Currently building @Routegy. Previously founded @AppThwack. Wasting time on this hellsite.

QR codes turning out to be useful has to be the greatest upset of all time

@micah This applies much more broadly, too. That being brave part is Really. Fucking. Hard.

PIE Demo Day 2021 will be fully virtual, 🆓, and open to the public. (You do not have to be an accredited investor to attend.) If you're in Portland, Oregon, or interested in what's happening in the #pdx startup community, we would love to have you join us.

Here's how 👇 🧵

"America’s endless gun debate ... is not driven by a focus on what actually works to save lives. It rarely includes the voices of the majority of the victims... It is not just biased; it is actively harmful and racist. And it will never make us safer."

@dtboyd Anarchist Jurisdiction sounds pretty badass tbh. Maybe just keep the title and ditch the threat of withholding funds.

The only reason I was able to get off the ground the first time around was my wife's salary and health benefits and the fact that we didn't have kids yet. We still barely made it. And how many people have that luxury?

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

It seems next to impossible to finance a purchase, refinance a mortgage, etc., if you do not have income due to, say, being in the early pre-revenue/pre-funding stages of building a company, regardless of financial holdings. Anyone else experienced this?

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

And let's not forget about health insurance. I'm incredibly lucky to have the privilege to grin and bear it, but these reqs discourage entrepreneurship for anyone but the rich and privileged and encourage early funding vs. healthy bootstrapping. Am I missing something?

Add touchless interactions to anything, anywhere - @routegy https://t.co/zSoBztq53e

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

Continuing our mission to make anything and everything interactive, we've added menus, ordering, and payments to the list of things you can do with Routegy touchpoints. As always, no app required.

"Businesses need to design a seamless customer experience for providing feedback...If you're going to ask for their help to improve your business, don't punish them for it. Make it quick, convenient, and timely."

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

We've been plugging Routegy into all sorts of physical interactions and connecting to various tools and services. Here's a post where a traditional check-in/waitlist flow is replaced with an app-less, touchless, contactless solution.

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

People are used to face-to-face interactions when they need something. Introducing technology into the equation is going to complicate things, especially at first. So what should we consider to minimize the impact, increase safety and comfort, and ease folks into this new world?

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

Seems like just yesterday I was a deer-in-the-headlights-first-time-founder and PIE was instrumental in helping me be less deer-y. I encourage anyone on the fence to apply.

[Rick Turoczy @turoczy]

Been thinking about applying to @piepdx? Awesome. Applications will open on July 13. We're excited to hear more about what you're working on, be it software, hardware, or consumer products. In addition to 7/13, Here are some other key dates to keep in mind https://t.co/AasIm7V29S

Nearly every curbside pickup experience I've had has been mediocre or downright poor.

[Dylan Boyd @dtboyd]

See how to navigate the new challenges of running a restaurant during a pandemic. Learn how Orenji Sushi & Noodles use @Routegy to streamline contactless curbside pickup, keep customers and employees safe, and how you can do it, too.

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

If you'd like to learn more about how you or someone you know can implement touchless, contactless experiences w/o the need for apps or accounts, DMs are open.

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

Super excited to see what we've been working on helping people out in the real world.

[Trent Peterson @tdpeterson]

When we began working on Routegy, we believed interactions that empower people to use their own devices without apps, accounts, and shared devices was the future. We had no idea how necessary that would become…
