In this episode of Startups, the Rest of us, Rob and I are going to be talking about how to respond to customer suggestions.

This is Startups for the Rest of us, episode 436.

Welcome to Startups The Restifice.

The podcast helps developers, designers, and entrepreneurs be awesome at building,

launching, and growing software products. Whether you built your first product or you're just thinking about it. I'm Mike. And I'm Rob. We're here to share our experiences to help you avoid the same mistakes

we've made. What's worth this week, Rob? Things are going good. We're in the midst of interviewing and

talking with founders who have applied to be part of Tiny Seed. As I mentioned before,

there's quite a few applicants to go through and having a lot of conversations. And we're coming

up on our kind of our mental deadline of when we want to get everybody on board. And so we

have started making offers to founders as, as things come together and as it

becomes obvious that we're a mutual fit for each other. Because that's the thing. It's not just,

it's not just do they have the chops or do they have the traction, you know, to get in, but it's like,

are we going to be able to help them? Like, are they a fit for us? And I think that I'm trying to do

as much evaluation of them as I'm trying

to do of us, you know, in that we've had some folks apply who have traction, but it's like,

I just don't know that we can help you. You know, it's businesses that are perhaps outside of our

expertise, outside of our mentor's expertise. So all that said, we do, we have had five companies accept offers,

which feels really good, just to kind of start making that, you know, making our way towards that.

And MicroConf's coming up here real soon. It's about a week and a half away from when we're

recording. So, and then I'm actually out in London the following week with the family. So there's,

it just feels like there's a lot going on right now.

Yeah, for sure.
