpenAI API but I think the actual train…
