"Venture-funded startups rarely have an honest layoff. They’d rather throw their own people under the bus. Their first instinct is to hide that anything is wrong. They’ll fire 20 percent of their people 'for performance' before they admit that they’re in trouble."

@AlexCrimi isn’t the more important question: What to look for in a co-founder?
To be honest, I’m not so sure a co-founder should be treated like a romantic partner. I’ve had many co-founders, all great people, but no startup felt like a “love relationship” to me.

When it comes to user research I personally consider “Could you imagine changing your behavior?” questions to be very weak signals when it comes to predicting user behavior. Many people imagine themselves to be smart and rational. The truth is we are creatures of habit and changing peoples behavior is one of the hardest things to do.
Instead I’d be looking for signs that people are already actively trying to change and focus on this user group.

(allow me another moment of unapologetic self-promotion. I'm excited about this!)
Oops, I did it again!
Invented a game,
to help you talk good.
(With apologies to Ms. Spears. 😎)
I figured if I could create a card game (or "tabletop facilitation and training tool") to assist CISOs and other infosec executives in communicating their cyber risks, doing the same for marketing should be just as easy.
It took five years, but I hold in my hands the prototype for my new MessageDeck workshop tool, a system of 150 cards with prompts and techniques to help your team get to the bottom of your first-principles messaging and begin nailing your marketing.
🤖 Looking to help your technical team be a little more ... human?
🚀 Need to accelerate how your marketing agency supports clients?
🤓 Just looking to be a nerd that talks good?
That's why I built the MessageDeck. Coming soon, but here's a sneak peek.
Want more? Drop me a DM. I'll be setting up early access workshops for an exclusive set of hand-selected teams (perfect for founders and small tech teams).

Don't rely on EU funds as a Startup. The reality of the EIC, Europe's largest, is months to years of delays for payments.

Looking for some founders of #startups that are NOT cis white males willing to answer a few questions about a small side-project I’m working on. Who should I reach out to?
One of the hardest things to get right in business is the effort-to-results ratio.
Often we get stuck in a business that requires a high amount of effort for minimal results.
It’s tempting to “stick with it” (because the business is generating some revenue).
But invariably, these businesses fall apart, because the effort can’t be sustained (and the return on investment never improves).

And how many clever #Startups did we see that loudly claimed they'd soon launch the Killer #SocialMedia platform?
Only to bitterly fail after a while.
#Fediverse went super slowly in how it emerged. It took years. But these years were needed to get a great #culture between fedizens around the world come about.
All the while #FOSS principles and values drove software development, and with no monetary incentives, the human side was kept within focus while doing so. We're human-scale.
I've been asked why I consider #StartUps making small #apps on top of #OpenAI #APIs a distraction. Well, here goes:
First of all, there's no unfair advantage. Someone easily builds an open source clone which makes exactly the same thing. There is no way these businesses can become profitable before becoming redundant.
Also, let's appreciate the fact that we will get #AGI in months. That is important, and business plans should be evaluated against that.
Think where you will be in that new world. It doesn't matter if you have a small app which calls OpenAI API, that's all obsolete instantly. It doesn't even matter if you have a stable stream of revenue, that will almost certainly dry up.
Things that matter are:
- Who you have in your trusted circle (who you trust, who trust you, who have capacity to see, understand and act fast and correctly);
- what capacity you have to utilize or support AGI for (#industrial, #medical, #military, #scientific, #social, #chips, #power, #internet connectivity, #data, ...);
- what #compute you have available under your own control, not rented (we will have a sudden scarcity of compute at the start, and all cloud rents will go sky high);
- will you have the latest models or not? They won't be published, to get such you need to be in the "game".
This is more important than the internet and the electricity combined. Put your money where it matters, not into gold and derivatives. Remember what "capital" is.
You probably know me from my account at octodon.social. Otherwise, my bio is right there on my profile. Short version, I’m a former journalist who’s into tech, world and national politics, current affairs, and science fiction.
I lived in Melbourne for ten years, in Singapore for three, now I’m based in Jakarta. My field of interest is quite broad, so you’ll see me post mostly about those topics and sometimes other stuff too, like jokes. I boost jokes I like, especially dad jokes, so beware.
I set up this profile with a view that I might migrate over here sooner or later because this instance runs Akkoma, which has practically all of the features that I’m looking for that many have asked for inclusion of in Mastodon.
I just imported my follow list for a trial run. Longer post here because apparently I can only pin two posts.
