    A Bio-Hacking Discussion: Cold Showers, Nicotine, Cryo, Float Tanks...

    HOT! CHAT 
    Having come out of an incredibly stressful period where I was waking up every 2-3 hours for a couple of YEARS, I was very keen to get my sleep under control. This has worked for me: ZMA: right before bed NMN + Resveratrol: first thing in morning with yogurt(or fat). The biggest change was when...

    AMA - I built a software company worth 8 figures

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION AMA 
    This is actually a pretty good question, and what I'm thinking through right now myself. Right now I know of an industry, that has a need, and I've spoken to multiple companies that have all confirmed that need. My approach is to build a prototype and test it with a friendly in the game. If it...

    $30m business and I'm just a bitch

    HOT! INTRO 
    There's plenty of good comments in this thread to my OP, all of which I have read and thought about, but this elephant is one that keeps me up at night. One which I am actively working around day in / day out. Trying to build a broader management team. To foster a culture of appropriate...

    $30m business and I'm just a bitch

    HOT! INTRO 
    Happy to have stimulated some discussion. $30m, or $3m, it really doesn't matter what we're 'worth'. It only matters what we sell for. For the sake of this discussion I referenced the valuation the corporate advisors and the variety of VCs we worked with generally agreed on. Valuations are...

    Typical valuation multiples in my industry are 8-12x of recurring revenue (subscriptions).

    $30m business and I'm just a bitch

    HOT! INTRO 
    Ultimately I think this is key. With those timeframes I genuinely see myself taking the direct time to build something else when I have the focus - but with a significant safety net and asset base. What I am learning doing what I do daily is very valuable. I'm exposed to so much that I haven't...

    $30m business and I'm just a bitch

    HOT! INTRO 
    I could offload equity though it is likely to 3-4x from here in the next couple of years. Displacing the CEO is difficult as they're a founder. The VC's coming in and taking board seats as well as the necessary change in the business due to the phases we are to pass through are likely to...

    $30m business and I'm just a bitch

    HOT! INTRO 
    I appreciate this post, thanks. Regrets would include the "what if I had seen this through to exit". From that perspective I err on the side of going hell for leather where I am and jumping into another endeavor when I've cashed out.

    $30m business and I'm just a bitch

    HOT! INTRO 
    Good question. I'm indecisive as it's a lot to walk away from. What's stopping me, to be honest, is that I don't know what I'd do otherwise yet. Good advice. I am doing that (not active investments mind you). I have been thinking about buying symbiotic businesses and building other revenue...

    $30m business and I'm just a bitch

    HOT! INTRO 
    I come here to seek advice, admonishment and like-minded souls. I am 3yrs in as 2nd-in-command (non founder) of an emerging tech startup. Roughly a $30m business that's just hit Series B. I have equity in the business (around 3-4%) that's illiquid until exit (goal would be $100m+). I look after...

    What's your job ? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    Software sales. 7-8 years. I've been an Account Exec for 2 of the worlds biggest software companies, as well as the most known cloud software company (where I work today). It is a challenging, creative, ego-levelling life of highs and lows and zero "neutral" time. Highs and winning, or...

    Hello from Australia

    INTRO 
    G'day Nathan, good to see another Aussie here. I'm new and just getting started myself. Armadale is gorgeous - and your men's group stuff sounds interesting. I am a real advocate for men's health and mental wellbeing - so great to see.
