Congrats on the launch. This is a really interesting space that I think has a ton of potential - I'm watching pretty closely to see what comes out of it. Have you heard of Outlier ( https://outlier.ai )? Do you have any thoug

I wasn't asserting the validity or the necessity of attorney's at that price. I was simply saying that there is a market rate at that point for attorneys.

High end firms can easily be $800+/hr for attorneys. I believe Wilson Sonsini was $1200/hr for an attorney I was recommended.

Of course. But my question pertains _how_ the event data is stored. Heap stored the event data in Citus, and OP worked to optimize their PostgreSQL for queries across the data. Freshpaint doesn't query the data (in the aggregate form t

I'm not affiliated with Freshpaint, but I'm curious what you mean by this. Event collectors absolutely do make money (albeit none are probably profitable due to being in growth phases right now). Also, very few are open source (M

Can you speak to the architecture at all? e.g. an event hits Freshpaint, and 3 months later is is qualified as a defined "event" to be forwarded to 3 destinations - how does it happen? I ask because I saw your previous comments an

Are you asking what you should with a 200 slide pitch deck you created for a seed stage company? If so, throw that thing in the trash. Follow the standard 10 slide deck format until you hear otherwise.

You don't need links. Just exhaust yourself. You know how. I was in the same boat - solo founder, working 14 hour days, incredibly stressed. Exercise and avoiding alcohol, drugs, and shitty food is the key. There is a certain level of

I have several friends with top tier MBAs. They all got them in an effort to jump from the sell-side to the buy side, and most saw salary increases from 300-400k to 600k-1M+. The ROI on that specific career move is pretty clear and is reall
