Would you be willing to share how much you acquired the pizza business for?
was not a cash deal. We paid x% royalty out of revenues for a year and gave the founder a small piece of our new co

Very interesting. Would you also share how does one discover such opportunities? I presume there's no marketplace for these things. Do you have to be in the industry and rely mainly on network connections or are there other means?

-we're creating multiple brands -each with their own identity. The common thread is premium. Target customers are restricted to those in a 10km radius of a kitchen. Aim is to build customer wallet share by understanding our set of consumers well and serving food to them across different food missions - meal to go , family meal, light meal, cheat meal. Efficiency comes as we consolidate the supply chain and infra at s…
Not the guy you are replying too, but the strategy does seem to have parallels to D Mart growth strategy vs Big Bazaar(Future Retail) .

I’d flip it (rather tongue and cheek) and say that it’s you that doesn’t appreciate market places. And here’s why. Saying eBay (your listed comp) that can sell (almost) anything, in almost every jurisdiction with probably minimal config change, at different $ values (you can buy a server on eBay), w/ both consumer and SMB sellers, and like importantly preceded this idea and implementation by a solid (guess) 15 years…
Thanks for your thoughts - you cover a lot of land:) I sense a bit of apples and bananas here comparing a newly started vs super incumbents (that were once small too in markets that likely didnt make sense for everyone at the time:)) We think the skin markets deserve something similar to Coinbase for crypto -> a place where I can trade with full confidence, it's easy to use and has what I am looking for. Again, thank…
If anything the “manual” feel of the minors onboarding looks so much like AirBnb, etc, you have to wonder if the company is sort of bound to succeed due to start.
Good luck on your ramp!
Is there a to email/contact you privately? I have a case study that’s very very close in big famous investor funded adjacent market that went sideways due a tiny detail; it’s public but would be more considerate to talk 1 on 1.

Our main value adds is that we can allow minors to trade safely. You have to be 18 at Skinbaron. Another is that Skinbaron charges over 20 percent total.
And what would prevent us from accepting minors as our clients or lowering our commission? Both would be possible with the push of a button and some changes in our TOS. We probably won't do either and there are reasons for that. Just trying to dismiss this point. Interesting discussion overall...greetings from Hannes (CEO SkinBaron GmbH)
Hi HN, we are Bruno and Guilherme of Jestor ( https://jestor.com/ ). We make a no-code tool for COOs that need to scale complex offline operations such as hospitals, hotels and kitchens. At our previous company, a software development business, most of our clients asked us to build in-house tools like an "easy to use Salesforce" or a "lighter SAP" that would reflect their internal processes. They were tired of paying…
Nice idea...actually it will help many companies to transform their business process.
We are building Titipku ( https://titipku.com/ ) which is "Instacart" for local markets in Indonesia, where we help households to buy daily groceries from nearby local markets in their residence areas. The Covid 19 has made people unable to buy their daily needs from local markets, meanwhile merchants in local markets are also suffering and need help to sell their goods. We solved this by helping to on board all merc…
Also what's your policy on non-halal groceries in the app? One of the things that put me off was seeing pork and alcohol on the front page, which implies it might get mixed with halal deliveries. Titipku implies that it buys "anything".

How do you differ from retool?
How do you differ from Airtable?
We've built the product for hundreds of simultaneous users. There are 3 features that enable it: 1. Connect any table. You aren't limited by Workspaces. 2. Advanced Permissioning Tools. You can do it at the variable level, creating unlimited number of profiles. 3. Unlimited number of records, tables, dashboards, automations and users. They will consume actions, but there is no real limitation.

The main difference is scalability. Jestor is useful for companies once they grow, when tools for teams aren't suitable anymore. We've built the product for hundreds of simultaneous users.

Performance is extremely important. I say that because we use Jestor every day here, and if it's a bit slow we immediately try to understand why and how to make it faster. About templates, did you use it straight from the website or by installing into an account? I'm asking so I can check with the team and solve it asap!
I was installing it from the website just by clicking on the template. The installation was not what bothered me but the overall responsiveness and loading time. I’m based in Berlin, might have been the roundtrip time.
