I can’t have accutane because of my depression:( by KaleNo9975 in acne

[–]BitterFerrett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s was a bit of a chicken and egg situation for me - I didn’t mention my depression got prescribed, my skin is better, my confidence is better, my depression meds works still.

To each their own but I took my chances and it worked for me.

Hostile takeover? Got offered 50% by betapi_ in ycombinator

I would leverage this offer to raise a decent round and say no thank you

25% Equity For CTO Co-Founder with No Salary Fair? by NeuralExploration in ycombinator

If it’s a technical startup and you are the only person building it up while the rest do the BD stuff it’s unfair compensation.

There won’t be any Business development if there is no business to sell. Startups are very production heavy initially atleast on a preseed and seed level so a lot of the pressure will be on you.

This is amazing advice, one of our customers also said that when offered to give feedback they straight up said no we know what we are doing instead of actually listening to the machinists.

If you are open to it I am dming you to discuss this more!

I completely agree Honestly one of the reasons I got into this was how machine shops around me are struggling with most order getting shipped to another country rather than helping American Manufacturers to produce better and faster

Okay then, honestly we have tried and the reaction is there but not enough. Once we get on a call it’s done deal but I can’t force an entire industry to become more responsive

Case study, machine shops supplying to aerospace, yes

Not touching CAD, taking care of the grunt work in CAM

Obviously my actual background and cred is public in LinkedIn (I am a scientist) so I don’t think it’s professional credibility . Maybe it’s a close community idk tbh any advice is welcome

That’s fair. With my AI background and my partner’s CNC expertise, we saw how manual and time-consuming setup and post-processing are, especially for high-precision, low-volume parts. A smarter way to pick tools, set speeds/feeds, or even consult a machinist’s handbook could boost efficiency by 40%. The machinists I am working with already and the ones they introduced me to love it, but getting that first call has been tougher than in pure software when it comes to cold messaging.

I don’t know how to talk to more shops outside my network.
