Thank you @hellotushy for finding a cost effective solution to the global deficit in bidets.

For those of you who do not know, a bidet is a receptacle designed to be sat upon.

Prevalent in Italy where I grew up, yet France, UK, Germany do not seem to believe in its necessity.

I had the worst pitch meeting with a VC: @madelinelawren

She said no to our pre-seed, “you’re wearing the jerseys, but you're not a team yet”

Anyways, she’s now officially our CGO and late co-founder

@zfellows_ @zachpogrob Good reminder not to follow the herd for fear of being ostracised.

Exceptional individuals do follow conventions for the sake of it and find most norms to be irrational.

@zfellows_ If compounding is important it also means starting early is. Founders who start their entrepreneurial journey in their teens / early 20s are likelier to benefit from the multiplier effect of their efforts if they stick at it long enough.

The Founder’s Dilemma by Noam Wasserman

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

1️⃣ Lower opportunity cost means higher appetite for high risk project.

With no responsibilities and lower levels of income, young founders have less to loose by embarking on entrepreneurial experimentation.

Anyone down to build?

@madelinelawren Depends on the language. In English you would never use 24 hours.

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

@madelinelawren Yay

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

@YongSooChung Depends on how good your book is

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

@filipistyping I get it

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

@themattmic Short attention span

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

@themattmic They might not be mutually exclusive, in fact there might be 0 trade-offs between the two.

I’d argue that if you attempt to make the world a better place, you are enjoying that world a lot more rather than if you just consume it

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

@madelinelawren Who’s paying for it

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

@connor_beem Lowest form of salesmanship

[Sebastien Michaud @vc_seb]

@themattmic 90% of people can’t read?
