Oh, and I'd like to add — one of the reasons why I'm so excited about this launch is because it's been a crazy journey so far. I entered YC as a solo founder fresh out of college, working on a near-polar-opposite product (mobile 3D reconstruction; highly-technical). We worked hard on that for nearly two years, and only recently made the decision to change directions. If it's interesting, I'd be happy to give perspective on this decision and my experiences so far.
- d0m 6y agoYeah, please do share. Congrats on the pivot and Satchel looks pretty cool, good luck (Even though I'm not sure I understand the business model, I see a lot of value in the product)
- Fission 6y agoWill do. It might be a bit lengthy and take a bit of time to write, so I'll post this placeholder for now and update it throughout the day.
- pjam15 6y agoWould love to hear!
- stev3 6y agoCongrats on the launch, Andrew! I'm curious to learn more about your experience in mobile 3D reconstruction. Did you publish anything? I'm curious because I'm working in the 3D reconstruction space as well.
- Fission 6y agoDidn't publish anything. Mainly, we focused on making 3D reconstruction practical for B2B use cases. It's interesting, because I personally see the idea of commercializing academic research to be well-intentioned, but a bit more difficult than it sounds.
