Contentful was born several years ago (back then as StorageRoom) through Show HN:
Comment · 10 years ago
In 2011 I did a Show HN for a project called StorageRoom (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2616041) and got some interesting feedback.
Five years, a name change and a complete rewrite later Contentful (https://www.contentful.com) has raised a Series B (total funding close to $20m), got ~100 employees and customers ranging from Jack in the Box, over Nike to Urban Outfitters.
It's been a wild ride, and it doesn't look like it's going to be over anytime soon :)

For experienced engineers it would be around 40-70k Euro. Depending how experienced you really are, how the demand for the language is (e.g. higher for iOS), on the stage of the company and how much equity you get.
You need to factor in the cost of living when comparing this to US or UK salaries. For 600 Euro/month you will get a nice multi-room apartment in a central area without sharing it with anybody else. Lunch in a restaurant is about 5 Euro and food in supermarkets probably the highest quality for the cheapest price anywhere.

This is not at all about taking notes? It is about managing todos and events on paper?
Does anybody have a good system for taking notes during a meeting on paper? I prefer digital tools, but recently I've been doing many presentations with screen-sharing, where I cannot type at my computer.

As I'm getting more into sales I've just read a couple of books about the topic.
SPIN Selling is one of them but as an engineer I liked Solution Selling by Michael Bosworth even more, as it gives you a similar, but even more detailed process to follow.

The first MVP, which was back then still a personal project, was on "Show HN" about 2 years ago:

A lot has changed since then. There's a new name and now an amazing team behind all of this.
We'd love to hear your opinions on the new platform.

StorageRoom - Berlin, Germany - H1b -----------------------------------
We’re building a cloud-based Content Management platform that’s targeted at developers. We just received funding from prestigious VCs (unannounced).
You say Content Management sucks? That’s exactly what we think, and we see a huge opportunity to do something completely different that plays well with HTML5/JS and native mobile apps. The initial version of our platform is already used by hundreds of customers, from major global media companies to small development agencies (e.g. Viacom).
We already have a team of incredible developers that are working on the next generation of our service. We are looking for a JS dev to join us (Node + Angular).
Interested? Please send an email to [email protected] and I can tell you more.
