    End of January

    Validate an idea. Maybe two.

    Yesterday

    ✓ Biomo: Cofounder woes, as partner in crime tapped out of Venture Out.
    ✓ Biomo: Conducted final interview for the week.
    ✓ Biomo: Completed write up for Venture Out.
    ✓ Biomo: Accepted into Venture Out. (Yep. Yesterday was a roller coaster.)

    Today

    Biomo: Decide whether to pursue Biomo on my lonesome.
    Biomo: Schedule meeting with Venture Out to discuss concerns.

      Congrats on Venture Out! Remember the Dropbox guy started as a solo founder in the beginning. You'll have the opportunity to partner up during your crime spree. Just keep your eyes open for accomplices along the way. ;-)

        Me too. This shit takes time esp when your labor depends on clients, customers or the market responsiveness to gauge your performance.

      Is TinyDevCRM a new project? (Smiling) CRM for Devs under 5'4? How did you validate?

        Yeah it's a new project! I'm building it as a personal platform and sharing it amongst the software engineering community. I have a coming soon page here: https://tinydevcrm.com

        Honestly I haven't done too much validation, and software engineers are notoriously finicky about things so I'm not sure how the final product is going to be received, but I did post one link to the page and 46 people signed up in ~48h to be early adopters against an expected 10-15 :)

        I'm mostly building this for myself to address my own needs, and I'm really picky even amongst my SWE friends, so hopefully if I like it others will like it too :)

      RescueTime statistics: 7h 49m (88% productive)

      Stopped working on Chapter 16 / 31 questions early on and marked as review later, worked mostly through Chapter 17 / 31 but still have some amount to do tomorrow. Will just keep chugging along I guess.
