This week with a small delay.   🐿 What delay?   🐼 Well, in a startup one day, plus or minus.   🐿 Yeah, I know, right? It’s the same quarter that we initially had planned, so it’s still quarter one. I think we’re on track with this episode.   🐼 Yeah, it’s the same week and the bug in production on our farm app is fixed.   🐿 I mean, it’s the same week, so it means that we are spot on, right?   🐼 Yeah.   🐿 It’s the same sprint.   🐼 Hopefully, we’ll be live in the same week.   🐿 Yeah, hopefully.   🐼 You need to do the description of the episode.   🐿 Yeah.   🐼 No.   🐿 Pressure. I will describe it perfectly in a couple of seconds while I’m uploading the audio to the platform.   🐼 It’s.   🐿 Not going to work out for us.   🐼 Actually, you made quite a good coffee today. What do you plan to grind today? What do you want us to talk about?   🐿 Thank you. We should talk about techniques to validate your startup idea.   🐼 Techniques like by the book?   🐿 Yeah,...

  🐼 PAUL: (HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/PAUL_TIRBAN) It’s Paul.   🐿 FLORIN: (HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/FLORIN_MURESAN) It’s Florin. What are we grinding today?   🐼 What do you think if today we’re grinding how to find a co founder since we are two of us in this podcast.   🐿 Yeah, that sounds great. I guess a lot of people are asking themselves, how am I going to find a co founder?   🐼 Well, I can give you, for example, how I did it in the current startup that I’m involved with. So basically in the previous startup that we failed, we had some bills, a lot of bills to pay. T here was the part in which we need to get some money to pay them. A ctually, I started to work for a client and I built two products for them.   🐿 You’ve had bills to pay and then you’ve started working alone or with your other co founder, with other people to pay the bills?   🐼 With my other co founder, we work on this product, on these two products for this client. Then my previous co founder got hired in a company. After two years of working for this client, they got with a proposal for me to become the partner in their new startup.   🐿 Oh, wow. Who knew that was coming, right?   🐼 Yeah,...

  🐼 PAUL: (HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/PAUL_TIRBAN) It’s Paul.   🐿 FLORIN: (HTTPS://TWITTER.COM/FLORIN_MURESAN) It’s Florin. What are we grinding today? I know. Let’s grind some health tech startups.   🐼 While enjoying a V 60 with Burundi from Square Mile from London.   🐿 Oh, Square Mile. This is going to be an awesome episode.   🐼 Yeah, actually, it would be as awesome as the coffee. So a really, really nice coffee with really Creole notes.   🐿 Yeah. And the plus side, Square Mile is from London.   🐼 Anyway, are you planning to go in the health tech?   🐿 I would definitely like to do that. But as I was grinding all of these ideas about health tech in my head, I was like, I actually want to talk to Paul about this because you’ve got some experience in this area, right?   🐼 Yeah, but while getting there, does a health tech startup need to sell?   🐿 No, I don’t care about it. It’s just like, Hey, what company would you start? I’m browsing the web like everybody does. And I’m like, Hmm, health tech seems to be something these days. Let’s try a health tech startup because that’s what all the cool kids on the block are doing and they seem to get more and more popular. What’s your take on the startups?   🐼...
