The one-stop-shop for managing disability care and rehab from home

[Andrew Akib @AndrewAkib]

We made a bet that by enabling people to manage their own care at home, it would have a flow on effect to disability service providers. We're seeing that pay off.

Australia has an opportunity to be the birthplace of truly client-centered care. Who's on board? @hireupaustralia

@heyelaha We started as a B2C SaaS in the disability tech space (to prove the value) but have pivoted to a hybrid b2b2c (for scale) Happy to chat about it !

[Andrew Akib @AndrewAkib]

@heyelaha There's definitely a longer snowball effect before hitting sustainable growth in pure B2C SaaS. Small population means we need to think global early on or leverage B2B partnerships to be attractive to Aus investors.

@maxmarchione It's morning chaos that really sets my day off right

@annie_parker @iaccelerate @siligongvalley @bigyahu @liubinskas @Murray @Mikenicholls88 @DanBrockwell still in the gong?

@mycoolspicer @tashjamieson @calebmaru Because bands were the original startups prove me wrong

This Twitter/@elonmusk deal for $44B came together faster than many pre-seed startups trying to raise their first $500K.

Aaaand I've made my first Twitter typo

You're can't be disruptive if you're not willing to piss some people off.

An amazing 12 weeks. We learned a lot, built an amazing community, 5X'd our growth, and now we're raising a pre-seed. It hurt but we're alive!

@DanBrockwell ... Zelensky. Which I'm sure is still debatable.

[Dylan Alcott @DylanAlcott]

Woke up this morning feeling very blessed to be disabled - I reckon my parents are pretty happy about it too.

Feeling sorry for us and our families doesn’t help. Treating us equally, and giving us the choice and control over our own lives does

Why don’t para-athletes get equal pay? Serious question. Don’t see any commercials or promotion of their stars and their sports. Are they less worthy?

When did Copywriting get rebranded as "UX Writing"?

Did copywriting hit a career hump and take a General Assembly course? When is writing not about a user's experience? Was it an SEO thing?

I have so many questions.

@WorldOfMarkyD Yes sure but those people can burn in hell

[Andrew Akib @AndrewAkib]

@liubinskas That up until a certain point, many startup conferences and summits are indistinguishable from pyramid schemes

@emilylrich Don't mind me - here to benefit off the recommendations 🍿

[Andrew Akib @AndrewAkib]

Massive shout out to @BillAulet and @EshipMIT - the @24StepsofEship handbook has kept us safe, sane, and afloat on our journey towards MVP. Highly recommended to anyone on their venture journey.
