For both of my startups, I created a shared folder where anyone can dump things with the specific purpose of, "If we get super big and world famous, this would be interesting early history".
Sadly we never got big or famous, but the idea was there! Most of what was in there were early pictures of the team at important events.
- jrochkind1 4y agoAnd now presumably all that stuff is totally gone? 30 years ago, the "folder" would have been an actual manilla folder, and you'd still have it sitting in a drawer at home somewhere.
- jedberg 4y agoNah, I kept it all, moved it to a personal Dropbox folder.
- neilv 4y agoI did this at a recent startup where I was first engineering hire. It was our "Nostalgia" Google Drive. To keep it quick and low-maintenance, every entry (photo, video, copy&paste of a Slack discussion, etc.) was just its own file, with a filename starting with the date in "yyyy-mm-dd" format, followed by a caption. No other curation or presentation. Even a few months after an event, there was already some significant nostalgia value (and look how far you came already), and it also was a partial chronology.
