Zero to one is hard, surprisingly lonely and doesn’t get easier with experience. We’re a true co founder. Come build with us.

At Neighborhood Studios (@goodstuffnearby) we’re exploring an idea to help ATL-based influencers plan in-person events without the stress. Please comment or tag if you know any influencers in Atlanta. Any type of influencer works. Local food and drink influencers. Culture and Arts Influencers. Fashion influencers. Fitness and Wellness Influencers. Etc. Our focus is smaller, ATL-focused influencers. Ideal IG follower count is 10,000 to 40,000 followers.

You think brick-and-mortar companies are a bad investment and you're right 80% of the time and completely, utterly wrong 20% of the time.

I randomly asked my 3.5 year old daughter what she wanted to become. She replied: “engineering” I swear I’ve never taught her this. I cried a small tear of joy. Peak Indian dad stuff y’all. Peak!!

Imagine if Airbnb let their hosts do home swaps. This app lets you rent your place to earn credits for your own trips. Lowkey would do this between coasts ✈️

Hyperlocal is tough y'all. You can't skip steps. It's gotta be a 10x better product. And you typically can't assume venture like growth as quickly as a digital product. Neighborhood Studios (@goodstuffnearby) is dedicated to doing hyperlocal venture scale startups the right way.

One of the main reasons repeat founders do well!
The startup adage "chips on shoulders equals chips in pockets" means that entrepreneurs with something to prove increases the chance that investing in these types of entrepreneurs results in better financial outcomes. So, the next time someone asks, "What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur and a successful angel investor?" Remember the saying: "Chips on shoulders equals chips in pockets." davidcummings.org/2024/03/30…

I loathe Postgres' JSONB column. The most easy to abuse column type. Has caused numerous incidents and tons of technical debt/slowness. Has probably cost us millions in lost revenue at this point.

Entrepreneurs would do well to think about the "big unlock" that makes their new venture possible. The "big unlock" makes it so that now is the time to build this next company. Sometimes it's only a modest change that makes a startup work, but the vast majority of the time, there's some big trend, innovation, or societal shift that creates an unlock for a wave of new startups. Find the unlock and walk through the door. davidcummings.org/2024/03/23…

Separating ideas from people proposing them is one of more difficult ideas to practice. Maybe impossible to master.

My wife is taking her US citizenship test. We’re prepping for it now. No cheating, who wrote the Declaration of Independence? Also how many of the current citizens would know this answer?

So inspiring!
My Dad moved to the US when he was 46 years old. Mom was 45. In the following 20 years they: - Put 3 kids through college, first ever in our family - Bought and paid off 2 hotels worth $2M - Bought and paid off a 1700 sq ft house But keep telling yourself people can't get ahead in America because of "structural racism".
