Do you enjoy it? If so, maybe consider a role where this is a key contribution. It sounds like at some level, you're good at it and naturally inclined to think this way. If you enjoy it lean into it and be excellent.
Where things get difficult is if you're trying to be a founder/creator and you have perfectionist thinking. That gets you into a negative cycle where you're neither productive (velocity) or satisfied with quality. You have to learn to detach yourself from judgement and focus on actions that drive more important outcomes.
Yes, the game supports most Bluetooth speed, heart rate, cadence, and power sensors, as well as most smart trainers and smart bikes. There is currently no support for fans or grade simulators.
Thanks! Please consider my humble feature requests:
-Full support for Wahoo device ecosystem
-Apple TV app (this is a deal breaker for me)
My current setup - right now I use zwift on apple TV which connects to a wahoo cadence sensor, rpm sensor, HRM, kickr rollr smart trainer, kickr smart fan. Also have a SRAM power meter connected.
You probably already know this, but Apple TV has some limitations on simultaneous bluetooth connections so you have to use workarounds (for example zwift has a separate smartphone app that bridges the ATV and the devices).
Good luck, and let me know if you'd like any help with product or marketing.
Thank you for your input, Steven. AppleTV is high on the roadmap for future product updates. Regarding your Wahoo sensors, they are all supported (except for the fan). I am not 100% sure about the SRAM power meter since there is some variation in the way different vendors support the Bluetooth sensor specification, so that is something you would need to try out. I would greatly appreciate your feedback if you ever have the chance to try the game.
Angelist is legit. Syndicates and even VC stakeholders aren't always on-point with what's going on in a company. Take it with a grain of salt. They're human beings and have many irons in the fire (keep that in mind with risk mitigation).
This would not be productive. Investors who come in throught mechanisms like this (SPV) do not appear on the companies cap table and would not directly interact with a startups IR team. This is normal for this type of investment.
There are multiple use cases besides the obvious/primary ones of being an alternative means of permissionless value transfer and enabling novel distributed trading instruments (DEFI).
Example: Figure (providing home equity loans) used provenance chain for backend functions such as origination, securitization, and lifecycle management. Many of the "business" use cases are in these opaque areas such as settlements.
When you see knee-jerk comments “tHeRe’s nO uSe CaSe” it’s understandable that most people don’t know what they don’t know about the backend of finance. Yes, there’s a lot of bullshit in the space, and there’s also a lot of valid infrastructure being built. It’s not going away.
I've raised twice in previous startups and currently work as a consultant with experience doing this kind of work.
You don't need to subscribe to any expensive data sources. These are more relevant for management consultants and senior execs working on strategy a bit further down the line.
At early stage - incubators and investors just want to know how well you understand the competitive environment, your vision of the space, and your progress (product/customers). You can piece all that together using publicly available data and first hand knowledge.
Thanks, this was particularly interesting "These are more relevant for management consultants and senior execs working on strategy a bit further down the line."
I use a google voice number. Spouse uses a skype number. Over 10 years as an expat in multiple countries. Keep a small amount of balance in your account to keep the number active. Works fine with 2-factor for pretty much anything. Does -not- work for KYC US identity validation.
