Years ago my two co-workers at StackAdapt did half-Ironman, which greatly inspired me. This year, I finally achieved a milestone of my own by completing my first Olympic Triathlon. During my preparation, I went online seeking advice for enhancing running speed and endurance, I stumbled upon a video featuring a runner.
This is the 7th year I’ve written on my birthday. Every year the format of my birthday article changes, and this year is no exception. In the past, I've focused on lessons learned, but this year I will just share things that are on my mind.
A few weeks ago, after almost a decade of pitching, the tables turned, and I was on the other side of a pitch competition – judging the founders sharing their ideas. Eight companies gave presentations, and I’ve decided to provide unified feedback to all of them in the form of this article.
PMF is not guaranteed. Many companies (or shall I say, most startup companies) never find it.
This is a second installment of the story of all random, silly, funny, failed business ideas I had before I finally co-founded the one that worked. Read Part 1 here.
If you are anything like me, you probably have 5 tubs of vitamins hanging out in your cupboard, many of which expired years ago. No matter how often I am told that taking vitamins is good for my long term health, it is just too easy to forget to take them. Why? There are simply no immediate consequences for my not taking them.
On the other hand, if one is suffering from jetlag, the flu, a wild night… no one forgets to cure their splitting headache with an ibuprofen. Unlike vitamins, painkillers are more than “nice to have”, they are an urgent necessity.
Thank you for stopping by!
I hope you learned something new. If you want to get updated next time I post content, you can follow me on LinkedIn here.
Cheers!
