Started a startup in early 2018. We help schools in Indonesia to manage their money. Collect payments digitally, manage their finances, digitalise their financial records. Took us a long time to work through the practicalities (think driving motorbikes over rickety bamboo bridges to get to a school who has a shipping container of paper records). Very traditional industry. But doing quite good now, well over 100 schools. And we really help them, which is pretty cool. Maybe the first time ive worked on something that is genuinely productive. Also, its given me a newfound respect for people who work in education, what we in other industries do daily really does pale in comparison: - We find it hard to manage teams of actual professionals getting paid to be there. They have to manage thousands of kids who would rather be doing something else. And their parents, who arent easy "users" to deal with (to put it mildly) - We measure most of our KPIs live. For them, it can take 15 years to measure the impact (graduate employment rates, salaries). Such a ridiculously long timeframe. And of course theres the compensation. How you can stay motivated given all of that is insane. But they do. Met some genuinely great people.
