Needish

Estuve muy cansado. Caí sobre unas zapatillas yendo al baño. Me tocó una corriente eléctrica en la ducha. Pronto descubrí que alguien había entrado a mi pieza en la noche para teñir toda mi ropa azul. Una lata considerando las reuniones importantes que tuve esta mañana. Bajé rodando por la escalera después de haberme olvidado del primer escalón. Cuando me despierto de la inconsciencia, revisando mis varias heridas, noto que un perro se está meando sobre mi pie derecho. Lo veo pero no lo siento por que mi pie derecho todavía esta en la escalera. Lejos de donde me ha (Read more)

From a theoretical standpoint I guess it always is. So saying that launch day is getting closer is likely to be as irrelevant – or of no interest at all – as saying that the future comes closer every day. So let me re-phrase that and say that launch-day is getting relatively really close. And THAT… is about time (understatement).

I don’t know if it’s us or if it always takes 6 months from decision to launch a fairly simple web-site. Anyway it’s frustrating, extremely frustrating. Right now we are approaching serious Chilean corporations with our cute little value-propositions, asking (Read more)

I am only minutes away from trusting my life in the hands of Lan Chile, as many times before. Lan, to me even though I am not a great "computin", means Local Area Network. Considering how long this flight is I think Gan Chile, Global Area Network would be a better name. Or Global Air Network. This blogpost, however, has nothing to do with Lan Chile and everything to do with making potential investors understand that I can play with words. I am not saying it

Kafka said something like: “The light in the tunnel could be a train”. But Kafka was a depressed anti-social poet, wasn’t he? I saw the NEEDISH-light today. On a secret location, somewhere in the mighty djungle called the World Wide Web we have hidden a link to the test-server where the first version of NEEDISH is being built. Digital guards are surrounding the area and only the wholy 7 (the team) is allowed to enter the future. Today I logged on and… I guess test-drove is a proper word. If NEEDISH was a car today, would have been the day (Read more)

In Sweden on May first we sometimes say… or rather… in Swedish we say (sometimes abroad): “Maj maj måne jag kan lura dig till Skåne”. I would consider it the bad sequel to April fools. I guess we just love to make fun of people in Sweden. It makes sense. No one is ever angry over here, so you can get away with pretty much anything. Maj maj måne, however, I think lost traction for two reasons:  

1) Second mover’s disadvantage (never heard about it, but I imagine there must such a disadvantage… otherwise no one would have the first (Read more)

Chile was a great experience. We got feedback (again and again and again) saying our idea is just brilliant. Easy yet brilliant. However our offer is pre-mature. We thought of sending updates to interested parties at this stage but after going through the whole situation we decided on letting things roll on the way they are for a little while longer. Still hoping to close some micro-deals (not exceeding a total of 5% of the company) this month, but we will work on our lure (=Business Plan version 2.0) before we go for big fish again. It makes sense. The product (Read more)
