What does hey.com get right vs. not as a product? Will it succeed?
Have a thought? We'd love to hear it on souffle.club

We're building a trust graph based on who trusts whom & in what context, ie Who
- would you hack a product MVP w/ over a weekend?
- are designers you trust to benchmark design talent?
- are investors w/ incredible empathy for founders?
Your people recommend their people.⭐️

We're early-stage & operate in 2wk sprints/cycles—focused on getting things shipped. Our 2 priorities:
1) Build prod features—mobile-responsive, well-designed UX that delights users as they recommend & discover talent.
2) Build ML systems to understand & enable trust driven UX.

Some people asked me on Twitter what does a successful cold email to a VC look like? Here's a company we funded who sent us a cold email that I'll highlight (details redacted).
Some thoughts here:

Now that demo day is wrapping up I'm getting through a backlog of about 1000 emails from non-yc founders who have reached out to me. Three most common mistakes in these emails....

This is why I’m interested in @TrustedFor_ , since you don’t know what people really think of their coworkers/investors in LI/AL

We hear dissatisfaction with LinkedIn from our users all the time 🤔

I have finally updated my LinkedIn bio to say I am not on LinkedIn. Don't be a platform where this happens.

As I get older, saying thank you has gotten more important. Cliche, I know!

We're working to build a network that allows you to praise a designer, marketer, engineer, product person, etc for their work that
1) stays on the person's profile
2) can help other people needing the expertise you're shouting out

We think about this as we continue to try to grow TrustedFor. It’s in these intimate networks that opportunities arise—if you’re able to plug into them when you need to.

The bigger the town, the more lonely the residents become.
The bigger the social network, the more lonely the members become.
The bigger the office, the more lonely workers become.
Humans are built for small groups but today exist in constantly expanding networks.

Founders, don't build a company investors want so you can raise money from them.
Build the company YOU want and find investors that happen to want that too.

The longer you work on a product, the more likely you will never stop working on that product.

People aren't hiring degrees. They're hiring skills.
Go get skills and build a way to prove it.
