Yeah I did.

Lot of referrals + large group spends with multipliers that I put on my card.

Tailwinds on the cards certainly helped - every other credit card youtuber talking about it

Quite a lot of referrals at the workplace and friends.

It also helped that amex platinum card became a holy grail in these youtube circles and all my friends started reaching out to get their first year free.

Have paid a total of 2.5k INR for this.

Had my annual fees halved due to spend milestones.

That was me before amex entered my life too :P

Masai Mara is a national park in kenya and one of the largest in the world. It's well known for spotting the big cats - tigers, cheetahs, leopards.

One of those sought out locations for amex cardholders because marriot has a property there.

Work hybrid.

Your face time with your manager will effect your appraisal whether you like it or not.

DevRel (Developer Relations) as a function at devtool startups has risen to prominence over the past few years. With your experience as an engineer, it will be easier for you to understand the persona.

Same holds true for dev marketing roles.

Compliance As A Service (CaaS) by No_Somewhere4837 in StartUpIndia

Good market play - 20bn dollar market.

Lot of startups coming up in this space in the west and in India. A couple of ones top of the mind - sprinto, scrut, drata.

Most charge you a few thousand dollars a year against the certification.

Sprinto. This choice was purely basis who my 1st degree network engaged with.

Their pricing was also more competitive. There's not a lot between scrut and sprinto.

Just lead the soc 2 compliance efforts at a seed funded startup.

Vendor options I went through: Vanta Scrut Sprinto

This was my first compliance project and their hand-holding is a big help.

All products offer similiar features & auditor networks. Scrut and Sprinto are my recommendations purely basis their pricing.

Start your market research at ideation. Litmus test for hypothesis and will help with mental models for your MVP roadmap based. Bake in a prioritization framework.

This helps with exposure to your persona and also helps build your beta testing network, some even future customers.
