The reason why so many founders are finding success in B2B SaaS is because of how slow incumbent organizations move.

It's expensive to create the simplest of software within these established walls. You can't just get started hacking on the cheap as there's a bunch of bureaucratic boxes that need to...

For all our drinking and cooking, we use reverse-osmosis   water . We get this through three three gallon refillable jugs that we take to our little grocery store. Most times we only refill two jugs at a time. Some days it's one. Rarely it's all three. But most times a...
