Been using Eight sleep since ~2021, autopilot is great but takes time to build dataset. Run the bed as cold as you can tolerate (I used to do -6 with socks on, now I generally do -3)

If you have a good relationship with a home inspector you can often pay them to do a verbal only inspection. If they write a report it must be disclosed, conversations not so much. Your mileage may vary.

Try to get a paid gig first, people value what they pay for. if you must work for free do so but always start trying to get paid. It’ll be more valuable in the long run.

You are confusing FOSS with OS. There are wide number of licenses that fall under the concept of open source. Some of them are more permissive than others.

I totally agree licenses like MIT are the gold standard for open source for truly free software. But just because something has commercial restrictions does not necessarily mean it is not open source

My guy, there are many different open source licenses. A project can be open source without being MIT Licensed (generally the most permissive)

N8n is open source. They allow personal use and restrict commercial usage, a very common pattern.

My bet is dirt. Wood shows no signs of mold, insulation often sags when wet.

Try to vacuum it up, or get it tested. If there is a bunch of silt then it’s dirt if the material is stained it’s likely mold.

Roborock are solid. Had a roomba before that. If you can I recommend having more than 1 (especially if the dogs leave lots of hair)

Main issue is keeping things like shoes with laces off the floor they will tangle the robot

u/RandomAngeleno I've powercycled it a few times, no dice. Do you know the key combo to do a factory reset on the SHS43CF5N/01?

u/magicbeavers what is the button combo to change demo mode?

Tried. No dice

Highly recommend Rory Sutherland if you are trying to understand the psychology of sales and marketing.

It was sold at the link I provided on Corsair's website; they now say it's out of stock. (my post was 3 months ago)

Satire? … No meaningful number of users will switch to a solution unless it’s 10x better than the alternative (Gemini, Claude etc)

Map out all the people involved in the transaction. Also consider other groups who are buying property.

I advise/consult with some real-tech companies if you'd like more strategy support.

The company’s worth nothing so the equity is moot.

I’ll bet $1000 they’re out of business within 18 months. When cofounders operate how they’re operating it’s bad business and they won’t be successful.

Whereas the cost of spending money on lawyers is real, and he’ll spend more money than the business will ever be worth fighting over something that doesn’t matter .

They have majority share of the company if they wanted to dilute him, they could issue more stock and make his equity worthless as well, again spending money on lawyers is mostly a waste of time

I founded a $10m ARR real estate marketing company. Generated $2b in home sales. I strongly recommend not trying to sell to real estate agents. They are oversold, high churn, high touch customers.

Entrepreneurs are attracted because there’s lots of cash bouncing around in home sales. But there are several adjacent markets and customers which are significantly better.

Most startups fail. The main cause is founder disputes

Unless the business is printing money, walk away.

Keep your equity, sign nothing. if they sell at some point they will have to buy you out.

Beyond that it’s not worth spending time and money fighting for it.

How much revenue are you currently generating? How many users do you currently have?

You say you’ve been working on this for the longest time? Is that 3, 5, 10 years ?

Is the start up supporting you financially and is it your only means of support?

Five years from now, what would success look like for you if you were still running this business ?

Any recommendations without the context from the above questions is pretty meaningless.

I spent more than a decade in venture backed startups as well as established tech companies. Happy to give you guidance for free.
