Hi everyone! I'm working on an early-stage, bootstrapped research organization and startup studio called Better. We research the best ways to improve different areas of life, answering questions like: "do multivitamins work?," "how can people best overcome procrastination?," and "is there a catch with 5%–10% annual interest with crypto interest accounts?" When we find gaps in the world that could help a lot of people if addressed, we build products and services to address those gaps.
Recently, we've been building B2C/B2B apps in the productivity and tools for thought space. We've been handling all of the design, development, and product work and are interested in partnering up with people that can help take the lead on particular ventures as we launch them, or at least help them gain additional users and find better product-market fit. Open to various collaboration models (particularly revenue share) and working with people in additional ways as well (design, research, etc.).
Here are some of our most developed ventures:
Sleek - An email app designed to radically reduce the amount of time people spend on email, with features like grouping emails by sender (allowing someone to archive/move all emails from a certain sender at once) and automatically organizing future emails from a sender into particular labels. Gearing up for a public launch. Here's a demo on Reddit.
Merit - A Chrome Extension that helps you get better search results on Google and read higher-quality content online by analyzing the quality of writing on websites (and also a prototype topical search engine). In the middle of gaining alpha/beta feedback from users.
Cosmic - A highly advanced knowledgebase app designed to leapfrog Notion, Roam, Obsidian, etc. Includes features like representing knowledge in much better ways (with page types and inheritance, types and directions of relationships between pages, and metadata for pages), instantly publishing any knowledgebase as a public website, and real-time team editing. Currently in development.
Let me know if you'd like to discuss potentially collaborating on any of them, or on Better itself as a whole! Edit: feel free to email me at [email protected]!
Hi Brendon , I would like to know about these products and i think these tools are going to very useful and i definitely want be a part of these projects. Giving a knock in your email , give a response so that we can take the talk further.
Hey Brendon, this is really cool, I love the collab-oriented approach, and dig the product niche. I see you dropped your email in here already, so I'll shoot you a note over there!
Sweet, awesome to see you're interested in productivity and PKM as well. Responded and looking forward to chatting!
Hey @brendonwong, this sounds great. I will pitch our service here as it seems to me that this could be a perfect match.
We can help you find a growth manager/fractional CMO and back him up with virtual team consisting of people with the skillset and background needed to provide the job with professionals on all levels. At the same time we will provide frameworks and tools securing smooth cooperation and laser focus on your desired goal.
This way you will get a full stack marketing team having the right background and skillset for each of your products.
If you'd like to know more, let's schedule a quick 20-minute call and find out whether it would really be a match and whether we're able to help you: https://calendly.com/oos-digital-consultation/20-min
I assume this is a recruiting service or something? I don’t think we have the budget for that right now.
Nah, it's rather a growth agency. I don't know what your budget is but we can set the strategy to start with the low hanging fruits, so you have some revenue first and then the future activities can be paid by the first results. However, yes, you need to have some initial budget 🙂
I'm interested!!!!
Awesome! You can email me at [email protected] to discuss collaborating!
Looks cool
Thank you! :)
Sent you an email. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sounds good, already responded!
I am interested to know more about better and collaborate. How can I reach out to you? Thanks!
Cool! Feel free to email me at [email protected]
