Coffee #2 for me was with T Guthrie, co-founder of WhyHive , a platform that makes data visualisation super easy. They just raised a $600K pre-seed round and one big takeaway I got from the conversation was how valuable smart investors are. (Investors that bring mentorship/ network/ distribution, not just 💰). WhyHive has an epic cap table with Aussie startup royalty on it and I asked T, what added value they got from having each of them. Alex Zaccaria, CEO of Linktree helped WhyHive optimise their time to value. I experienced this first hand being able to visualise Mayfly Ventures' marketing data within 45 seconds of starting the sign-up process. Dominic Pym, CEO of Up helped craft the platform's interface, a key concept Dom imparted was to mimic a common interface so there is a sense of familiarity from the first time you use the platform. Jon W., co-founder of Culture Amp got deep with the WhyHive team, to help them be in the right mindset as they tackle the highs and lows of the founder journey. The ask: WhyHive are aiming to get 1000 users by next Monday, so sign up. T Guthrie, how many users are we at now?

🚀 Diving into SEO this past week!

Results take time and continuous effort. Each lesson has been a stepping stone in understanding the massive world of SEO. Grateful for every challenge and insight along this journey! #SEO #DigitalMarketing #LearningJourney #ContentIsKing #UserExperience #Analytics #ArkeoAI

I'm crazy, but my team is Insane. 1 am, this message pops and when I turned to look, it was Kaarthik Jaganathan He was working on a course that we plan to give to our users, at the very first stage of their journey. This course is only for understanding a problem statement. We already have about 50mins of content live, yet wanted to add more value and go deeper to get more content. Here we are at 1100+ slides, our Excel course is shorter than this. When everyone in the team works and executes like this. Then there's no stopping the value that we add to our users. #buildinginpublic #data #kulturehire #startup

This is Doordash's application video to Y Combinator in 2013. The idea for the company was birthed when these four friends realized that restaurants in Palo Alto wanted to offer delivery to their customers and these customers also wanted this feature, but there was essentially no product on the market that provided an effective way to do this. They set out to build what would become DoorDash. As of the making of the application video, they knew they had a good product that solved a real and frequent problem, and this was validated in substantial acquisition of early adopters. All they needed to do was to gradually improve on the product by incorporating valuable user feedback into it. The company has since gone on to become one of the most successful startups in the United States. The story of Doordash serves as a reminder that big things always start small. As long as you've identified a valid problem, and you are skilled and committed enough to offer a suitable solution that iteratively solves the problem and provides value for the user, you'll eventually create a compelling success story. #ycombinator #doordash #makesomethingpeoplewant

KPI Media spent the last 3.5 years advising startups and helping them scale to millions in revenue. But that's all we could do, advise. We’ve never actually built a tech startup from the ground up, and this will change that. Today marks day 0 of our brand new SaaS venture - our Beta launch 🚀 StockLibrary.ai helps users generate extremely realistic stock photos with AI. Think Midjourney level image quality, without the complexity of knowing how to prompt. Oh yeah, and did I mention that it's free? No, this is not an April Fool's Day joke - it’s actually happening. To prove it, here's a sped-up product demo video that we shared with the testers earlier today 😅 The development took months of hard work, so a massive shoutout to these legends for turning our vision into reality Novicto Herlistianto, Muhammad Rafli, Shehan Weheragoda, and Melissa Sutanto 🙌 And a huge thank you to our ten shortlisted Beta testers, Audrey Chia 🚀, Fiona Tan, Nigel Giam, Ships Lim, Jhon Morada, Matthew Manimbo, Aryton Soliano, Guadalupe Lazaro, Bryan Tay, Mohammed Raziq. Applications for our Beta test are closed, but do join our waitlist and you'll be the first to know as soon as we launch - we'll also throw in 10 free credits for everyone who joins the waitlist. 🔗 Waitlist link in the comments below #betalaunch #productlaunch #saas #aitools
