I'm excited to share a project that's been a labour of love —Assista, a voice-enabled AI assistant designed to transform how we interact with productivity apps. Born out of the frustration of constantly switching between multiple productivity apps, we created Assista as a unified platform that integrates various tools like Gmail, Notion, HubSpot, Trello, and Google Calendar.

With Assista, you can perform many tasks across various tools using either voice or text commands from a single interface. This saves time, reduces information overload and context switching, and improves focus. Imagine managing tasks, organising schedules, and receiving updates all in one place!

We've integrated Assista with multiple applications and a machine learning algorithm that personalises actions based on your work habits. We aim to make your workflow more efficient and intuitively aligned with your style.

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback or explore potential collaborations! Let’s discuss how technology like Assista can make our digital work environments more productive and less stressful.

Today, we launched on Product Hunt and would appreciate your upvote and feedback! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/assista-ai

Thank you for taking the time to check this out! 🚀

I am doing a company assignment where I have to pitch 5 startups that are worth investing. I am aware of the basic parameters like company product, market size and growth, founding team, Competitions, rules and regulation, profit margins and GTM that needs to be checked before investing. Did I missed anything in the above list?

There are thousands of startups registered in a country and it's not possible to evaluate all the startups so how should I shortlist around 50 startups for through research?

One way i know is just simply going after Y Combinator startups or other popular startup hubs but these startups will be in the eyes of popular VC's and angel investors so the probability of my company securing a deal is quite low. So what's the other way of scouting startups?

I have a subscription to some websites containing the information of all the registered startups, so how can I make use of that?

Also what are some popular startup hubs and demo days?

Hi all, I am working on a side hustle creating Notion templates for the VC industry.

I am curious to know - is anyone here that is active in VC (angel, solo GP, VC, etc.) using Notion for any aspect of their practice?

If so; it would be super helpful to understand which use cases are creating value for folks out there; so - what do you use Notion for? :)

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Wondering if anyone in this group has referrals to funds that are actively deploying capital to seed stage, fintech start ups (post rev). Looking to raise $1.2M and have already raised $200k. Feel free to DM me!

Greetings fellow investors,

As the founder and operator of a private equity fund, I ventured into an innovative direction nearly two years ago by establishing a staffing company specifically designed to align with our fund's objectives. The primary mission of this initiative was to scout, cultivate, and place top-tier talent and leadership within our portfolio companies, aiming to drive growth and operational excellence across the board.

This strategic move has yielded substantial benefits not only for our fund and the staffing entity but also for the portfolio companies we support. It's a win-win-win situation that has exceeded our initial expectations.

I'm reaching out to this community to gather insights on a few points:

Experience Sharing: Have any of you embarked on a similar journey by either creating an internal staffing solution or closely collaborating with staffing firms from the early stages? If so, I'd love to hear about your strategy, execution, and outcomes.

Market Trends: It appears that integrating staffing solutions early on is gaining traction. Do you perceive this as an emerging trend with significant potential, or is it merely an isolated strategy that few are pursuing?

Strategic Integration: For those who have integrated staffing solutions, how have you incorporated this aspect into your pitch decks or investment strategies? Has this approach influenced your interactions with potential investees or partners?

It's important to clarify that I'm not referring to the traditional staffing or executive search firms that primarily focus on serving PE or VC firms themselves. The landscape for those services is quite saturated. Instead, I'm interested in discussing the strategic use of staffing solutions to enhance portfolio company performance directly.

Looking forward to your thoughts, experiences, and whether you see this as a paradigm shift worth watching or adopting.

Hey there, I have been wanting to work in the VC space for a while - my experience has mainly been leading sales at various start-ups, I am in my late twenties and want to start applying to a couple funds but wanted to know if it's a good idea to go directly into VC or are there any pre-qualifications I should consider doing?

Are there any certifications like a CFA or an MBA that I should pursue before applying? Right now, I only hold a Bachelors in Economics.

tl;dr I am a head of sales looking to go into the VC world - any pre-qualifications needed to enter?

15-year-old aspiring entrepreneur here. I had an idea for a business that I wanted your feedback on.
I'm planning to start an information product growth agency with a unique twist. Essentially helping influencers use their preexisting content and knowledge of a particular subject to create an online course that will monetize the attention from their social media via that course. I would like to use AI to intelligently sort through their content as a basis for the course. The gaps will be filled in by the influencer. The influencer would only be responsible for promoting the course and recording missing content.
Is this business viable? If you were an influencer would you use this service? Do you have any thoughts, ideas, or concerns? Let me know!
PS: I set up a feedback page for anyone who wants to share there as well:

Hi all, I'm exploring how venture funds are innovating with Notion for critical operations like CRM, deal flow, LP management, and investment memos.

I have started to build templates for VC use-cases at www.notionvc.com.

Has anyone successfully integrated Notion for these tasks? I'm curious about the templates or systems you've found effective. Any shared experiences or tips on making the most out of Notion for VC back-office tasks would be greatly appreciated!

This post was due in 2023, unfortunately cancer happened and here I’m kicking its ass 💪 Yup, after 49 venture investments I can tell you being an early stage VC is similar to being a founder. You’re building something from scratch, like I did. Starting my own fund in ClimateTech & Longevity was impactful in so many ways, a bunch of life long learnings, the journey has been a lotta fun with folks who’re in it for the long run. The biggest takeaway was be bold, brave and never look at it as an overnight get rich scheme. So yes, ask me anything and most importantly, start your investing journey as early in your life with as little as you can, just start.

Hey there!

I recently launched my first SaaS - Repurpose Pie a month ago. It's a tweet-to-video content repurposing tool for twitter creators.

​

We crossed 100+ users and $5500 MRR on launch!

Today, I launched the software on Product Hunt.

If you could take 15 seconds to drop a quick upvote and comment, I would really appreciate it!

​

Product Hunt launches are tough, especically for small companies like mine. Every bit counts!

Looking at pitchbook- can’t fathom that price.. the only real reason we want it is deep market research via the “Emerging Industries” section ..

What else can compete with this?

I've been doing research on VC returns which is tough because most data is private. I've heard VCs make on average 30% - 40% per year, but then I found this - https://preiposwap.com/on-the-176-annual-return-of-a-yc-startup-index/ Which is saying it's much higher. Are there any public data sources where this has been mapped out? Anyone have any interesting articles on this topic?

Does anyone know or has heard about angel investors who are actively and exclusively investing in blockchain, web3, and/or crypto startups? Can you share names?

Hey everybody,

great business group, love it how supportive everybody is.

​

I am a German Psychologist and I work with Entrepreneurs for a couple of years already.

Years ago, I especially helped Entrepreneurs to build habits and become more effective.

Nowadays, I´m working on a new project.

I´m working out a new framework helping Entrepreneurs with Mindset Barriers.

For example feeling Overwhelmed, lacking Clarity and the Imposter Syndrome.

​

I tested this with a couple of old clients and it showed great results.

Before I am turning this project into an offer and running ads at full scale, I would like to test this with a couple of more Entrepreneurs in real life.

If you feel like this resonates and you would like to be one of the first 2-3 practical testers, then you are welcome to contact me.

​

By the way, participation as a tester is free of charge and involves a 30min. free call in which we fully dive into your challenges. I create an open space for everything that comes up in our conversation.

In return, I only expect feedback.

​

You can check out my work here:
