my main theory for why atlassian products look and behave the way they do is because the people responsible for them are twenty minutes away from places like this

One of my favorite interviews from last year was discussing the evolution of edtech with Tom

@MatthewRDoan @mngardon @JamesClear @blakeaburge @TMitrosilis @davidfano Thank you for the kind gift! Already started using it!

[Sar Haribhakti @sarthakgh]

When co-creating content with employers to help candidates understand what a job is like, the challenge is to balance access with customization to expand reach + usefulness

@BrunskillTom tells me they have created a "career awareness" metric for that https://t.co/Ua1ZZk9Icd

[Mercedes Bent @mercebent]

You *need* to know founder Tom Brunskill if you’re interested in #career mobility - he’s an expert
@BrunskillTom

Great interview by Sar. A few gems:

“The recruitment process is broken. Rather than ‘hire then train,’ employers should use a ‘train then hire’ model.”

[Sar Haribhakti @sarthakgh]

This is the best investigative chat I have done so far

I’m quite into the intersection of ideas at play here & have studied the market evolution deeply. Tom’s clinical in his thinking and I enjoyed nerding out! It’s a content biz that happens to help people get the right jobs!

[Tom Brunskill @BrunskillTom]

@oye_dipo @theforage_ @sarthakgh @lolanataliee Thanks @oye_dipo!

[Tom Brunskill @BrunskillTom]

I haven’t come across an outsider to @theforage_ who has picked up the essence of what we’re building so quickly. The challenges, nuances, tensions and opportunity - all of it. Loved working on this with @sarthakgh

[Sar Haribhakti @sarthakgh]

[New Post] My most comprehensive chat so far

I have been following this Australian company for while now. Enjoyed investigating this multi-layered business that sits at the intersection of multiple trends & product approaches.

I talked to @BrunskillTom https://t.co/Ua1ZZk9Icd

[Albert Bielinko - Partner, Folklore Ventures @bielinko]

Nothing like customer testimonials to show your company is really adding value. Couldn't be more excited to see that @Telstra's open access cyber security course on @theforage_ is getting even more usage than expected. https://t.co/472hkKnUNu

[Tom Brunskill @BrunskillTom]

Building a start-up is hard. But we’ve been exceptionally fortunate at @theforage_ to have had the oppt to learn from @ataussig, @mercebent & the @lightspeedvp team during this journey. Excited for other founders to get the chance to work with this exceptional team.

[Alex Taussig @ataussig]

1/ A few comments on @Lightspeedvp's new $7B+ global fund family (our 14th), which we announced today.
