I'm now looking for a CTO to my startup that got funded - what to tell about us in the job ad
We just got 13 investors to my startup and we are now looking for a CTO (also a partner in the future).
Our company is heavily sustainable and is building a better world.
I think our company is special. I understand that everyone thinks that way. :) However, we really try to make a difference by helping all the sustainable companies out there. We match people with sustainable businesses and...

Slow updates? Feedback
In the world of updates, content, ads etc. I was thinking of introducing "slow updates", meaning that on our platform you could post an update only 1 per week. Any thoughts on this?
Pros/cons?

This is a good question! I have thought about this a lot when building a service to help finding advisory and board members.
I think the dream board is about people with diverse skills and values that are in align with the company values. It's also important that they understand something of the company's current status, I mean that startups usually have a bit different style and needs than...

I have muted notifications and are moving to services that are not using pointless notifications and support addictive behaviour.
I'm also trying to build humane business platform myself to give an alternative to these platforms that are built on humane weaknesses. I think we can do so much better. <3
How do you handle notification fatigue?

I think that accountability is very important in doing your startup, but is there a place to find an accountability buddy?

Looking for some beta testers to give us feedback
Hi!
We are currently on beta and I'm looking for some beta-testers to give us feedback. Are there other entrepreneurs that would be willing to do some switches on getting feedback of their product?
If you are an entrepreneur looking for mentors, sparring partners and/or board members and are willing to help other people succeed in their career/entrepreneurial path, would you have time to...

I'm happy to help you. :) We are also working with students but have built a network of people ready to help, do sparring and mentoring (and also to found board members). I think there are many great minds available, you just need to find the people with same values, interests and entrepreneurial mindset. Ping me if you would like me to introduce you to my contacts. :)
Which partnership helped your product grow?

We have decided to end the monthly subscriptions of some of the services we use. Harvest was the first one (unfortunately).

Hi ! Great topic.
I might answer a bit off the topic (sorry for that), but I think my thinking relates much to your question. :)
I think it is not so much about software, instead, I believe it is more about the leadership style that will be affected next. As a leader, I'm most concerned/interested in the changes in this area.
We already have so many good software we can use (videos,...

Great discussion here!
I think the biggest challenge is regarding energies. :) If you work together in a physical space, the positive energy can move easier from one person to another and the bad moods/energies can change to good ones if other people are energized.
If you are at home you are totally responsible for your own energies and if you are in a bad/sad mood, you can easily have that...

Hi!
I think it should not be just for co-founders but also for the management team.
Also I would start with using Socrates dialogue method. I have been finding that useful and saves a lot of time and gets to the point quite fast. :)
What do you think about "Couple's Therapy" for co-founders?

Do you know people familiar with humane tech & conscious business?
Hi!
Since I started my startup Prönö (www.prono.fi), I have been building the business with conscious business methods. Humane tech is one approach that I have been using in designing our service.
However, I have found it very difficult to find people who are interested and skilled with these areas. If you know the others or you are one who is interested/knows about these topics, please let...

This is a great topic.
I think everything is about balance.
I need to sleep well, eat well, meditate and exercise, have fun, play and kiss, and so on. For me doing creative things is also very important.
I have found an excellent psychiatrist to meet whenever I want. He has been very helpful in many ways. Nowadays I visit him maybe twice a year. I meet him when I want to understand...

My newest startup is named Prönö.
It comes from the word "entrepreneur". Because we Finns find it very difficult to pronounce "antreprönöyr". So it became Prönö. www.prono.fi
I had many alternative name ideas but after sparring with my friend a while she told me that all the names I had mentioned were booooring and didn't sound like me. Then she asked: "Don't you really have anything else?"....
How do you find a name for your projects?
