How does one create a deepfake?

Has anyone worked on an high frequency trading stuff here? I would be keen to learn from you!

What do you think? are ICOs just hype?

I was curious, has anyone else here moved away from SF to start a startup? What was the experience like entering international markets?

Thanks Ranidu, Justin, and the Whale team for creating such an awesome product! Has anyone experienced any other platforms where real life was the same?

wow that's pure hustle! you logged int about 900 boxes then? :)

Thanks for this! Would you mind diving a bit deeper on how you were able to drive $200K in sales? That is impressive and congrats!

Have you checked out GrowSumo.com? They were YC S15. Luke and Bryn are awesome guys. They got us connected with a handful of influencers that promoted my first startup – www.goodaudience.com. Then their software tracked monthly commissions and payouts.

Hmm, is there a reason for NOT offering a guarantee?

Great insights. Why do some businesses have a free tier then? Does that only make sense if you're venture backed?

How do you get consulting work?

Well, too late for that :)

Thanks! What if people say they want to try it for free? Do you say no?

Lean hard on your co-founders. You're in an incredibly difficult journey together. I think they should be happy to pick you right back up. Is there anything specific I can help with?

no problem. hope it was an okay read :)

Does anyone of thoughts/experiences/learnings around co-founders? Would love to quote you and share with the rest of the community!

Ignore the competition and understand the problems your customers have deeper than anyone else. There's likely a problem other platforms can't solve :)

It's up to you and the company to work together to create a compensation packages that matches your risk profile, the value you think you can create in the company, and your end goal. Then obviously, you can get re-upped throughout your time at the company.

It technically is a job :) But people who usually work at a startup believe in the mission and don't feel like it's a 9-5 job. Otherwise, you wouldn't go work there for peanuts.

We sell a social media product with a market opportunity in the billions. Number of followers is just one metric. These are people that choose to follow you out of their own free will.

We were set up for SEIS/EIS and had an accountant review every thing. They then drafted the advance assurance to send over to HMRC. Definitely worth it to get this done before you start fundraising.

It does and I learned that the hard way. The legal process was the delay and I should have pushed it along faster.

You clearly get it.

This is something on our radar. How do we provide a managed customer service solution? I would run customer service for Deutsche Bahn myself. I'd want to see how well I can match their brand/voice and then write code where possible.

I appreciate the feedback here. I agree that there are tons of services that will help you increase with dodgy followers. However, that's a different market.

In hindsight, that was easy to see. We went where the money was. Had we closed, it would have been worth it!
