Start Doing Sh**t
The most common reason why most people fail because they never start.
Late this year, I decided to start documenting my journey as an entrepreneur/founder. There are a lot of reasons behind this time consuming design. But the main reason I’m doing this because I just want to register what I do, the thought process behind building EvryThink, and try to either help or inspire someone to do the same.
Hey if I can do it, wearing 1000 hats, anyone can.
This week I posted a video about our first day at WebSummit. This was actually the second day from the event but we skipped day one (we all skip leg-day).
From the activation events (things the startups can apply to do to promote themselves a bit) we ended up doing the Pitch competition, where startups have 3 min to pitch their startup to a panel. The award, not much really.
And obviously, those who know me would know that I don’t really do that kind of stuff, and that I would use it instead to promote the startup. I went to the stage with 4 slides, a title, that looks cool, a second slide with a QR code so viewers can create accounts.
We “pitched” for 3 min in front of 100 or more people and we got more than a few users in our platform.
The idea of going to WebSummit was kind of spontaneous. I already had plans to be at Lisbon for that week for very personal reasons, so when I saw WS was in the same week, we decided to apply.
We got accepted, paid the fee and 🛫
And as I’m documenting all, I did a video about the pre-pre-preps for WebSummit where we get to go with the crew to visit our favorite spots in Lisbon.
We are offering 50% discount on our yearly plan use the code EVRYFRIEND.
I’ve been creating videos, filming, editing, and all of the above for quite some time now, I think close to 6 years. Not for me (only a few) but for my partner in life, amazing artist and human being.
But when it comes to me I want to experiment. Sometimes with good results, sometimes with bad results.
I will do a full video about what I think about WebSummit and if this is something I would recommend to other founders. Spoilers: for the most part, I would say no. But it depends on the situation
