A story about finding freedom by solving problems others ignored—on purpose.For SaaS founders tired of feature bloat—and wondering if serving fewer people better might be the smarter path to freedom.Most SaaS companies fail because they try to please everyone.They fail because they spread themselves across every platform, every feature request, every shiny opportunity.Samy Dindane, CEO of Hypefury, took a different path.He spotted a gap nobody else cared about—Twitter thread scheduling—and built a prototype in three days. Instead of raising money or hiring fast, he chose freedom through focus.And this inspired me to invite Samy to my podcast. We explore how deliberate constraints create stronger businesses. Samy shares hard-won insights about platform dependence, community-driven development, and knowing when to say no. You'll discover why his users became product owners and how charging more actually made customers happier.We also zoom in on two of the 10 traits that define remarkable software companies: – They acknowledge they can't please everyone – They master the art of curiositySamy's story is proof that sustainable freedom comes from saying no to good opportunities—not just bad ones.Here's one of Samy's quotes that captures his philosophy:"Whatever time you spend on something, you don't spend on something else. So whatever time you're going to try to build something crazy for another platform, it's the time you're not spending improving."By listening to this episode, you'll learn: Why power users matter more than market sizeWhat happens when the platform you depend on demands $500K yearly When adding features becomes a liability Why your best product managers pay you monthlyFor more information about the guest from this week: Guest: Samy Dindane, CEO HypefuryWebsite: hypefury.comWant to dig deeper into the 10 traits of remarkable SaaS companies?

Founder Experience and Traction Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, there are two key drivers to how much a startup can ask for funding. The first is traction. The greater the traction, the more the startup can ask in a fundraise. Traction includes current revenue run rate, quarter-over-quarter growth, and recurring revenue. The second is founder experience. Successful serial entrepreneurs with exits can use their reputation to raise more funding than the traction indicates. At the preseed level, successful founders can raise several million dollars more. This works particularly well if the founder is running a proven business model with a team that has done well previously. Experienced founders can also raise additional funds based on their reputation. This may be more in the order of $500K to one million dollars of funding. Consider using your team's startup experience and track record to make the case for a greater fundraise. This can be most helpful in the very early stages of the fundraising process, where there's little to no traction to reference.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let's go startup something today. _________________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

First: Nigel Farage is winning over womenDoes – or did – Nigel Farage have a woman problem? ‘Around me there's always been a perception of a laddish culture,' he tells political editor Tim Shipman. In last year's election, 58 per cent of Reform voters were men. But, Shipman argues, ‘that has begun to change'. According to More in Common, Reform has gained 14% among women, while Labour has lost 12%. ‘Women are ‘more likely than men… to worry that the country is broken.'Many of Reform's most recent victories have been by women: Andrea Jenkyns in the mayoral elections, Sarah Pochin to Parliament; plus, there most recent high profile defections include a former Tory Welsh Assembly member and a former Labour London councillor. What makes Reform's success with women all the more remarkable is that it appears organic; ‘we haven't forced this' says Farage.So why are women turning to Reform UK? Tim Shipman and Sarah Pochin MP join the podcast to discuss. Next: is Italy experiencing a renaissance? From Italy, Owen Matthews argues that Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has revived her nation. While he says that Italy has been ‘suffering from the same economic malaise' as the rest of Europe, the macroeconomics covers up the true affordability of the country. Espressos cost €1.20, pizzas are no more than €10, and rents in even the swankiest areas are ‘laughably' cheap compared to Britain. Plus, Owen sees none of the ‘media catastrophisation' over issues like immigration, social cohesion and militant Islam that appears to grip the UK. So how has Meloni done it? To discuss, Owen joined the podcast alongside Antonello Guerrera, UK & Westminster correspondent for the Italian newspaper Repubblica.And finally: one in three British adults cannot swimThis week, Iram Ramzan provides her ‘notes on' learning to swim saying, ‘it's humiliating to admit that at 37' she can't. She's not alone though – one third of British adults cannot swim, and the proportion appears to be rising. Iram highlights the disparities between different communities; 76 percent of South Asian women for example cannot swim 25 metres. Iram joined the podcast to discuss further, alongside fitness professional and entrepreneur Elle Linton who also learnt to swim in her thirties.Plus: what small error led Rachel Johnson to get a telling off from Noel Gallagher? And Max Jeffery reports from court, where the Spectator and Douglas Murray have won a defamation claim brought against them by Mohammed Hijab. Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Customize the Pitch for the Investor Type Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. There are many types of investors. Founders should customize the pitch for the investor type. Here are some key investor types to consider: The analytical investor -- this type of investor looks at the financial and sales numbers to make an investment decision. For this type of showcase, the metrics in the business and highlight the growth performance and potential. The impact investor -- this type of investor looks at the community benefit that comes from the startup. For this type,  highlight the environmental, social, and other benefits the company brings. The leisure investor -- this type of investor looks to have a little fun with startup investing. For this type, point out the cutting-edge technology and the unique business model. In most cases, your pitch deck will remain the same, but what you highlight and how you contextualize the pitch will make it more relevant to the investor. The more you know about the investor ahead of time, the better you can customize it. In addition, during the pitch, listen for the questions asked to determine which type of investor you may have.   Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.
