@Suhail @MightyApp @Suhail seems like you put a lot of effort in understanding your customer. How are you tracking customer feedback and conversations, and turning those into requirements?

[Bram Krommenhoek @BramKrom]

Whoops - @tferriss that is, with the @TimFerrissShow

[Bram Krommenhoek @BramKrom]

@eldsjal You mentioned in @timferiss podcast that "You can’t find a single company with the exception of SAP in the technology space that’s worth more than 100B that comes from Europe" - but what about ASML, Prosus, Siemens? ½

[Bram Krommenhoek @BramKrom]

+ there are 18 others 'non-tech' with current marcap of >100B (Nestle, LVMH, Roche, Novartis, L'Oréal, Novo Nordis, Accenture)- outside of the 'tech' space. Why do you put the emphasis on tech in this case?

[Bram Krommenhoek @BramKrom]

@jasonnochlin Hey Jason, saw this really old post of you on HN (https://t.co/CVZsWbTxl4) Was wondering whether you'd solved that, and how. Would love to hear! Bram

[Bram Krommenhoek @BramKrom]

What do the fastest growing business all share?

A product people love. No wonder that's @ycombinator's mantra.

But what does that mean? And how do you do it?

Read that, in my latest piece.

"Don’t get fooled thinking raising lots of money will save you, or having lots of customers will save you. Over 90% of startups die. Statistically speaking, yours will too.

Yes, @mikeee!

By the age of 93, Picasso had made 50,000 pieces.

That's 833 per year for 60 years straight.
That's 69 per month for 60 years straight.
That's more than 2 per day EACH DAY for 60 years straight.

Curious how?

I quit my #startup journey, and here's what I learned.

Let me know what you think!

[Bram Krommenhoek @BramKrom]

As an early-stage #startup, there are 6 things you want to learn. 1) What benefits you bring your customer, 2) How to connect with them, 3) How long it will take to close a deal, 4) How easy it is to use your solution, 5) How to improve it and 6) What people are willing to pay.
