Boom.
@focusmate has hit 100 @Trustpilot reviews, with this beauty coming in earlier today ๐ฅ
Thanks to all of you who have contributed to this amazing community and helped spread the good word!
Capitalism isn't the problem.
People (with no scruples) are the problem.
Case in point:
@ImpossibleFoods coming for my friend @joelrunyon 's brand @ImpossibleHQ (even though Joel's biz has been around much longer).
Capitalism is 100% compatible with human decency.
For the last 3.5 years โ the fake meat giant @impossiblefoods has been suing my company @impossiblehq (est 2010) trying to cancel our trademarks.
After their first attempt was thrown out, they doubled down & now are suing me (personally) as well.
Here's what's going on ๐๐ผ
stoked for my guy @andreasklinger 's fund rebrand to Prototype Capital.
great investor, great advisor, great human.
proud to have him in our corner at @focusmate .
๐จ Hey folks I got something to announce:
I am launching a new investment fund brand:
Prototype Capital ๐ฆพ
A globally-active first-check investment fund.
We focus on cool stuff that's technical hard to achieve, but also still new enough to be a bit weird โ globally.
Think Robotics in Eastern Europe, AI in SF, Software remotely, OpenSource SaaS, Space-tech in India, Reindustrialization of Europe, AI Agents in Brazil, among many othersโฆ
- $100k-$200k
- we say we invest early and we actually mean it
- with every 5th investment we are the first to commit
- only 6% of all ivnestments were after seed
- the brand will be a larger umbrella for all kinds of stuff from our own prototypes ๐ฌ, to streams, to communities, to investinpublic transparency efforts
- this is legally speaking a rebrand of my previous solo GP fund so we got track record to proof
- we do about 15-20 investments per year
Link in thread! ๐ฅ
Please RT if you got a sec โ Appreciate your launch support ๐โค๏ธ

If we want change, we need to positively affirm:

The purpose of companies is NOT to grow or make profit!
That was always just a means to an end.
โLead by exampleโ in our US-centric work culture often means โwork the hardestโ.
But taking care of yourself, and living life according to one's truest desires, is also leading by example.
Honestly, it feels really awesome to celebrate our progress and share again on @ProductHunt .
Would love your support!

Fasting for a few days.
What's your least favorite thing about fasting?
Mine is definitely the *not eating* ๐ซ

After @TaylorJacobson started to work remotely and could not find an effective tool to help with his procrastination, he created it himself.ย
We spoke to Taylor about @focusmate on our most recent podcast episode!

We know we have a shame problem when few people in our lives give us direct feedback or exert clear boundaries with us.
These are signs that we are avoiding real intimacy because we believe that deep down that we are unlovable.
Enduring a situation we don't want to be in, in the name of growth, is not mature. It is avoiding the conflict & grief that may arise by confronting and changing the situation.

๐๐๐๐๐๐:
Excessively prizing strength and the ability to get by on our own.
It is time to start celebrating ourselves and each other for asking for help and allowing ourselves to receive it, in terrifyingly abundant quantities.
