1/ I'm insanely excited to announce what I've been working on for the last year:

Teamflow, a virtual office that makes you feel like a team again. Coming out of stealth and announcing our $3.9M seed round today 🎉🎉🎉

 2/ @getTeamflow lets you see your video in an office where your team can hang out.

You can move yourself around, and only hear and see people around you.

So when you want to chat with someone, you can just drag yourself over and say hi — no more juggling with Zoom links
3/ You can also open apps in the space, like Figma, Trello or Google Docs.

Everybody can see and use them together — so you can meet around your sprint board in the morning for standup.
4/ You can customize and furnish meeting rooms, which persist — so you can create:
- one room for a project launch, with tasks, metrics dashboard…
- one room for each 1:1 with your meeting notes
- one game room with a bunch of online games
[- one room to bring them all…]
5/ I actually had this idea when my team at Uber had to go remote, and I felt both camaraderie and productivity fall off a cliff.

We had an outage one day. Not my 1st, but remote made this one especially painful — jumping from Zoom to Zoom to coordinate ops, marketing, eng…
6/ I sat back on my seat exhausted at the end of the day, turned around, saw a team having beers right next to me, and realized what we'd been missing. That was in 2018.

Fast forward 2 years, Covid hit, and the entire world is feeling the same pain.
7/ The data is showing this everywhere. Engineers are less productive. Remote workers say they miss face-to-face interactions and the easiness of working together in person.
8/ And on the flip side, there's a mountain of research showing that teams are happier, more engaged, more productive when they can meet in person. https://t.co/BLukQApXav
9/ After 50,000 hours of meetings on Teamflow's private beta, we think we can make remote work not just as good, but better than in-person.

Users are raving about us — we receive this kind of message every single day. Our latest NPS is 67 (compared to Zoom's 21 per @usefyi)
10/ We brought together a world-class team to build this, honestly the best I've ever worked with — the creator of the world's biggest 2D WebGL library describes 2 of our engineers as "some of the best I have ever worked with" https://t.co/ao5qA8wB8Z
11/ Today, we're coming out of stealth, announcing our $3.9M seed, and opening our waitlist — you can sign up at https://t.co/CZeV8rqR0y

I'll see you at the office! :)

1/ Pro Tip: Best way to find a job at a startup…

Hint: it doesn’t start with a job board…

a thread

2/ Go to @crunchbase and set up a filter for the following:

1. Amount raised: $5M - $10M
2. Announced on: today - 3 days ago
3. Headquarters location: your preference
4. Investor Name: @Accel, @Greycroftvc, @Sequoia, @a16z etc...

It should look something like this.


3/ When a company raises money… they are going to use the capital to build out their team.

It isn’t rocket science!

4/ When successful venture firms with track records like, @Accel, @Greycroftvc, @Sequoia, @a16z sink money into a startup. Their chance of success increases astronomically.

5/ Filtering for recent fundraising allows you to get a pulse for when a company is going to add positions to their job board (if they haven’t already)

Becoming a creator in 2023 will change your life.

Here are 13 tips to make the switch from a consumer to a creator:

Set a Daily “Make Something” Goal

Grab a sticky note and write “make something today"--stick it to your computer monitor.

Your goal is simply to make something--anything--every single day.

Set the bar low and make it achievable.

Creation will start to become a habit.

Document What You Make

Start documenting your daily creation.

Post it online with a few sentences about what it means to you.

Was it an idea floating around in your head for months? A mini essay you've been meaning to write? Code that you finally figured out?

Document it.

Decide Before You Start

Too often I sit down at my computer and wonder what I should work on. That’s dangerous.

The Trick: Decide what you are going to do beforehand.

Write a to do list beforehand, then immediately jump into that first task.

Remove the guesswork.

Separate Creation & Consumption

Computers are for creating, not consuming.

Go to all your social sites and sign out. Set up your computer as your creation hub.

Use your phone or tablet for consumption.

One device is used for creating, the other for consuming.

Well what a year - a thread!😅

I can still remember the exact moment lockdown was announced, and my whole business was instantly teetering over the edge of a cliff...

#GoodBye2020 #Hello2021


The turning point was a rather emotional social media post, where I laid myself bare and basically had a bit of a public meltdown. Within minutes, two really important things happened that changed everything...

Firstly, on-line orders started arriving, which took the business in a new direction, and showed me there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Secondly, and just as importantly, messages started flying in from people in similar or worse positions than me and that was the trigger (kick up the backside) I needed to drive things forward.

The fact these people had messaged me, irrespective of their own troubles, was so humbling and inspiring - and I haven’t looked back since.

How to make a $10k/mon agency in less than 3 months

Thread:

The easiest way to start an online business is to make a service-based agency.

Let's get right into it.

1. You need to have some skills.

VALUE THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE TO YOUR CLIENTS SO THEY PAY YOU EVERY MONTH.

YOU NEED TO TARGET RETAINER BASED SERVICES TO GET TO $10k/mon fast.

Now, what can you charge a retainer for?

Not web design.
Not logo design/branding.

Try to sell a service which they need every month.

- Lead generation
- Email Marketing
- High ticket sales
- Cold email

Choose one and watch 25 hours of content about it on youtube dot com

Then buy a good course if you can

MARKET RESEARCH:

Don't sell anything to anyone

SEE WHAT'S WORKING

Cold email 50 people asking for a call
Pay 3 of them $20/hr and get to know all their pain points and problems

RT-PCR corona (test) scam

Symptomatic people are tested for one and only one respiratory virus. This means that other acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


2/12

It is tested exquisitely with a hypersensitive non-specific RT-PCR test / Ct >35 (>30 is nonsense, >35 is madness), without considering Ct and clinical context. This means that more acute respiratory infections are reclassified as


3/12

The Drosten RT-PCR test is fabricated in a way that each country and laboratory perform it differently at too high Ct and that the high rate of false positives increases massively due to cross-reaction with other (corona) viruses in the "flu


4/12

Even asymptomatic, previously called healthy, people are tested (en masse) in this way, although there is no epidemiologically relevant asymptomatic transmission. This means that even healthy people are declared as COVID


5/12

Deaths within 28 days after a positive RT-PCR test from whatever cause are designated as deaths WITH COVID. This means that other causes of death are reclassified as

Krugman is, of course, right about this. BUT, note that universities can do a lot to revitalize declining and rural regions.

3)Word of Mouth Oral tradition in #Mohyal_Brahmin families since ancient times has kept the Great Saga of their Great Elder known to them as Maharaja “ #Puru” alive.

4) When #Alexander the Great invaded India in 326 BC he was challenged near Taxila by a mere chieftain of the Area. He was King #Porus, a #Vaid_Mohyal. After his encounter with Porus, Alexander met with more resistance near Multan where the forces were predominantly #Mohyal.

5)The Bali rulers of Multan fiercely engaged with Alexander's army in skirmishes in which many senior Generals died. Later during the long and bitter fighting in #Multan, Alexander got hurt by an arrow which pierced his chest ,
