Big fan of framer. Makes it easy to have a great-looking landing page and take that engineering work off the plate of your tech folks. That way we can make sure our software engineers are focused on the web app and product, not just centering divs.

Vercel + Github deployments are an absolute Godsend. Takes so so so much complexity out of the deployment process. Honestly our stack of Vercel, supabase, nextJS, github, etc. is impossible to beat. Not sure there's a better stack out there.

Stripe is very easy to work with, great team, and great product. If you're a dev and you want a plug and play payments solution, Stripe is for you.

Dalton Caldwell, Gary Tan, and the entire team at Y Combinator are absolute legends. I could not be more grateful for their help and mentorship. There's a reason why it's considered the premier startup incubator in the world.

Had to shout these guys out. We use Gather mostly for fun, but it acts as our virtual office. Truly amazing software, and would recommend to ANYBODY that has ANY virtual staff.

OpenAI is great, their API suite is incredibly valuable, and it's been incredible getting to know Sam Altman & the OpenAI gang while doing Y Combinator.

Supabase is incredible. Luckily enough for us, we've used them since the beginning. Genuinely great team to work with, very responsive, and the product is super easy to use. Scales super super well!

I love this company. I am biased, not going to lie, because I founded it, but I really think we're bringing something valuable into the world! Up to this point, we've gotten SO many people telling us that Cheers has been 10-20x as effective for in-person businesses than other companies that help get reviews. We hope everyone can have that experience!

Vercel is incredible. I think you can see our tech stack through these shoutouts, but the ability to push something to GitHub and have it immediately go to production is great.

We absolutely love Supabase, and plan to continue using it forever. They're building a great product, and it's easy to use and integrate with. 10/10.

We've been using expo for the last couple of weeks as we have been improving and developing our mobile app offering, and it has been incredible to work with. I love being able to just run the app on the Expo app on my iPhone and test on Android instead of having to push to TestFlight + many other steps before being able to test on a real device. Huge fan.

I just started using Apollo.io the other day, and I've been really impressed. A great way to find customers that may normally be really hard to reach. Sales are never easy, but so far Apollo has really helped us find the people that matter.

I mean, I have nothing but good things to say about Stripe. Without them, it would have been MUCH more difficult to get this product up and running. I really do think it's the most developer-friendly payments platform out there, and it continues to innovate. People generally trust the Stripe checkout screens. Stripe scales up really well with increased payment volumes as well.

Y Combinator does not need much of an introduction, but it has been a game changer for us. Between the one on one advice from group partners, the incredible community of founders, events, and much more, it's helped us be the best versions of ourselves, and build towards a legitimately valuable product! We have been able to personally meet people like Sam Altman, Paul Graham, Andy Jassy and many many more amazing founder. Applications for the (new) Fall batch of Y Combinator are coming up! Feel free to comment with questions and I'll try to answer as well as I can.

I love Framer. We were building our own website and landing page before, but switched to host our landing page on framer so we could spend more engineering time on building a compelling web-app & companion app! If you're looking for a good way to build a really good looking landing page, Framer is great. Also great for creating MVPs. Generally difficult to build a real web-app or product on, but for almost everything else it's amazing. Figma and Canva are awesome for design but being able to publish changes yet have similar functionality is incredible.
