while (!heaven) {hell(“”audio startup realities””);
As our AI overlords empower us to disempower ourselves, we're thrust into an increasingly barren and intoxicating landscape littered with the rotting corpses of hopeful dreamers.
I was one of those naïve dreamers, and while I am not dead (yet), I share my journey across the heavenly hellscape of this industry to help you survive.
This is my story as an audio startup founder. From humble beginnings at my kitchen table, to the dizzying heights of Abbey Road boardrooms and VC meetings.
I share advice and inspiration for individuals building audio products, including:
- Reality check: Risk and reward in your venture. Are you delusional, or have you seen something everyone overlooked? Clarifying the blurred line between confidence and delusion.
- Future-proofing your business: How to build products and communities that survive the onslaught of AI slop. How to create a unique identity that AI systems cannot easily replicate. We’ll also pick through some rotting corpses (case studies of failed ventures).
- Maximising your potential: Development strategy, product design frameworks, and tech philosophy to make your life easier.
- Staying sane, safe, and stable: How to protect your mental health through the harsh and confusing realities of audio industry startups. Why balance is vital for business success and how tech-bro advice leads to failure.
- You have a bottle neck: I don't mean that as an insult, but I can help you fix it...
