@prayrit7 @try_peppermint Did you want to give it a try? We can set you up with a demo if you want. It's all 100% free and private.

@bettercallsalva @try_peppermint With peppy it creates connections between all those sources. Your call transcript, your claude prompts which connect to those, the email you send after that. It looks at everything holistically so claude gets a deeper understanding of your context. Let me know if you want a demo.

@michaelpatron0 Had a lot of problems holding down relationships until I got a therapist that put me through a huge psycho analysis and told me exactly who I should date and you might be looking for the same person.

Half of the statements are wrong but they make me look so good that I’m not going to tell you which ones are true vs not true. Lol.

This man bet his life savings that 9-to-5 jobs would die by 2025.

Investors called him a delusional hippie and pulled their money.

Today, his "remote empire" makes $22 Million a year while he travels the world.

@andreasklinger Great to see the rebrand, I haven't seen a VC video like that basically ever. So cool!

[Amir Salihefendić @amix3k]

Todoist has made more than $100 million in total revenue, which isn't very interesting because many others have reached this number. What's interesting is that we did it in our unique way:

— Fully bootstrapped. Customers have supported us since the beginning, and we've used only our revenues to improve things further.
— Complete independence. Since we are customer-supported, no one tells us what we can or can't do.
— Remote-first. But not only remote-first, we've hired super talented people worldwide who never went to Ivy League schools or worked at Google. Many of the early people who joined Doist have seen a 10x increase in compensation as we've scaled Doist.
— Europe mixed with US mentality. We've achieved this by working 40-hour workweeks and taking 40 days of vacation per year. We only work on weekdays. The three-member CXO team has 8 kids, and we got them while we scaled Doist.

The most critical personal lesson I've learned is that you can do much more than you think. I came from a refugee background and started a real school in the 4th grade. Starting and running a tech company was not even plausible while growing up. But here we are! So start learning, growing, and building! You got this 😊🚀

Crazy to see how poor most of my VC funded friends are, literally scraping by

Meanwhile my bootstrapped friends are entering HNWI and UHNWI category now buying luxury yachts and mansions (not my thing but good for them)

10 years ago all of them were broke!

Founding a VC funded startup is usually 1-5% odds of success or less

When u do get successful you only keep 5-10% of equity usually (esp w/ cofounders which is usually reqd to even get VC funding!) but then 1/3rd goes tax so 2.5-5% of $100M-$1B so $2.5M to $50M

But u can get the low end of that $20M-$30M if you bootstrap solo properly for 10 years ($1-3M/y biz @ 5x and high margins and save money and invest in ETFs properly)

I think impt thing to note is that VCs have a big interest in manipulating public opinion in startup world to make founders think they need VCs and they have the money to spend on it with PR

Indie bootstrappers have no incentive to do that at all which is why you hear much less about indie founders in press and public opinion etc while it's a big part of the economy realistically as it's part of small and medium businesses (SMBs are 44% of US GDP!)

Anyone who has #humble in their twitter profile I would pretty much guarantee is not humble. Thoughts?

[Liam Martin @liamremote]

@amix3k It’s sad how they had such a huge head start and fell apart. Are they seriously saying slack will just shut down for a week?

[Liam Martin @liamremote]

@michaelpatron0 Break it down for us. I don’t know the Ecom game but Saas is basically get more customers, get them to pay you more and/or keep more of them. Every biz I talk to isn’t truly focused on one of those 3 directions.

@EspreeDevora Kid peed in her bed, very much up.
