If you’re an early stage (preseed / seed) startup in Canada, you should apply to join EigenSpace. https://x.com/davidcrow/status/1446553692375814146

I may occasionally talk about startup stuff as if I know what I'm doing, but it's been amazing to have @davidcrow work with @expede and I as a venture coach: it's so great to have some support you in the process of building a business with feedback, advice, and accountability!

On a call with @davidcrow this morning, he coined the term "Stack Tribes": people using certain tool / API / programming language "stacks" that form tribes together.

Shout out of course to the OG Canadian startup community, @startupnorth, founded by @davidcrow @jonasbrandon @jevon.

Still evolving what Venture Scouts becomes. I'm thinking of it as the web version of #ehlist

I have implemented a simplistic @airtable version, once I realized how @davidcrow had implemented his version.

- Attendees table
- Form on Attendees, select event from Events table
- Events table filtered by Upcoming and Status

But that leaves a lot of manual work.

Getting started with a live discussion with @davidcrow on "Other People's Money" right now. DM me if you want the Zoom link.

I see many startup founders afraid to really engage with their finances, from planning to maintenance. You can't just outsource this to a bookkeeper, it's an essential core skill.

Love your spreadsheets :) https://x.com/davidcrow/status/1280197487941353472

@davidcrow I ended up going iPad while I’m waiting for the new Chromebook to be released. Focuses on dev tools, but I mention a handful of other apps.

@davidcrow AND people didn’t like it the first time I coined the phrase, but this is “fail money” (or if one prefers “education money”) that isn’t being spent inside the ecosystem.

So less learning, less investment, which further decreases opportunities for better outcomes.

I like this description of a stage of investing: pre-metrics.

Same issue in Canada.

Another phrase would be, lack of conviction capital.

Just moved @PolymailApp into iPhone dock as main email app. Thanks @davidcrow for the find. Inbox Zero show-all-mail-count is key.

@davidcrow thanks for the RT. Launching with high ideals & hopes - let’s see when the rubber hits the road

@davidcrow thanks for the @michaellitt intro - I may have let the #jadedasshat tag slip
