Time to make it official. ✧
Last weekend I launched the first version of
@foundersmenu
(prev. bootstrap. supply). The goal? Build a new kind of members platform, where founders get all they need to take action – from idea to scale.
Storyline follows ↓

I think it’s more about the accuracy of language. A startup is a temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model according to Steve Blank. A business on the other hand has a fixed business model it runs on.

Tbh. Traditional “stores of value” are technically no different. You hold a dollar that points to the central bank and only has value based on the system participants. What’s worse, your name isn’t attached nor is it backed by anything. Gold ditto. NFTs are at least evolution.
