The Daily Loop newsletter focuses on information that can be consumed in 2 minutes every day by linking to posts across the internet, formatted in a way that is easy for anyone to navigate. In a 3-2-1-1 design (quotes, short-form content, long-form content and advice).
The goal is for as many people to read this daily and inspire them to think differently about certain things. It will primarily be around topics and industries I am interested in such as: startups, ai, success, innovation, change, crypto, nfts, etc.

Battlebit is a game created by a team of 4 over 7 years. An amazing indie success. Most recently we had another game called Only Up! too.
You don’t need to be a big company to create a great game.

Golden advice in this thread. A lot of the points circle around one thing: The startup is the team.
Great teams can build anything. So build a great team if you want to build a great startup.
1 piece of advice from me
I’ve said this before but one thing I’ve realised as a first-time founder and speaking to other successful founders is that you have to make major decisions when building something. You won’t be sure what the answer is, but you have to take big risks.
You should be worried if you suddenly realise that there are no risks being taken when building a startup.
