@HarryStebbings Exit Founders make great LPs, great LPs fund great VCs, great VCs fund the right type of founders, the right type of founders build generational companies.

It’s the cycle of money.

Problem is, where’s European Exit Founder’s money?

@anders_thuesen Nice,
Might need something like that, we should talk.

@abinavmoto @temple Thanks for the heads up, learned about them a few days ago.

I’ll keep the name for now though :)

1/8 - I spent the past month working on a new Hardware start-up idea, amazed by the new capabilities of Astra and Opus 5.5.

Here's what's still super hard about hardware.

@glgrau But it’s fun!

@wizardofid I’m actually also exploring that with the RC01 ring from eIot.
Works well to start but you won’t build a strong brand that way + some capabilities still need a custom design.

[Antoine Nys @antoinenys_]

@_almostclarity Ok I’ll check it out

[Antoine Nys @antoinenys_]

@optim_express Getting ratioed by my own post

[Antoine Nys @antoinenys_]

@_almostclarity Thank you for the advice, can you elaborate?
And for HeyPCB I’ve checked it but it does not work for extremely small and complex hybrid flex PCBs like smartrings

@DavidStalmarck @Julius48024685 @Atech_dev Love what you guys are doing, let’s go Atech

[Antoine Nys @antoinenys_]

@DavidStalmarck Thanks @DavidStalmarck ! Let me know if you guys want to preorder a few for the team!

I’ll send you sizing kits, prototype rings so you can help shape the product and you’ll be in the first batch once the actual design leaves the factory 👌

8/8 - It's still super fun

What excites me is how far you can go without any engineering background before raising money or hiring a team.

The learning curve is steep, but you can move extremely fast compared to before AI.

7/8 - Distribution is harder, and less forgiving

Molds and MOQs require a serious investment before you’ve shipped anything. You need to build demand early enough to justify that commitment.
