[Encore @withencore]

We stand with the WGA as they strike to bring fair pay, better protections, and a brighter future to screenwriters everywhere

We built Links to make it simple & secure for you to share your business, payment, and tax information with someone. Today, we’re releasing the beta ↓

Links are built around permissioned access.

Because your privacy is important, and your payment information shouldn't live in somebody's inbox.

[Dennis Stevens @dennisstevens_]

I've been tweeting a lot about the development around Links, but in the background, we've also been lining up some incredible partnerships for distribution.

We're going to make a bold statement.

Closing out the week with a big win at @withencore

We've officially shipped Links into alpha!

Let the testing begin 🥳

[Dennis Stevens @dennisstevens_]

Rebuilding the @withencore landing page over the next week ahead of our upcoming launch for Links.

Thought I'd throw up a simple page with our manifesto in the meantime as a placeholder.

[Dennis Stevens @dennisstevens_]

First tweeted about this idea 15 days ago. Shipping V1 into alpha in another week or two. I couldn't be more excited for what our team will build this year!

As we've seen with Southwest Airlines, outdated technology can have disastrous consequences. But there's another meltdown in the works that you might not be aware of - Hollywood's financial infrastructure is a ticking time bomb.

Let's talk about it 🎥:

Ever wonder why classic Hollywood films have such predictable storylines?

The Production Code, also known as the Hays Code shaped the films of Hollywood for nearly 40 years and dictated what could and couldn't be shown on the silver screen.

Here's a quick primer 🎥:

Not a one-person company, but AI (specifically GPT-3) has been a huge force multiplier for us at @withencore as we build around the complex workflows that exist in the film and television industry. Excited to share more soon on the functionality we're building with AI.

Kicked off the week brainstorming with Jeferson (one of our engineers) on what we could ship to make make our customer's lives easier when it comes to this.

Excited for the idea we came up with.

[Dennis Stevens @dennisstevens_]

It's been an exciting few weeks at @withencore and I am thrilled to share today that John Scholz & Tyler Goldberg of JET Management have joined our advisory board!

[Dennis Stevens @dennisstevens_]

Building the operating system for Hollywood will be no easy feat, but with partners like Cecilia Owens, we're one step closer.

Thrilled to share that actor & founder Oliver Trevena invested in Encore this past week.

We're building @withencore for actors like Oliver, and we couldn't be more excited by his conviction around our product, team, and mission.

It will be an exciting journey!

[Dennis Stevens @dennisstevens_]

We quietly pivoted a few months back. It's working.

So here's a thread on why we're so excited to build the operating system for Hollywood's next Golden Age:

Let's dive in 👇

For creators, tracking data from platforms and keeping your distributed teams in the loop can be a nightmare.

The more you grow, the harder it becomes.

That's why we're so excited to solve this at @withencore with a new product we're calling Dispatch:

1/ I'm excited to announce @withencore

Encore is the cash flow management platform for creators looking to build, run, and scale their business professionally.
