This is one of the best #buildinpublic threads I have ever read.

@wefunder is a startup full of incredible human beings and their story is all the proof you need that great companies start with great people willing to persevere through all to build the world as they see it.
As an investor, if you’re right about something many other people are right about, you can make a little money. If you’re right about something most other people are wrong about, you can make a lot of money.
So how do we feel about posting startup pitch decks as twitter threads? #buildinpublic
Startups are hard. #buildinpublic

An amazing investor who would be a dream to work with has offered to lead our round with a $500k check.

Holy shit!

But we're well past where the fund invests, and can't get close enough on valuation.

So I'm passing.
I think we made one of those hockey stick things that everyone keeps talking about! 📈 #startups

Just 44 days left to invest in our pre-seed round

BIG BREAKTHROUGH today

I've been paralyzed by process and all the fires created by running a business

But startups aren't businesses, their experiments.

Experiments cost money, so we're in a race against TIME to PROVE our hypothesis before we run out of money.

Going to try something out on you first, appreciate any feedback #buildinpublic:

"@washbnb is cleaning up sleep by building the most sustainable, repeatable, and healthy way to get a great nights sleep. Step one is eliminating the laundry."

👇🏽 New pitch deck 👇🏽
I promised to #buildinpublic this summer, especially as we roll through @techstars #ATL

Here's a full hour @SlickTalkPod on what we're building, how we're building it, and EXPANSION!!!

Also a lot on #vulnerability #givefirst and #startups

Here's a Sunday #buildinpublic 🧵 around 💰 and why having it helps founders succeed.

Bootstrapping is a great way to get started, and I wouldn't change how we started @washbnb for anything. Lack of $ + pandemic taught us to be resourceful, fast, and resilient.
This is 100% our focus during @techstars

We just laid out 6 strategy & design sprints with goal to "Nail the Model"

Boring for growth but critical to never fail our customers! #buildinpublic
6) If you have this issue, this is a great problem to have!

And you SHOULD spend all your time on the solution to make sure you have what ppl are signing up for.

And solving for that solution usually means you SHOULD spend more time on *product* than on distribution.
Sweet jesus I really love it here #buildinpublic

This just came in through our website @washbnb

Hello,
I understand you are currently not servicing our area - San Antonio.
We currently have 9 properties and expanding to 13 by next month (mix of 1 br - 5br).
More fun #buildinpublic today! Mini🧵(1/5)

We sent our first cold email campaign today to emails we pulled from hotels/BnB's around WI.

Email was very simple, 2 short paragraphs leading with problem then our value props, also that we're #Crowdfunding

Here's the first reply:
There's A LOT of personal sacrifice in #startups

I'm flat broke and turning down $600/night bartending shifts @Bucks to work for free #buildinpublic

The pandemic almost crushed me financially, I went to zero overnight after quiting GE & dumping most savings + IRA into @washbnb
Ya'll I LOVE it here

I don't even know where to start, need to get things sorted out but there's so much happening right now. Too busy to #buildinpublic at this moment but soon.. soon!

Core to each founder individually and the company we are designing
#buildinpublic
3 things every startup should clearly define in the beginning that will help with the direction you go.
