@TaraViswanathan Strong one - like how you frame it by "creating your work". Instincts of ruthless prioritization help here

What's it called when you give someone unlimited access to your network for intros for fundraising, bizdev or whatever

The network equivalent of mi casa es tu casa

@SLP_EDU So excited how the major tech companies are moving towards skill-based hiring to solve their talent shortages.... sure its out of necessity but its moving the right way

will take a while to hit blue collar workers though

Contrary to product/company building I think you should start with a very biased hypothesis on a product / future of the world you want to build - After all you dont wanna build unexciting stuff

But then, still validate or disprove the hypothesis with your users and let their excitement take you to a magical place of *unique market insights*. If you interview 200+ potential users you'd be crazy not to distill any problems worth solving

[Lukas Macner @LukasMacner]

@VitalizeVC Just do as you would in 8th grade science class 🧪

Have a hypothesis and find data (do user research) to prove or disprove your hypothesis.

@peer_rich But what about a Juicero? 🤷‍♀️

@RaphaelMinder @FT Great stuff - Any reason why the top FT1000 are mostly solar?

@jantegze Not sure if cold outreach but talked to a Recruiter this week and mentioned that they do 200 Robo AI calls a day and convert well their clients that way. Also an approach that seems so bad but yet could be so ingenious if executed correctly?

[Lukas Macner @LukasMacner]

@SaidHaschemi Still the same theme when the partner asks you for the minutes.... "Sit tight, I'm gonna need you to keep time Come on, just snap, snap, snap your fingers for me"

🩻 Diagnosing problems correctly is the biggest skill one can have in tech - The best PMs, Salespeople, Marketers, CFOs all have this common trait

After 2 yrs in a "hyped" industry it feels so good to be building in a more old school, boring industry again...

big ole TAM and bunch of Digitalisation needing to happen - LFG 🚀

@peer_rich @andreasklinger Founders talk so highly of him... they literally got his back

WeWork is an incredible product. Not many people say it, but it's their superpower - a space to build uninterrupted

[Lukas Macner @LukasMacner]

@multiplay3r That person is me - been "working" on it for 1.5 years 🪦 Would be up for testing it
