🍾 2022 Kernal Wrapped
Hey Builders,
There's 48 hours 'till 2023. You ready to clink glasses?
As we wrap up another year, we wanted to look back on all the amazing times we shared together. Most of that gratitude comes down to the people AKA you.
And if you're curious, we clicked this handy dandy button that turned all of your Kernal profiles into a nice summary bubble. WDYT of it below? 🌱
We've seen remarkable ideas, unique conversations, and amazing friendships form. We've helped each other validate questions and celebrate wins. Most importantly, we've enjoyed some first-class belly laughs thanks to Joel's MemeFactory.
📈 The Numbers Recap
- MVPS at 300+
- Total ideas 1900+
- 588 this year
- 390 progress updates
- 60% of support requests were responded to and sometimes within minutes of the request going out and that's pretty cool.
🚀 The Build In Public Recap
You've had fun w/ us on social...
28 days ago I shared an idea on @kernal_ideas
— Milly Tamati - generalist.world👾 (@MillyTamati) June 28, 2022
Today I have:
~130 community members
A generalist directory of 20+ people
30+ generalist-friendly jobs posted
2.8k website visitors
A hardship fund
First $500 in recurring rev
And, I'm just getting started 🥳#startupgeneralist
Startup Idea: Home-share between close circles. Like Airbnb but an agreement between 12 friends in different cities. Each home has to be approved by all. Save money, less paradox of choice - plan trips based on other trips elsewhere. Likely already happens offline. @kernal_ideas

Here's a round-up of our favourite moments of the year:
- Introduced the Kernal Ambassador program
- Tried new things that didn't work for the community, bye bye Discord, hello Telegram. Bye-bye Twitter Spaces (for now) and hello AMA's
- Released the Member directory and DMs
- Made it easier to Ask the Experts with Support Requests and Founder CheckIn
Had a great conversation with @alexisgrant this afternoon. I've been following her media project @TheyGotAcquired from just an idea on @kernal_ideas to the successful recent launch. Even featured in the NYT. That's how you execute. 🚀
