Just applied to the Platanus hackathon 📝 If you’re around the Chilean startup scene, you probably know Platanus Ventures. They’re a key player here, backing early-stage startups and always working to grow the ecosystem. This time they’re putting on a 36-hour, in-person hackathon. It’ll be one of those intense, no-sleep-just-ship things. I love these kinds of events because the energy is unmatched. We need more of these. To me, they’re not just a place to work on cool products but also a chance to connect with people who are just as crazy, just as passionate. These events are perfect for meeting people, swapping ideas, and seeing what we can create in a short time. Hoping to get in, because connecting in these spaces is always super fun. Let’s see how it goes.

"Coming Out Post" after being silent for some time. Let’s get straight to the point: we’re kicking off a new Web3 venture this season 👉 introducing AlphaMind, the premier fair token launchpad, founded by InnMind and the amazing William McGuire from web3davincis. The "Why" question? Seems in the crowded launchpad space, the true spirit of "Initial DEX Offering" has been lost. Launchpads should foster a loyal community and provide a marketing boost for pre-launch Web3 projects, but instead, they only capture the strongest projects' marketing traction and squeeze founders for insane conditions. This isn't just my opinion; it’s feedback from dozens of founders on InnMind, frustrated by current launchpad conditions & outcomes. This summer, we’re changing the game with AlphaMind: - Authentic Community Engagement: Centered on real, loyal community support, boosted by KARMA incentives. - Comprehensive Support: Beyond fundraising, from early-stage to post-launch. And for InnMind.com? AlphaMind is our first step towards tokenizing and decentralizing InnMind, evolving into a full Web3 project discovery and token launch ecosystem. If you want to support us, join AlphaMind discord https://lnkd.in/es6G3Aaa and learn more in the article here ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eRGeECNp. 💪
🚀 The Alpha Has Dropped! 🚀 The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here! We’re exciting to unveil our latest innovation, built with your needs in mind. Introducing AlphaMind, our cutting-edge web3 launchpad launching in Summer 2024! 💠 Designed by founders for founders 💠 Focused on community power & value for web3 startups 💠 Fair token distribution via our proprietary KARMA system 💠 Comprehensive support from tokenomics to post-launch goals InnMind will continue to support you with access to investors, partners, and experts. AlphaMind expands our mission, becoming your partner through the entire web3 startup cycle. Read our official announcement here ▶️ https://lnkd.in/eRGeECNp Join the discord to learn more about KARMA and $MIND 💎 https://lnkd.in/es6G3Aaa

Whether you are an academic or entrepreneur, you are likely testing out new tools on the regular to realize more efficiency and bandwidth. I came across an innovative tool when deciding on how I was going to conduct research on Gen Z workplace values. I was seeking a tool that would enable me to disseminate a pair wise comparison survey. There are several advantages of pairwise comparison measures in analyzing decision making and preferences. However, constructing one requires selection of the correct algorithmic approach for your purpose. the resultant matrix data is not simple to understand either. It is not realistically possible to implement one in the usual options for survey design (survey monkey, google docs, etc). OpinionX is mastering the robust analysis technique of pairwise comparison. I learned more about how the algorithm works from articles on their website and moved forward with their platform to create my survey. I was on a tight timeline to execute and write my thesis in 10 weeks and this tool made every element manageable- from survey creation to dissemination to data analysis. Daniel responded to my inquiries quickly, and he was able to create custome excel exports of my data for analysis in R. I can attest that this platform works and highly recommend!
10 years ago today, I showed up to Ireland's Student Startup Weekend 2014 as a veeeery nervous 16 year old and experienced my first real introduction to the world of startups. I remember practicing my 60-second pitch the entire train journey from Dublin to Cork for a "music announcements social network" called Rescope. We somehow won best pitch that weekend (from judges Sean O'Sullivan, Pat Phelan and Eamon Leonard) but I never managed to turn Rescope into a real startup... The 10 years since that day feel like a blur now. I've spent the past 4 years building a very different startup (OpinionX, a research tool for measuring customer preferences) with an amazing team and some very cool customers like GitHub, Lionsgate, and Prismic. Most days I feel like I'm deep in the weeds trying to hit our next set of goals or figure out what the next big problem will be. But today feels different — like taking a step back and acknowledging how far I've come from being that nervous teenager sweating about a 60-second hackathon pitch to a real startup founder today with paying customers and a team of employees. I hope the next 10 years include even a fraction of the amount of lessons learned, challenges overcome, and great people as the past 10 years have :)
