all the productivity kids and their pomodoro timers know nothing of the pressure to lock in before your 5 month old reaches their next wake window

guiltily putting down my phone to focus on my 4 month old son only to be ignored because he’s lost in intensely observing some lightbulb

It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy… I got something to announce: We're launching PROTOTYPE: a new fund, fully focused on Europe. A small fund that punches way above it's size. With it we back what Europe is world-class at: robotics, automation, manufacturing, and anything that requires hard engineering. First check. First round. As early as it gets. Europe invented industry. We're the birthplace of precision manufacturing. The second largest manufacturing hub on the planet. Leaders in automation and robotics. And yet… We sell out our best tech to China. We export our best founders & most of our investment money to the US. That's insanity. What should we do instead? Build the next trillion euro companies in robotics, manufacturing, automation right here: in Europe. Showcase to young founders what is possible and change the system around them where needed. What we will do: → Publish all our fund updates and build in public: updates.prototypecap.com/ → Showcase Europe’s Most Ambitious Startups on Youtube: youtube.com/@prototypecap → Launch & support more projects like @euinc_petition. Enough talking about Europe. Time to build it: Startups, makerspaces, student clubs, and much more. → And most importantly, invest into the best founders in Europe. Same model as our previous funds that are in their top 1-5% cohorts worldwide. We won’t do a VC fund in the classic sense. This will be a community of hyper-ambitious people who want to actively change Europe for the better. It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy. Check out prototypecap.com!

“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up? Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech! Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers. But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians. Time for a change. Europe is the birthplace of industrialization. The home of frontier tech. Time, we act like it. Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺

vibe coding is making me feel much better about myself as the ai also makes all the same silly mistakes, soon resorts to trying things at random without properly understanding the problem, and gets totally stuck when trying to fix a missing closing tag

there are people who want to see change there are people who want to see themselves in the story over time you realise these groups overlap but are not the same

psych - actually here i just productively read principles by ray dalio and now i'm going to just do stuff even more

The excitement around this launch and product has been immense! Given all the database products out there, I didnt expect to see such an overwhelming response! 🤯 But, seems like Softr Databases do solve a huge problem for many people - fast, scalable, no API limits, no performance lags. We are live on @ProductHunt today! 😻 #softr #producthunt #databases

you can just not do stuff, also 🏖️

uh oh

narrative violation

Fastest growing SaaS company of all time, powered by London tech 💪🇬🇧 huge kudos @plainsupport team

Huge if true

Designers 👋 I'm hiring for a role that's near and dear to my heart. Talking to customers should feel magical. For most support teams, it feels like filling in your tax return. Design at Plain exists to bring the magic back. We’re at a rare moment of change in this space: AI is transforming what’s possible, and we get to shape what the next decade of support looks like. That means rethinking the whole product experience from first principles - and obsessing over every detail. We're a company founded by two designers, where you'll be surrounded by a team with a super product-centric mindset and customers who hold us to an incredibly high bar on craft. This is the place to really push the envelope. Would love to hear from you. DMs open 👇
