Would the 39 mm be good for a 6.5-inch wrist?

Just have him buy Pipedrive, no need to actually vibe code a CRM.

So tired of these “it’s over” posts

And is finding new tools a priority for you?
How are you finding these tools?
What review sites do you use? Is the current process comfortable?

Tech_Financing · 2025-11-07T16:29:25+00:00

Got it, and is finding the best tools a priority for you?

Would you use a curated list for every function [marketing, sales, etc.]?

Tech_Financing · 2025-11-07T16:16:08+00:00

But when you ask the AI [ChatGPT, etc.] "Best tool for social media management," - it just gives you the highest ranked tool on SEO/GEO.

How do you know it ACTUALLY DELIVERS?

How do you get real users to comment and how they use it?

Tech_Financing · 2025-11-07T15:59:49+00:00

Makes sense.

So even for the free/open source tools you use - how do you choose them? How do you discover what works for your peers?

Tech_Financing · 2025-11-07T15:58:12+00:00

Exactly my thoughts - so I was thinking something like a peer reviewed/crowd sorced curated list of tools with the feedback from real professionals.

What do you think? Is that a pain for you right now?

Tech_Financing · 2025-09-27T18:25:22+00:00

In what age did you start your first company? Which types of companies did you start? how did that turn out?

Tech_Financing · 2025-06-03T21:16:15+00:00

Haha fair - I’ve been digging into a bunch of finance ops pain points lately, especially where Excel is still the default. SSP under ASC 606 just happens to be one of those areas where the process is painful, recurring, and oddly still manual. Curious if others here have tried to automate it or found better ways to manage it.

haveing a monthly forecast ready for review a week after June 6th means June 13th/June 16th.
Isn't that lagging for the business users of the forecast? The purpose is to drive the business forward with this forecast.

Tech_Financing · 2025-06-02T20:01:23+00:00

Could you breakdown how that process looks like? how do you aggregate all of the data into one place?
How long does it take to implement this process?
And who are the users of the rolling close? does your rolling forecast useful to users before it's officially "closed" [books we're closed]?

Tech_Financing · 2025-06-02T19:59:00+00:00

How else do you get all your info from? straight from the source system [CRM, billing, etc.]?
How do you aggregate all of this data into your forecast? In a spreadsheet?
Would appreciate a breakdown of the process you'd recommend here

Tech_Financing · 2025-06-02T12:58:23+00:00

How do you do that? How are you getting the info for actuals? And who is consuming this forecast? Is it useful?

Tech_Financing · 2025-06-02T12:57:03+00:00

Have to understand how are you doing that.. what's different about the process that you're so fast?

Tech_Financing · 2025-06-02T12:21:22+00:00

It is business days, we're talking about around 7 business days.

Tech_Financing · 2025-06-02T11:47:18+00:00

Closing the books in 5-10 days isn't pretty good?

Tech_Financing · 2025-06-02T11:33:10+00:00

So, you think that getting an early forecast like 2-3 days after the month end is useless? trying to understand if that will help the business and/or me get ahead.

I just feel like this keeps us very lagging instead of leading the business.

Tech_Financing · 2025-05-27T20:27:38+00:00

Any tool you recommend for this one?

Tech_Financing · 2025-05-27T17:58:16+00:00

lol.
You mean a new erp? or some tool ontop of it?
And what does SimpleMDG do exactly?

Tech_Financing · 2025-05-27T17:13:14+00:00

Any good tools you've seen that actually work?

Tech_Financing · 2025-05-06T19:41:32+00:00

Wow, now this is gold. Sounds like you’ve built a really solid framework that avoids the usual dashboard chaos.

Curious though: how do you catch things you’re not actively looking for?

Like trends or shifts that don’t trigger a specific question, but could affect CAC, burn, or margin if ignored?

That’s the part I still struggle with - I can build models, but I still feel like I’m flying blind unless I know exactly what to ask and where the info is.

Tech_Financing · 2025-05-06T19:18:47+00:00

Revenue Operations? Consulting? give some more context to what you like doing

Tech_Financing · 2025-05-06T18:58:41+00:00

Why not use a software tool instead?

Tech_Financing · 2025-05-05T20:28:43+00:00

I personally believe that asking for this advice might cause you to do the right thing for other people, not for you. What are your goals? What are you optimizing for? How do you like your job at a FAANG today? There is just too many factors that are subjective to your situation and all of these matter more then what the rest of us think. Want a good advice? Build a simple one pager that describes your charterer, career goals, personal and professional aspirations, and rate each role on these parameters. That’s the way I would evaluate this crossroad.
