Excited to unveil our firm’s brand theme: superheroes!

Props to @jessicajackley for identifying a theme that so accurately capture our admiration for founders.

A lil walkthrough of our new website πŸ‘‡ Image
Quick note: if you know me well, you won’t be surprised to hear I slapped this together in a night. It’s very much WIP.

We love founders who #buildinpublic, and we show respect to them by following suit.

Now back to the site.
Our tag-line hopefully speaks to founders we want to invest in. Are you a hero?

While I want custom graphics eventually, for a quick build, I bought some vector images and did a color overlay to make them silhouettes. Image

Live-tweeting my #NoCode build of our LP dashboard starting now!

I'll likely be tweeting mostly thought cuz screenshots will slow me down.

It's possible I'll get caught up and stop tweeting. If this thread gets annoying to anyone, just mute it.

Let's go! πŸ‘‡
For a quick background, check out this thread from last night where I share how I decided to use @softr_io on top of our Airtable base.
First thing I did was recreate our super simple website. You can see both here.

Only difference? LP portal log-in at the bottom. ImageImage

1/ Been looking at building an LP portal using #NoCode.

Looked at a dozen tools, closely at 3 (@StackerHQ, @webflow/@MemberstackApp, and @softr_io).

Thought it'd be helpful to share my process πŸ‘‡
2/ For context, we run our fund on @airtable - we have every person, org, startup, LP, perk providers, all in one base.

So when I looked at these tools, I filtered for companies w strong Airtable integration. The two that stood out were Stacker and Softr.
3/ I kept Webflow in there because it's so flexible.

A bit annoying to have to use Memberstack for memberships, but found enough tutorials this wasn't a concern.

Pricing for what I need on Webflow + Memberstack is $61/mo.

The Unbundling of Google Workspace

With the rise of remote work, we saw a huge uptick in collaboration tools, a space I'm tracking closely.

Sharing some interesting trends/startups πŸ‘‡
First trend is seeing docs/spreadsheet/calendar being integrated w each other, which led to the rise in @NotionHQ.

Similar tools that are picking up pace include @clickup and @coda_hq. @SliteHQ is similar.

@navigator @Rendezview_io pulls notes/agendas/etc into mtngs.
Ppl want more efficient note taking, want to capture all of their thoughts, and want to be able to access it easily.

@RoamResearch has a cult following here. @supernotesapp feels like a less intense version of Roam. @AlmanacDocs claims to be the fastest collaborative doc editor.

I've tracked 1500+ startups (seen 10x more) and talked to 100s of investors in the last year.

Here are some of the exciting trends and startups I've noticed or come across. It's a mix of early & late stuff.

Check 'em out πŸ‘‡
#NoCode: This year was big! @airtable & @zapier are king, then @webflow & @bubble. Tools that sit on top include @MemberstackApp/@memberspace (memberships), @StackerHQ (app), @obviouslyai & @levityai (AI/ML). Jump to @makerpad to learn more about this space.
#Productivity: @NotionHQ looms large. @coda_hq & @clickup have a bit more data capabilities. @retool to go straight to your back-end. @raycastapp & @getcommande are like @Superhuman UI for your mac. @commanddot_ for calendar. @usemotion for browser

1/ How to create a Google Trends for X using Zapier & Airtable πŸ‘‡

I recently set one up to monitor unique keyword trends in ProductHunt so will use that as an example. #nocode
2/ First you set up your Airtable.

First sheet is to capture the main data, in this case PH data.

In this sheet, create a linked column, and create a new table called keywords (multiple allowed).
3/ Then jump to Zapier, your trigger should be your data source. Can be RSS, webhook, etc. in this case PH. I’m pulling all new products.

You can do this for internal tools too, like notes from your CRM.
