Yeah it's probably true that such things are the exception. But for a startup, a chance at e.g. a $256k SBIR Phase I and then $1.9M Phase II and the modern follow-on options in e.g. the Army (called the CATALYST program and other thing

This I am afraid is not true either, though. I know many dual-use companies who discovered an RFP (not just on SAM), late -- i.e. with a proposal deathmarch -- and got through.

Good stuff. Niche idea for ya: consider government contractors. Gov sites tend to be atrocious. Manual change tracking can mean you find a $1M RFP weeks earlier, which increases chance of winning. (Consider mda.mil. There's no email si

"$30, at least for large organizations." Hopefully they'll make it like $5-$10 for small teams. Or maybe not 'hopefully'. If they don't, a better and cheaper alternative will probably appear. LLMs are slowly be

Thanks, makes sense! Have you thought about targeting Substack-based podcasts also? Given how substack podcasters likely wouldn't need the publishing part.

This is a welcome tool indeed. Question: how would you describe how you're different to Descript?

Exactly. Wish more sites and other bits of software followed this website's philosophy. Once you have that which is sufficient, anything more is waste.

Yes, sadly HN does seem to have a high proportion of folks who don't seem to understand the value of human connection. Everything is about technology. But not all mission statements are meaningless, and not all attempts by executives t

I wonder: if we were more peripatetic about talks -- meaning, if we walked, in a group, rather than all sat down -- would we still struggle to get so much out of talks? We sit wayyyy too much in business and tech. There is not nearly enou

Good article and topic. What's missing though is so critical for our time: R&D. Yes -- it's usually wise to act like investors don't exist. But are you going to look at the world and go "oh, what we REALLY need is an

Fascinating. Seems like more of a frontier than even the US, in some ways. And curious point about big government. Thank you!
