Small update for the people who ve been following Flowdy

A while back, I posted here looking for people to help shape Flowdy and some of you actually did. This is where that feedback led.

The honest problem with V1 was simple: it only helped merchants who already had content. Flowdy could turn blog posts and product descriptions into shoppable text, but if a store wasn t writing blog articles in the first place, there wasn t much to work with. And for a lot of stores, that s just the reality.

How do the best investors identify exceptional founders before there's a company, product, or traction?

Tomorrow, we're sitting down with Alice Bentinck, co-founder and CEO of Entrepreneur First, to unpack exactly that.

Of course, before making any such decision, you d need to research a lot of factors, such as the political environment, who runs the company (CEO, CFO, etc.), its past track record, competition in the industry, and so on.

Lately, many tech giants have been moving toward IPOs (because they need funding more than we do), which made me wonder: which companies do you think have real long-term potential on the market and are actually worth investing in?
