Customer Reviews
Great!
Very informative and gives you really interesting point of view on the startups, right from the eye of founders. Lots of important hints!
Useful tips from founders that inspire to move ahead
One of the interviews particularly stood out in my head about how women founders always think that it is too soon to share their product with the world. It helped me to overcome my own anxiety and actually start talking about my very early stage product. The feedback that I am getting from the community is pretty useful.
Fresh reports from the bay area.
Great podcasts to learn about new tech ideas first hand from their founders.
