@freeagentglobal I sell ideas for a living. But then, I get to work with my friends, old and new, to manifest the ideas in reality through years of creative problem solving together. I do that for a living too. Both of these are the fun part.
@rocketrepreneur True story. But thereโs nothing like working in the factory with the customer to reveal the highest impact ways to improve the product in real time.
Forward Deployed Founder mode is living in CA while building in CO and operating in TX to enable recursive improvement loops on hardware/software products/services you invented, built, shipped, sold, and support.
Last night my team shipped the most important proposals in my companyโs life, after shaping the customer relationship for 3+ years. I think our Pwin is >75%. These are for the $11M+ ARR that was our target when we founded the company. I hope we win.
@somefoundersalt@heskelbalas We didn't want to. But VCs all passed so we had to go vertical. Now we have a $45K satellite (bus + instrument) and can afford to launch six by EOY. Worth it ๐
@JesseRank Really nice work! This fulfills many aspects of the original vision for the first Google Home device, which I spent 5 years helping to create. Unfortunately for me, the tech in 2016 could not get us here. You've done what I wanted to a decade ago but couldn't. Congrats :)
