Resource of the day
My friend Waseem Daher recently started “Startup Real Talk,” the newsletter he wished existed when he started his first company.
Waseem is now on his third company — he started with Ksplice (acquired by Oracle), then built Zulip (acquired by Dropbox), and is now the co-founder and CEO of Pilot, which recently achieved unicorn status and runs the financial back office for other companies.
Already “Startup Real Talk” has tackled 3 common challenges faced by early-stage teams:
Naming your startup (where Waseem shares his experience initially naming his current startup “Zapgram” because he and his co-founders hated the name so much that it would force them to change it to something better, rather than starting and then potentially sticking with something that was just okay)
Finding your next startup idea
Thinking through whether your startup will actually make you happy
Would highly recommend checking the newsletter out. Also, Pilot is hiring.
And now, onto the jobs. - Ali
