😎 New Tools for Founders to Show Off
GM Founders,
Welcome back to Kernal: the "hey Siri" for startup ideas that Steve Jobs never built.
We grew plenty of grey hairs this week: S&P 500 got clapped, crypto got cranked and lay-offs were felt. If your diamond hands are sweating, you ain't alone. But you can be certain bout' 1 thing: there couldn't be a better time to be a builder. Forget about the news headlines for a sec and chew on this. If you've got a:
- validated startup idea
- that a niche community wants
- and a MVP you can build from your basement
You got nothing to worry about. In fact, you're in the best place you could be. And the world is your oyster. Ignore the negative nancy's. And let's. Keep. Building. 🚀
Today's Menu:
- ⚒️ New tools for founders to show off their work
- 🤝 Juicy startup ideas of the week you should pounce on
- 👀 Angel investing events and cheat sheets
Lace up your all birds friends, b/c today's issue is gonna take you for a spin.
