@PIPELINEorg @PlanetaryTal @FlagshipKansas To shoot for the stars, you first have to build a launch pad. 🌠

While you're building it, people may look at what you're doing and say, "That doesn't look like a rocket."

Stay focused on building what you need and don't let yourself get distracted. 🚀

Last week was one I'll remember for a long time.

I completed @PIPELINEorg Module 2, attended the Innovators Gala in KC, and had the honor of seeing @planetarytal awarded Kansas Tech Startup of the Year by @FlagshipKansas

🧵 Here are four takeaways that stuck with me:

@PIPELINEorg @PlanetaryTal @FlagshipKansas 4. Keep building. People will notice eventually.

For the last two years, the @planetarytal team has spent countless hours building, testing, and learning. Much of that work happened quietly. Building something meaningful often looks unimpressive until suddenly it doesn't.

[Jacob (J.C.) Hardt @jc_hardt]

Two years ago we were three people and a wild idea at @Groover_Labs.

One year ago we told the world what we were building. This year we are honored with Kansas Tech Startup of the Year.

It's been a wild ride so far, and we are just getting started...

Whoever designed this needs to be fired immediately:

This is why we do what we do: match the perfect person to the perfect role.

@andyantiles_ You can do the same thing by just buying a short term rental instead. Then she can keep cookin’ as well

Says logo designers are cooked. Shows not a single example of an AI brand using his prompts. 😅

Last year we tried telling VCs this exact premise and why we were building at @planetarytal but they couldn’t wrap their minds around it. This is the future.
