Why I Won’t Be Buying Your Startup’s Services at Web Summit (But Still Want to Talk)
Web Summit is just around the corner. I’ve received a lot of invitations for a cup of coffee somewhere in the summit pavilions. Most of these invites are from startups about the size of Improvy OÜ or just a bit larger.
They simply didn’t know that I don’t have the money to pay for their cool solutions, because Improvy OÜ is like an old-school, garage-style Valley startup that I’m bootstrapping and funding myself, saving every cent.
Anyway, I’ll be happy to chat about technology, startups, AI, crypto, and other modern cool stuff, but I don’t need your services (at least not yet).
