Meetups, happy hours around conferences and events, and lean our your VC contacts they should have their own events/dinners, and can intro you to like minded founders regardless

Good Luck! Just wondering, is where is your prospecting tool getting it's information? Is the contact info from LI/ other prospecting tools?

I've used my share of prospecting tools and the main issue I've dealt with isn't technogrpahics or firmographics but rather the quality of contact info, so wondering where you get this info. Some prospecting tools, like Zoominfo, have teams that verify emails and phone numbers

Sidewalk riding can be ok if there is a clearly marked and fully dedicated bike lane on the sidewalk. Without that it’s just too dangerous for pedestrians

If your competitor is much more well known AND your product is superior to theirs and you are at the beginning of your journey there is no downside. Using their name will help ppl get what you do and help you get in front of the right audience.

Once you are a more established company, though, you really need to be able to describe your offering and differentiation independently of other companies.

They’re trying to avoid waisting time on unqualified candidates. You should avoid wasting your time on a company that won’t even speak with you for 15 mins before they ask you to invest hours on a project for them. Just my 2 cents.

- Dinner at the office - No remote or by hybrid options - Team is fresh out of college. If no one has more than 2 years of professional experience except for the founder/s, they are looking for followers. - Multiple case studies / take home exercises (difficultly making decisions / moving quickly) - If you have an interview scheduled with multiple ppl and one of them is a no show more than once. - If you’re interviewing for team lead / head of position and the team/part of it isn’t part of the interview process. - If there are co CEOs that disagree on the vision or mission

We used indeed as the pilot. Don’t try this on LI as your account will be banned.

You can also test out clay- they have a free tier that I think includes new job alerts based on LinkedIn.

If you want a pure crm- without marketing automation- hub spot has a free option. If you want to engage the users in your crm hubspot also has a startup discount that can reach 90% for the first year. Check out intercom as well, it can function as a budget crm and mailer in addition to live chat. I hope this helps!

There are prospect databases like Apollo.io and zoominfo that let you filter based on prospects new to their job. Add that to a company size/stage/revenue filter and you should be at least 80% there.

Alternatively, you might consider scraping relevant job sites/forums/boards for job postings for UX research/designer.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

You said you have a couple paying customers- invest in turning them into raving fans. Step 1 for generating word of mouth demand.

Looks super useful - thanks for sharing!

When I search for a title- movie/show- it just shows me info about it. I thought you would suggest other relevant titles based on the input.

Consider linking to where you can view the content - youtube/networks, and good luck!

Overall, to my understanding, better SEO.

Whatever the terms we use are we should definitely have 2 distinct terms to describe the process of proving you are who you claim to be and the process of determining what you can do once logged into the application.

All two many developers and engineering leaders lump both concepts together as “auth” and falsely assume that both can be handled by their SSO service/ using a jwt.

Coca Cola tried to modernize their logo in the early 2000s and reverted back due to customer uproar

How is this different from re tool?

If the quality of work isn't verifiable by performance indications you'd be best off having another developer review the code.

There are services that do that, might not be open source but with free tiers like common room.

LinkedIn might not like you scraping the site as well, esp if you use sale navigator to get access to deeper info. Keep that in mind

I think that 1:1s are super important for startups, especially those with remote workforces.

When managers are player/coaches and ICs as well (I.e not middle management that focus on ppl management) they are super busy and need this time with their reports to understand progress, detect bottlenecks and blockers, and unblock them / answer any questions. Sometimes jr employees might not even realize there are bottlenecks that will impact them.

These meetings also help fostering a relationship, help with their reports growth, and retain them.

I agree if you can handle ambiguity. If you cannot and need/want hand holding/marching orders you will not make it at a true early-stage startup.

High-performers will perform regardless of location. If they are constantly unblocking people and being pinged they might have some lags in deliverables and the reason for that might not be as clear as if they were in office and everyone can see them being tapped on the shoulder and being distracted.

Those that lack internal motivation/sense of urgency might perform better on-site, but you as a manager might need to micro manage them. Is it worth it? I’m not sure. The employee and manager will most likely not enjoy the situation, esp if it goes on for a while.

Add to that how “small” and tight knit the VC community is and that’s a major signal.

You’re very welcome ;-)

Yeah that was one of my theories as well. If that’s the case I’d hope someone in the company does have access to their emails as I assume there are many prospects in that recruiters pipeline.

Idk, there’s a ton of heavy metal bands from the 80s and death metal too that are very very heavy on bass.

It’s the genre that matters not just the time period

If you just need quick landing page than instapage is by far the easiest to spin up.

If you are looking to build a robust site with a shopping cart go with webflow, they have an e-commerce offering.

I hope I helped :-;

How large is this company? If it's a small- seed/series A startup, I think it's expected you give 100% if not 130%. If you want something more laid back, perhaps you should focus on larger companies with 1000s of employees.

With that said, I do believe you should "care" about your work. Even if one task isn't the most exciting you should still care about the quality of code you contribute. After all, you will be judged by that, more than your time management skills.

I’m not a hater, I did vent here tho. I strongly believe tho that every touch point you have with a brand impact your perception of that brand, and an experience like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Thank you for letting me vent and for offering your perspective.

That's a great question, and the thing that comes to mind to me most right now is the fiasco around the no mask mandate at kubecon 2022 in Valencia. Attendees with a following (mostly dev rela) shared their fears on twitter generating awareness, and the new stack had a full webinar about the subject https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sbrgYc8CwE

On a side note check out this study https://www.careerarc.com/blog/future-of-recruiting-study-in... that shows that:

"Not only will a poor candidate experience make someone not want to apply again, but it even has an impact on their purchasing habits. This is seen among 64% of job seekers. Job seekers who don’t feel like they are treated fairly won’t purchase from that company again. This means that companies will both shrink their talent pool and lose money at the same time. Even more so, when job seekers aren’t treated fairly, they are more likely to complain about the company online in review sites like Glassdoor.com. These negative reviews can deter other job seekers from applying for jobs or purchasing products or services from the company."
