Oh man - i've been watching you guys for awhile. We're YC too and building a superapp for sales ppl. Any killer use cases you've seen or imagined for sales (outside of prospecting vid customization?

I strongly recommend people give this a try. Its got so many quality of life features (like picture in picture).

Just Weta FX - those were the guys and gals that used Weta tooling for producing films and such. Not Weta Tools - those are the guys and gals building and maintaining the Weta tools

I was going to come here and say exactly this at the risk of being flamed. Love seeing this at the top

Very cool. We're working on something similar but we went more narrow because its really hard to unravel the business context from just the data alone. Ours is ponyrun.ai if you want to check it out. Also open to chat and share learnings if you're open to it.

Ive seen data sets like this and they've been bad. My main issues have been that dataset isn't kept updated, theres no sense of proportion (e.g. is 1% of the team java or 50%), and there's often not enough companies in the dataset.

So bad that I probably wouldn't buy this data without some proof that its good data

Awesome - lots of potential here.

Lots of folks are asking "who is this for?". I think that's because the people that should use this don't know that they should yet. And it's probably missing the hotel/car angle too.

This would let people like planners (e.g. destination wedding), events (e.g. festivals), and the like simplify and make money through the entire customer experience/journey.

Good luck!

Does this hold true if you charge $150 for lifetime license vs $50?

I think you have a pricing problem. This is what I see for you:

Subscription Monthly = $84 / year

Subscription Annual = $50 / year

Lifetime = $50 One Time

If I see myself using this for about half a year, I'm just going to get a lifetime sub.

Congrats on the launch. YC W22 founder who loves gaming and used to work in the gaming industry here. Love the concept and I'm excited to see how you guys grow

There's data providers that sell this info.

If you didn't put it on LinkedIn, the spam callers got it through different ways (sales tooling, direct from data providers, leaks, etc.) If you're putting your phone number out anywhere (even in the signature of your email), they're collecting that info and selling it

Yeah - we've (usenimbus.com - a company in this space) have heard the same about Jetbrains IDEs. You should check out our extension (or others') because there's been a lot of work put into making performance better.

M1s are a mixed bag for this way of working. Pre-M1, devs were running into local computing power issues. Post-M1, more compatibility and stability issues.

Thats definitely one way to do it. Im a founder at a remote dev infra startup (usenimbus.com) and this was the model we started with because it was just so simple. But we quickly learned theres no one size fit all solution so expanded into supporting containers, terraform, etc.

>> you need to lack alternatives

I dont believe this. Went through YC this year and many of the founders had great alternatives. You could say that none of the alternatives were as attractive... but thats how all decisions are made

No but even if true, being stupid doesn't mean they should get scammed
