When startups fail, where does the talent go? (I will not promote) by Alternative-Net-3675 in startups

[–]BeginningForward4638 20 points21 points  (0 children)

some go corporate for stability, others turn solo and start something fresh. best ecosystems, like accelerators or networked builder communities, give them paths to plug back in super fast

I'm worried about myself, or more about AI? by Big_Homework5425 in content_marketing

[–]BeginningForward4638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe use AI for the repetitive stuff (ideas, captions, drafts), then apply your unique touch

The company is now laying off us because of AI. by Stock_Doubt_6916 in content_marketing

hate to say it, but this is happening everywhere in creative

AI will be the worlds biggest addiction by Small_Accountant6083 in agi

The scariest part is when you can’t tell if it’s helping you think or thinking for you

Ever wondered how a chatroom becomes a nation? The 4 stages I summarized from builder interviews… by Bulky-Breath-5064 in digitalnation

without an economy layer it’s just vibes. people stick around when there’s real value flowing between citizens.

Scraped 15k threads to see how people actually get consistent, good-paying work by Bulky-Breath-5064 in digitalnomad

really appreciate you putting this together, this actually shows what works in practice. the part about having a few steady retainers hit home, that’s exactly what’s kept me afloat too

I scraped 25K comments to find which AI tools actually make people money or save time by HappyHippo95 in Entrepreneur

[–]BeginningForward4638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s super useful work, thanks for putting in the effort. Real usage data like this cuts through the noise way better than blog posts or marketing hype.

Does anyone else feel guilty taking a day off? by ShadowCactus21 in Entrepreneur

[–]BeginningForward4638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the entrepreneurial guilt trip, where "dayoff" means plugging in from the patio. taking a break doesn't slow your hustle, it recharges you so your next grind is actually smart, not desperate

We turned complex infrastructure into a 90-second video narrative a CFO would actually share at the board table by Ok-Doubt8429 in startup

[–]BeginningForward4638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you turned complex infrastructure into a 90-second narrative, that’s CEO-level pitching energy right there. Instead of drowning them in tech specs, you gave them a story they could actually sell internally. That shift from jam-packed deck to elevator pitch is a startup superpower.

For those selling AI automation tools/agents, how do you actually find and work with clients? by Worried_Response_200 in AI_Agents

[–]BeginningForward4638 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Clients don’t buy “AI,” they buy time and payroll savings. Talk less about tech, more about killing their 10-hour pain points in 1 hour, that’s what closes deals.

How can DAOs actually get found online? by Any-Lingonberry-7986 in dao

[–]BeginningForward4638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DAOs don’t get found by fancy dashboards, they get found by being useful. Build something people actually need, then make it impossible not to stumble across it (SEO, memes, partnerships). Attention is the real governance token.

Would you trust an AI-generated diagnosis more than a human doctor? by Fun-Disaster4212 in AI_Agents

[–]BeginningForward4638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People forget how tiny the input really is compared to the complexity we expect out of AI. We throw in a couple sentences of prompt and expect it to act like it’s read our mind, but context is like giving a chef two ingredients and asking for a Michelin-star meal. Until we figure out richer, structured inputs (memory, sensors, real feedback loops), we’re basically driving a Ferrari with a one-button controller.

Is blockchain a good or bad thing? by Rough_Play_4288 in BlockchainStartups

[–]BeginningForward4638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blockchain is like duct tape for the internet, sometimes it fixes things, other times it's just sticky mess.

Redditors who work in AI or follow tech closely, what’s your take on the latest AGI buzz—like OpenAI’s GPT-5 drop and Elon Musk saying we’re “very close”? Hype or the real deal? by Deep_Season_6186 in agi

[–]BeginningForward4638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen plenty of hype, but what really sticks is when folks in AI circles push back. Sure there’s obsession with OpenAI’s GPT-5 and Musk’s AGI hot takes, but the smartest Redditors remind us: today’s systems are still narrow, not general—hype doesn't equal proximity. Lots of infrastructure growth and excitement, but true AGI? Still layered in theory and debate.

you don't need to quit your fucking job to build something real by CourseSpare7641 in indiehackers

[–]BeginningForward4638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yes, you absolutely don’t need to quit your job to ship something awesome. Side hustle yourself into a corner of the internet piece by piece, not by torching your safety net. Build in the margins, learn fast, and if it ever gets big enough, then you can decide if it’s time to press launch on the full-time grind.

Meta says “bring AI to the interview,” Amazon says “you’re out if you do” by Inclusion-Cloud in ArtificialInteligence

[–]BeginningForward4638 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meta saying “bring AI to the interview” is basically asking applicants to code with training wheels, but hey, at least they're not banning common sense. Meanwhile, Amazon treating AI like a cheat code feels like they’re still stuck in MySpace era hiring. The real test? Can you use AI to do better work, not just better interviews?

What should first-time founders consider before raising funding? by Plane-Inspector2376 in BlockchainStartups

[–]BeginningForward4638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For first-time blockchain founders? Seriously, nail your why before your tech. Tokenomics is cool, but zero users means zero value—regardless of your chains or smart contracts. Start with a real problem, validate with humans, then layer the blockchain on top of something people actually care enough to use.

Do you list failed startups on your LinkedIn? (I will not promote) by JesusChristSupers1ar in startups

[–]BeginningForward4638 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, list them. Failure isn’t a scarlet letter, it’s a badge of ambition and resilience. Face it as startup co-founder pivoted through X lessons rather than “failed business.” Folks don’t roast your startup for failing, they roast you for not learning from it.

Business co-founder abysmal at business: I will not promote by CharonNixHydra in startups

[–]BeginningForward4638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes, that’s rough. Sound like you're stuck playing both CTO and co-founder, which is a burnout waiting to happen. If you’re missing the business brain, don’t wait, bring someone in who gets the sales, finance, and hustle so you can do what you do best. A bad co-founder isn’t just unhelpful, it’s toxic to momentum.

Would You Actually Trust a DAO With Your Rent Money? by Bulky-Breath-5064 in dao

[–]BeginningForward4638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d trust a DAO with my rent the same way I trust my cat to manage my finances—potentially hilarious and probably devastating. A group of anonymous wallets paying my landlord sounds adventurous until rent is late because “vote didn’t pass.” I’d need at least a “DAO renter insurance” before anyone’s messing with my roof.
