Startup Life
January 25th, 2008 by Chris
Working at a startup is a unique experience. There is a constant thrum of finding ways to do more with less. At its best, time seems to slow down - something like living “dog years”, every day feels like a week, a week feels like a month, etc. If you look at the size of the mountain and the shovel, it feels like the mountain won’t move in the moment. After a few “dog years”, you find the mountain has moved cross country.
I’m sharing this because startups that work on custom hardware have the same resource constraints as any other startup - you have to make up with energy and desire what you don’t have in dollars or people. In those environments, you don’t have time to do it twice, you have time to do it right.
Getting an early look at implemented hardware before you commit to build it can make the difference between success and failure of a new design, and in a startup the product itself. The startup guys I talk to all recognize this from the school of hard knocks.
Now for the shameless plug - GateRocket makes product that puts hardware debug in the hands of software simulation pilots. buy cialisbuy cialisbuy levitrabuy levitrabuy propeciabuy propeciabuy somabuy somabuy levitrabuy cialisbuy propeciabuy levitrabuy somabuy cialisbuy propeciabuy levitrabuy somabuy cialisbuy levitrabuy propeciabuy soma
