"The eight years I worked on Gumroad were full of personal ups and downs. There were months where I worked 16 hours a day, but there were also some months where I worked four hours a week. Here’s one way to picture that time:
Can you tell which is which? I can’t."
Great read from the founder of #GumRoad on his personal ups and downs over the years
The more I work with startups and founders the more I get to understand the super power of structure and dumbing things down.
While inherently chaotic having to do the same things over and over again but in different ways is so resource intensive, it can be a nightmare. Structure frees up resources and pave the way for better results.
📣 Reaching out to the good folks of Mastodon. I'm on the look for a software developer and a data scientist/data processing role to fill, in my #startup Rubens Technologies. We develop #sensors and #MachineLearning analytics for fruit quality assessment before and after harvest.
At this stage they are on a causal/contracting basis, but we are growing.
Preferably based in #Australia, but happy to chat with anyone who's interested, anywhere in the world!

I have strong opinions about distribution of stakes in a #StartUp to co-founders.
Many times the scheme is so that one person considers themselves as the main #founder, and is looking for co-founders with smaller stakes. This is often rationalized by work or capital already put into the #venture idea, domain names and such.
The real reason is entitlement and greed.
Looking at a venture from above, from first principles, it doesn't matter who has put in more work in the past, what matters is the future. Having contributed a lot to the common pool means respect and gratitude, not privilege and commanding stake.
If all founders are titled co-founders and no one puts themself the first as the founder proper, it promotes equal commitment, engagement and fairness. Of course there are other critical aspects for a start-up success, but lacking in those will cause unnecessary trouble.
That trouble is fully unnecessary. Just divide equally and don't consider your contributions transactional but as contributing to the common venture in solidarity. No one in a start-up is a freeloader anyhow, you tend to make sure of that, and you most definitely do not want to codify in the stake distribution that some co-founders are more freeloaders than others.
You need equal stakes if you expect equal commitment, engagement and contribution in the future. An inequal distribution is a symptom of having a founder team where there is no trust, and this means failure.
Don't make an equal distribution of shares to a team you pretend to trust. Rather get a team you do trust and share equally with them. If you can't do that, it is good to fail fast.
A company spun-off from academic labs that designs and produces new chemicals with artificial intelligence and robotics, is raising $42.7 million in its first venture funding round.
LinkedIn is so broken. Today got a message from #startup founders who work on #biology to cure a disease if they could meet with me. As I don’t know anything about biology or medicine I asked “why me?” The answer: Sorry we didn’t check who you are, we just texted everyone in Munich who has angel #investor or #vc in their bio 🤷♂️
Swedish startup Modvion is building the world’s tallest wooden wind turbine.
The towers are made from laminated veneer lumber, produced by glueing several massive layers of wood together. The startup says the material has a higher strength per weight than steel and is 30% lighter.
The tower will stand 105 metres and is being built for local energy utility Varberg Energi for its wind power site near the town of Skara.
Around 60 million people in central and southern India use the Kannada language, but large language models like ChatGPT lack accurate and thorough datasets to learn it and other native mother tongues. One startup in India is trying to bring Kannada to AI tech companies and at the same time eradicate poverty by paying people from poor and marginalized communities a fair wage.
So I've recently been laid off and I'm seeking a new opportunity.
If your company is in need of a technically-astute marketing person, then you've found the right candidate!
I can handle any of technical troubleshooting, editing, long-copy, short-copy, segment/market/audience research, product design/feedback & community engagement.
Hi, we're a tech startup run by libertarian Silicon Valley tech bros.
We're not a newspaper, we're a content portal.
We're not a taxi service, we're a ride sharing app.
We're not a pay TV service, we're a streaming platform.
We're not a department store, we're an e-commerce marketplace.
We're not a financial services firm, we're crypto.
We're not a space agency, we're a group of visionaries who are totally going to Mars next year.
We're not a copywriting and graphic design agency, we're a large language model generative AI platform.
Oh sure, we compete against those established businesses. We basically provide the same goods and services.
But we're totally not those things. At least from a legal and PR standpoint.
And that means all the laws and regulations that have built up over the decades around those industries don't apply to us.
Things like consumer protections, privacy protections, minimum wage laws, local content requirements, safety regulations, environmental protections... They totally don't apply to us.
Even copyright laws — as long as we're talking about everyone else's intellectual property.
We're going to move fast and break things — and then externalise the costs of the things we break.
We've also raised several billion in VC funding, and we'll sell our products below cost — even give them away for free for a time — until we run our competition out of the market.
Once we have a near monopoly, we'll enshitify the hell out of our service and jack up prices.
You won't believe what you agreed to in our terms of service agreement.
We may also be secretly hoarding your personal information. We know who you are, we know where you work, we know where you live. But you can trust us.
By the time the regulators and the general public catch on to what we're doing, we will have well and truly moved on to our next grift.
By the way, don't forget to check out our latest innovation. It's the Uber of toothpaste!
Thanks for everyone’s concern! Truth be told I haven’t had a single day off since May!
Launching a #startup — from a war zone in #Ukraine ! — has been tough. We have all sorts of things to think about from safety and security to logistics to social media to marketing to legal.
This is all before we get to the journalism we need to do! Which requires planning, security, gear, and the toll that travel takes.
Progress on my startup (I'm president - yay!) A 27 second product video. The product is an online tool that gives an idiographic portrait of individuals (from their perspective) that helps a uni to do holistic advising from the moment they meet a sutdent, & helps students see how they fit (at university), improving retention
Hey #mastodon minds, I would like to discuss with you an old idea
Game Map with interactive panoramas, like Google Street View for 3d games
⭐ Let's think how it can be done, write in the comments
This could be an API for game developers to add a custom content creation mode to the game. Creating a routes where the camera will take pictures. And what to do with old games?
Finanzierung deutscher Start-ups bricht weiter ein
Ideen von Gründerinnen und Gründern werden dringend gebraucht, doch ist die wichtige Anschub-Finanzierung deutscher Start-ups weiter rückläufig. Dabei erhalten einige Bereiche durchaus Startkapital.
I’ve searched for accounts to follow using all these tags and found only very few, and none of the power users I follow on Twitter. There is still a wealth of knowledge on Twitter that #Mastodon does not offer yet. If you know anyone please recommend them so I can #follow
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.
Going Under is a roguelite dungeon crawler set in a late-stage capitalist hellscape and I am absolutely here for it.
I got almost 4 hours sleep on Thursday night, and woke up feeling pretty ragged.
When I got home from work I was down to one cylinder, and went grocery shopping, then came home ready to crash.
I figured I could knock 15 minutes of a game out and then write the review today.
Almost an hour and a half later I dragged myself to bed.
Dungeon crawlers are traditionally darkly-lit demon-infested horror-crawls, not brightly-lit, cartoonish, horror-crawls. The horror in Going Under comes from the biting satire of late-stage tech-startup capitalism in a VC-funded world, with nods to anyone who's worked in a knowledge worker / IT-related role.
The game starts with your first day as an -unpaid- intern (because of course it does), watching an introductory video about your new workplace, a recently acquired subsidiary ("Fizzer") of a multi-national conglomerate ("Cubicle").
You've been assigned to Fizzer by the company's AI (of course), and just as the video gets to the explanation of why no Cubicle employee should never enter the dungeons underneath the Fizzer office, your Project Manager boss assigns you to enter the dungeons underneath the Fizzer office to kill the "monsters" that are invading.
The dungeons themselves, and the monsters, are previously acquired start-ups, with names like "Joblin" (a gig worker app), and "Winkydink" (a dating app).
Between the roguelite elements and the quests to build up rep with your "mentors", Going Under really nails that "just one more run" feel.
