As a founder, never underestimate how challenging it can be to get your customer to change their workflow for yours. You have to be reducing A LOT of friction and making it easier. It's often best to create value without impacting their workflow.
54 job applications sent. 16 responses. 8 screening calls. 4 formal interviews. 0 offers. Just over a year ago, two brothers set out to fix the deeply broken hiring process that we're faced with today. Meet Chris Connors (@Chris_G_Connors) and Kyle Connors (@elykdotme),…
One of my productivity secrets is starting the day super early. For the past decade, I’ll start the day at around 6. There’s so much you can do with 3+ hours before the actual day gets started. Time to think, learn, plan, code, etc. without any interruptions.
Super curious as to what happens behind the scenes here that this occurs @amazon
I've found controlling your breathing to be such a critical aspect for getting into a steady rhythm while running. It helps me run both faster and longer.
Saw 3 friends last night who work outside of tech and all of them use chatgpt (daily). I found this interesting as I use it much less often (weekly/biweekly). Not sure if this is a me thing or a function of my current role.
Just learned about a pretty neat @googledocs feature - the email draft building block. Once you fill in the content, hit the blue "M" button and it automatically pulls up a gmail modal with everything filled out. Super helpful when asking others to send emails for you.
If you're striving for a goal, try to bring others along for the journey (either as partners or fans). And make sure to update them consistently - it helps with accountability. It's personally helped me start a business (candidate.fyi) and lose 40 pounds.
I'm curious on how enterprises willingness to give up control to AI for communication purposes to end consumers evolves. From my experience, they want to be in full control of every single message. Like tracking each possible message in a spreadsheet type control.
One of the most valuable tools we use on a daily basis is @metabase We have dashboards setup to track key metrics related to growth & usage in candidate.fyi - it's invaluable. If your team doesn't have visibility into your product data, you're operating blind.
A prospect told us today there's a critical bug with one of their SaaS tools and no one is responding to them. This isn't minutes or hours or days. This is weeks now. They pay > $40K annually. The prospect knew exactly when the renewal date was - wonder what will happen 🤔
I've learned over the years that regardless of how polished an organization appears from the outside, most are held together by duct tape. It's the reason why people are so important. The right person can figure out where/how to apply the next pieces.
I'm fairly convinced most VCs invest with their gut and then work backwards to validate. I suppose this isn't uncommon for most decisions made.
I left @Google 8 months ago to build candidate.fyi with my brother, @elykdotme We set sail to fix the broken candidate experience. With a newborn at home and kyle with two little kids, we left our full-time jobs and decided to build a company.
We reduced our API responses times by 93% last weekend. Here's the magic: We looked at the queries and optimized them. That's it.
Keep your eyes out for this one 🚀 @Chris_G_Connors @elykdotme bulletpitch.xyz/p/candidatefyi/
Here are some positions we think will be in @microacquire’s future. 👉 Tres Comas Accountant 👉 Dark Mode Aficionado 👉 Gazdecki’s Personal Bodyguard 👉 Mergers & MicroAcquisitions Banker @agazdecki are you hiring for these yet?

The companies I’ve been pitched lately. The funding I’m hearing about. Things are heating up again!
I’m sad to see everyone pile on Humane. Hard working people trying to build cool shit deserve our respect. Often they’ll fail. Sometimes badly. But we need them to keep trying. All the greats have been there. Jobs made a computer nobody wanted at NeXT. Then he made the iPhone.
It’s been 2 weeks since Q1 ended, have you sent out your investor update yet? The best companies send regularly scheduled updates. Period. I recommend quarterly at a minimum, monthly for extra credit.
Just crossed $20m AUM, with 199 investments on the @AngelList platform. Just getting started. Here for you founder fam.
