It's been 1 month since I joined the team at UpSlide... In my previous roles, nearly every company I worked with listed boosting productivity as a top business objective.   This has become even clearer to me now, especially for labour-intensive financial services firms.   For them, enhancing day-to-day efficiency is crucial — not just to save individual time (and cut costs) but to redirect that time towards more revenue-generating tasks.    Of course, there are obvious tips like email management, limiting distractions, etc.   But more and more, companies are looking towards better tech adoption as a way to help their team automate repetitive tasks (via tools like UpSlide 😉)   Looking forward to helping teams do just that!

The Short of It: Why You Should Work for Graylog, Inc. (and especially for me). Let's talk about GameStop, meme stocks, and getting rich quickly. What this post is not: yet another showdown between generations (X vs Millennials vs Z). I do believe we are evolving as a society - whether for good or bad - and that perspective depends a lot on how you grew up and your own entrenched beliefs. Despite all that, we're simply folks riding in the next cart that's about to be ushered down the roller coaster. Things are generally evolving in a certain way through factors much larger than we can impact individually. Whatever your mentality - we're all going there together. I realized the other day that the younger generation has an entirely different perspective on investing than I do - so extreme it defies almost all of our engrained principles of investing (probably laws of physics too). While there were always degrees of freedom in investment philosophies - it's wild to see what's happening today. It took only one image from #RoaringKitty for GameStop to go on a wild tear that entrapped everyone, including celebs, influencers, and the like. Why does such virality have enormous sway in our daily existence? It would be one thing if this is random, but my realization is it's not. It's everywhere. This is nothing new of course, but I'll say the cost here is that folks are dropping in at the top and crashing to the bottom in most cases. That crash is impactful in many different ways - mostly financially but also taking a significant mental toll as well. I don't think we can avoid the roller coaster, but perhaps one way to manage is to simply note we're on a longer ride. That we're indeed headed somewhere after the ups and downs. That really is where I want to end up - looking forward to where we're headed - defining that purpose that can help you get through that roller coaster. I was a paperboy at the ripe old age of 12 years old (40 years ago). Back then, it was important that I delivered the news to everyone. Part of the joy for me was receiving tips as I went door-to-door collecting newspaper fees. Looking backwards, I can rationalize that better - those tips represented my value to the distribution chain. Today, it's building a company where employees can thrive and can be proud of where they work. I'm hoping they all have found a sense of purpose. If not - they all know I have an open door policy to have a discussion (I run the People team as well). If they have a sense of purpose - I'm thinking everything tastes a little sweeter, the sun is a bit shinier, and there's a lot to look forward to. Here's the self-serving part: Graylog, Inc. is hiring. Most specifically, my team is hiring a Staff Accountant in the Houston area. If you want to hear about what we're building, hit me up. https://lnkd.in/d9TPKghk

🛠️ It's Tech Tip Tuesday! 🚀 This week we asked our Tech Support Manager what his most crucial tech tip is: Surround yourself with an awesome team. 🙌 Because let's face it, little gets done without the efforts of extraordinary people around you. 💡 #TechTipTuesday #TeamEffort #MachineEthics

Last week, I sold my first SaaS in less than a year. Here is how I did it 👇 1. Find an SME (subject matter expert) or be the SME. People often talk about "product-market fit" but "founder market fit" is much more critical. If a Founder is good for the market, they can continuously iterate and be passionate about the product. In the case of Dataghost, I had previous experience working with email infrastructure at Minerva Analytics. And then we actually brought on Jesse Ouellette as an SME during our build. 2. Create a group of superfans or beta testers We created a WhatsApp group of 50 power users where we loaded up their accounts with free credits. They got free usage and we received feedback, bug reports, and product ideas. This made product development 10x faster You can create your own community of early adopters through a group chat, Twitter DMs, or use an existing community (more on that below). 3. Partner with other builders and communities Jessie Lizak with her Whiskey WinsDay community helped us get our first 100 users. We were sponsors on the Wednesday show and this allowed us to get the initial traction. This cut down our CAC and allowed us to focus on the product. Partnering with an existing community is a win-win. The community gets value from free credits or exclusive usage. The product gets exposure and early users. 4. Don't wait to launch We launched Dataghost before we had Stripe or any type of payment ready. Our early product had bugs and issues. But we found if your product is good, people will use it regardless of the little bugs. Found this useful? Follow 👉 DJ Kim for more on early-stage startups.
