Jim

made a substantial difference in the way I'm able to approach this opportunity that Jim and I have is the fact that when I was working at Uber, my intention was to build up roughly 10 years of living expenses so I can just hit the ground running for 10 years.

So even if I failed constantly for 10 years straight, I can at least pay for my cost of living in a relatively frugal way.

Yeah, we wanted to start building very simple tools that can help founders just as a form of lead generation.

The one we have in mind so far is there's this calculator known as the Slicing Pie Equity Calculator.

And I just wanted to create a simple version of it that's free.

It's just so people can figure out what's the appropriate split for equity amongst founders in various startup situations.

Right now, zero.

Our current priority is not so much SaaS, but we think that once we have sufficient profit, reinvesting our team's talent into SaaS is a no-brainer.

Yeah, for a lot of early founders, the most important thing to them is their time.

Effectively, the time is what either makes or breaks their company.

And if they're trying to save a couple hundred dollars by hiring someone directly, it eats up a lot of their focus.

Favorite online tool?

Um, it's not so much directly related to building the company, but I really like Airtable for organizing stuff.
