Companies who elevate their people will dominate in talent attractions and retention
In the last 12 months I've spoken to 1,500+ companies about their plans for remote work in 2021
Here are a few 'request for startup ideas' based on what I've heard
[ a thread ] 💻🏠🌍
Companies who elevate their people will dominate in talent attractions and retention
No-code tools that enable workers to build bots that automate menial parts of their roles will be huge
Teams will be rewarded as they progress and contribute more frequently due to faster feedback loops
Companies are looking for products that help workers avoid this by taking care of themselves better & being more mindful
An engaged internal community will be the strongest moat any company can build for retention, and the most important sign of company health will be how this internal community projects outwards
It comes with all the amenities needed, like high-quality coffee, and has on-demand fitness equipment like @onepeloton bikes
Companies will pay for this for their teams
Companies will begin to provide a setup that ensures people are as safe and comfortable at home as they were in an office
Vertical products that do one thing, operating around a constraint that enables greater focus, will dominate 2021
Way to measure this more effectively are desperately needed
Tech that lets you consume and input via these modes will arise and interface with every tool you use via an API
They will allow teams to set priority to comms and batch deliver things that are less important when their teammate isn't doing deep focussed work
Tools that enable asynchronous work are the most important thing globally remote teams need
Fractional ownership of their company over salary will become an option
Companies will provide these to teams which enable individuals to develop with world-class tutoring
Several $Billion Startups to emerge this way
It will be the most critical. Until that’s solved remote teams won’t be able to scale globally easily
Remote workers who have an area of expertise and one of these broad skills will be the most sought after talent
Services that let companies provide them while enabling workers to personalize to their preference will explode to prominence

Reading this article, the story sounds pretty wild. But I spent a weird amount of time with Martin Shkreli, and I’m not surprised the journalist fell in love w him
A few years back my team built an app called Blab. It was like clubhouse before clubhouse.
When he first joined the app I had no idea who he was. I just saw that his live streams instantly had 3-4K viewers. More than anyone on our tiny platform.
I googled him and it came up: “Martin Shkreli, most hated man in America”
I assumed he was bad news
And he was... but also he wasn’t.
He was a douchebag, but he was in on the joke. He was a dick, but he was also very entertaining.
In the mornings he would live stream himself analyzing stocks or walking through drug discovery pathways.
In the afternoon he’d let people call in and debate him live on air. A CNN reporter tried to get him to go on TV, he refused, and said debate me here on Blab, no edits, no tv time limits.
At night he’d host late night convos - and eventually fall asleep on cam
The guy was a pain in the ass but man he drove traffic.
We had big celebs like Tony Robbins, the Jonas brothers etc... he outperformed them all.
At one point he was bringing in 100k users per month directly to his channel. And Bc he was so entertaining, they stuck.

Christie Smythe covered white-collar crime for Bloomberg News and lived "the perfect little Brooklyn life" with her husband. Then she threw it all away for one of her sources: infamous pharma bro Martin Shkreli. https://t.co/Xk0zXmYkgF
