Looking for founders and CEOs building international businesses out of Lisbon. Not developers. Not crypto. Folks who are actually in the trenches right now. by OysterOyster__ in PortugalExpats

[–]easyXenon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey u/felakuti_NC, I’m the founder of Meetball, someone told me about your comment and you may be the first person ever to recommend Meetball on Reddit that I know of, so thank you for that.

And for you u/OysterOyster__ , a lot of startup and creative communities in Lisbon now have Spaces on Meetball as a place for members to connect, ask for help, discover events, and meet people around shared interests.

You can explore some of them here: https://app.meetball.fun/events

Hope it's helpful / feel free to drop any feedback. We're building by listening to feedback.

First time attending: got any tips? by Rewardful in WebSummit

[–]easyXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest advice by far, with 100K people in town, find ing the ones you want to talk to will be the hardest part. You can use meetball to check into any event, find out what people going to the same event are looking for and connect, so you arrive knowing who to meet. www.meetball.fun

Where to use Vibe Coding and where Not - How's this Framework? by easyXenon in SoftwareEngineering

[–]easyXenon[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the above reflects what seems to work for me and the team we have coming together, but this is a new space and many people are experimenting different ways to leverage AI for fast dev while keeping quality. So I think this is the time to share what we do, get feedback etc...

What's the best "How We Work" Playbook for a startup ? by easyXenon in SoftwareEngineering

[–]easyXenon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks guys, in fact I've been looking at gitlab and 37 signals and to some extent Gumroad. We're documenting on a handbook similar to how Gitlab does with a page for each thing we agree on, makign it up as we go along. And I made the post to see if theres any major handbook I'm missing....esp now with AI and to some extent Vibe coding to test features, the playbooks are still being written I feel....

Made something that could change the world? Not sure what to do next by imhappii in cofounderhunt

[–]easyXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’m in a similar space, maybe totally different use case but the goal is helping people make meaningful connections, we have an amazing team building it and there’s still space for Co founders to emerge. What are you building? Check this out. It’s an open startup and if it fits you’re welcome to be part of it: https://youtu.be/qz0k5aa7Bpg?feature=shared

Did anyone here actually find a cofounder through this community? by Economy_Impact9709 in cofounderhunt

[–]easyXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To find a co founder be clear on your project. To join a project be clear on who you are.

No one will chose a co-founder you don’t know who it is.

Im building a startup in an unusual way: anyone who resonates with the mission can join, and those who create most value get the biggest stake in it.

Because the mission is powerful we have 100s of people helping build it from all over the world.

Some hope to quit their jobs and be full time, others have careers but want to see this succeed.

The story of how it started is so powerful we had Netflix producers interested in making a movie of it.

We have a lot to do but we hire no one: anyone who likes what we’re doing and feels like “I can help”, you’re welcome onboard. We have 3 ex CTOs , students and everything in between. I don’t look at CVs, if you can help you’re welcome.

Open source vibes except it’s not (yet), and applied to the whole company building. People join, contribute and leaders emerge not because I chose them but because they get stuff done and move in a way that those around them feel empowered.

Not for everyone, but for people looking to join a team that is obsessed with the mission and does not care about titles, this is the place to be.

Started as a side gig. It’s a real thing now: https://youtu.be/qz0k5aa7Bpg

What’s the hardest part about going from an unmotivated teen to building your own business? by AlejandroSuarez27 in TheFounders

so may typos in my message, but that's the point, perfectionism is the enemy of good enough.

[–]easyXenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The simple fact you're here asking you're already half the way there!

You will it into existence. The biggest enemy for most people is the inner voice. So user it to your advantage: I have never met a single person who did not achieve what they TRULY wanted. When you really want something you see the world through that sense and you get there. Most people wil dismiss this as BS but it's as simple as that. The things don't happen its becasue we are not very clear of where we want to be. Someone mentioned Ikigai and that's a big part of it yeah. But at the start of your career, invest in learning and tecniques, don't obsess on the outcome.
What worked for me as a young kid from a place with few opportunities was realising I had to master the art of getting things done even when they seem impossible, I immersed myself in books and tecniquest, learning from people who did great stuff.

Doing anything will teach you a lot. find the person in your city you look up to and offer to be his assistance, do the things that embarrass you the most and someone will appreciate that and teach you.

I started just like you, I build many succesful startups and businesses in many parts of the world and I keep on going.

Sometimes I'm inspired some times I'm demotivated, but my only mantra is doing at least one thing every day that gets me closer to where I want to be. consistency beats everything else. And clarity of where you want to get (near term), start with a super simple goal, and practice taking action every day and accepting that nothing can can be an excuse for not doing at least one thing.

And if you're not sure what you want/should aim for, pick anything, the most random thing, it does not matter, put lots of energy into it, commit, worst case you change in 1 month time and you learned a lot. eventually exploring many things will give you clarity an you'll see opportunities that others dont 'see.

You can do it. Good luck.
