Hands down one of the best articles on the topic I've read - so many "wish I had known this years ago" types of insights. The video contains bits that aren't fully reflected in the post itself, so it's worthwhile to

Oh man. Civ 1 was the first computer game my father purchased for my brother and me in our earliest teens. We got to choose ONE game from a store, based purely on its packaging, and obviously pending approval by our dad. I vividly remember

If such a database existed, I think there'd be vastly more interesting use cases and applications implied than 'replacing an extremely specific minimal subset of photography' - for example, seamless visual world-travelling i

Correct. The bet here is that 1. we're only seeing the very early stages of what's possible with GPU-based DNNs and 2. while Wall St is certainly considering the future applications their fantasies are on the conservative side. Th

The 'problem' with the stock market is that most of these expectations are usually already priced in, i.e. NVDA's market cap today reflects expectations of massive future growth. That said, NVDA's stock just went 7% down

My #1 advice on pricing (esp for bootstrapping SaaS/software) is to think about your Customer Acquisition Cost (=CAC) first, as in: how many customers will you reasonably be able to acquire given your marketing/sales plan and at w

You shouldn't judge decisions purely based on their outcome, and especially not with stocks. If 60k is a significant chunk of your net worth and you don't want to just gamble, it was probably rational to at least sell part of it..

I don't think this is so simple with one person shops, as knowing one's value propositions, revenue/profit numbers & acquisition channels etc goes vastly beyond the concept of the presumably worthless 'idea' t

Dawson, just came here to just say that I am super impressed with Logojoy, and especially how the onboarding process is both so fantastically smooth AND it actually IS the product! Very cool. On the flipside, this surely has the potential t

First off, you can't talk 'to a company', but will need a specific idea on who's the person / function you want to get feedback from. Companies aren't people ;) Cold email / LinkedIn should actually work f

The important thing to keep in mind here is that the contrarianism of a bet is very obviously not a sufficient condition to make it a success. It's just that being contrarian AND right will usually be a more valueable bet than being ri
