Reflections on start-up life: Week 28

The new beta is still not quite fully operational, still a couple of minor issues that should be resolved today. We are feeling the pain of not having a proper development environment anymore — the challenge (as I’ve said many times in Twitter) is that doing something once is NOT

Straight up — we didn’t get the next beta out just yet. But it’s close! As I said to Alex, it will get closer and closer until one day it’s just done. That will be real soon. This anticipation is kind of strange in a way. There’s

Holy crap! 6 months — where did that go? I think this deserves the main focus of this post so I won’t dwell on last week much: * Progress on all fronts: * Next beta of engine is very close * Pipeline is now behaving * Feedback on reports is very positive — we are

Reflections on start-up life: Week 25

The first full week back from San Francisco is done. Boy, what a change of pace! After a hectic time rushing from meeting to meeting, it’s now back to the challenge of coding and trying to re-engage a meeting schedule here back in Australia. The challenge has been switching

Reflections on start-up life: Week 24

I don’t know if I left my heart in San Francisco, but my inner geek found its spiritual home. In our two and a half weeks we met many amazing people doing many amazing things. The quality of the start-ups, the engineers and the networking is phenomenal. Perhaps the

Reflections on Start-Up life: Week 23

The time in San Francisco is winding quickly to a close. We now have only four days left to make the most of this particular opportunity. I thought in this post it would be good to summarise what we’ve learnt to date about investor meetings and introductions. I guess

A little out of sync this week but I blame the time difference! We continue to have a very interesting time here in San Francisco. It’s ranged from the stunning (hearing Opera singers serenade each other at a birthday party in local restaurants) to the slightly off putting (seeing

Reflections on Start-Up life: Week 21.5 — San Francisco Edition

Since arriving in San Francisco there is more happening than I can cram into a weekly post, hence this special edition. It’s been a really exhausting few days and I’ve never been as tired as I was last night in my life. After arriving Tuesday AM after around

Firstly a big thank you to everyone that has been reading this blog and sending their encouragement. I love to get feedback that people out there are listening and I’m not just talking to myself, so thank you. San Francisco, the major event that has been looming now for

Reflections on start-up life: Week 20

Wow. Week 20. Doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun. As I come out of an Easter weekend (four day break here) where I’ve worked a substantial portion of each of those, it’s perhaps appropriate to reflect on deadlines, goals and focus. After 20 weeks there
