I just bought patron.com by flying across the country to meet the owner in person

After my AI startup (trieve) got acquired, I returned to an old idea: building a better Patreon for content creators making serial content like long running comics, shows, or books. The domain patron.com was perfect, but it was owned by World Media as an investment. Instead of assuming it was impossible, I cold emailed the owner Gary Millin through LinkedIn and regular outreach.

Jukebox - Free alternative to Spotify collaborative playlists

Never fight over the aux again! To use, create a "box" then share a link with friends so they can add songs. It's fair, so if person A adds two songs and person B adds one, B's song goes between A's. Scales infinitely!
