Are you going to be hiring in the US?

Starlink was a game-changer for me in the situation you described.

I wonder if the whole site could be put in a trust with legal stipulations to maintain hosting funds. The trustees would be the management teams, then potentially a corporate trustee who could keep the lights on in the event of a permanent code freeze.

I think partnering with a forward thinking legal firm that specializes in estate planning would be a cool avenue to explore that further.

I listened to Kara Swisher interview some top Apple execs who used to work closely with Steve Jobs recently. Unfortunately I think we're now in an era where design and user experience is a lower priority when shipping new products.

I'm not sure what the path to fixing this is, or if it even needs to be fixed, but I do think that Steve Jobs created a cult of innovation and a beacon to aspire towards creativity-wise, even if he wasn't the most pleasant person to interact with. This aspirational figure forced individuals and companies to be better.

I hope everyone reading this post knows how easy it is for Yotta to open any account at any other brokerage with this information. From there, they could initiate a transfer from your OTHER (non-Yotta) brokerages and drain your account. It really is that easy with the in-kind (or ACAT) process. Even if Yotta isn't nefarious, they could be hacked and a bad actor could use your data to accomplish the same thing.

I recommend locking down all of your investment accounts, Fidelity specifically has a lockdown mode designed for this. You can still trade/add money/pay bills, but no one can drain your account just because they opened up another account with your SSN.

I agree, this feels like it could be built as a feature of Asana instead of a separate tool.

Tough to do as a side hustle, most SaaS companies sell their products on 6 to 18 month cycles. (This really depends on the product. A password management solution may be sold within 60 days, a cloud vendor may take years to fully run most of an organization's solutions.)

My advice is to break in as a sales engineer instead of an account executive. You get to experience some variable compensation, stay very technical, build trust with senior leaders at prospective companies, and not go "full sales."

This will likely be a full role change, though.

It would be interesting to see the "investors" segmented by assets under management (AUM). I'm sure some "investors" are mom and pop rental situations while other institutions, such as BlackRock, are purchasing single-family homes at scale.

I'll also be curious to see what happens when remodels need to happen. Many trade labor markets are hyper localized and difficult to scale across a property portfolio, this is where RedFin and Zillow struggled to "flip" effectively.

Google Cloud does this with new trial accounts, there's a very explicit step between free and paid services.
