In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Will Blackburn, co-founder of DevClarity.Will shares he's from Birmingham, Alabama, where he still resides. Although he moved to Atlanta, thinking Birmingham lacked a tech ecosystem, he returned after seeing local success stories and opportunities. Birmingham's smaller, supportive startup community, centered around the Innovation Depot, made it easier to build connections than Atlanta's bigger, less personal environment. This supportive community inspired him to build DevClarity in Birmingham.Will explains that DevClarity helps new engineering managers with a developer-focused one-on-one tool. It uses AI to summarize notes, analyze sentiment, and guide developer growth. The goal is to build a system for tracking team performance, well-being, and project details. While DevClarity started by targeting engineering managers, Will sees the need to also serve CTOs, VPs, and directors with broader insights for the whole organization.Find out how Will Blackburn embraced Birmingham's collaborative spirit to build DevClarity's success in this episode of The First Customer! Guest Info:DevClarityhttps://www.devclarity.ai/Will Blackburn's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/willhblackburn/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

Denver's economy boomed in the 2010s, thanks in large part to a thriving community of local tech start-ups and entrepreneurs, which produced a handful of companies that have grown to rival some Silicon Valley giants — iBotta, HomeAdvisor, Guild Education, etc. But many of those success stories turned sour over the past 18 months, with layoffs, remote work, and cancelled downtown leases dominating the headlines. So, producer Paul Karolyi is sitting down with one of the city's most insightful tech analysts, Jeff Casimir of the Turing School of Software and Design, to talk about where he sees signs of life, the Elon Musk effect on the local scene, and what the new dynamics mean for all Denverites.  For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

This evolved into Turf, a decentralized platform where users can create, customize, and explore virtual spaces, reflecting the ethos of the Urbit ecosystem.Urbit as a Decentralized Platform: Urbit is not just another computing platform; it represents a complete reimagining of the internet's infrastructure. John explains how Urbit aims to replace the current centralized internet model with a decentralized one, giving users more control over their data and interactions. This decentralized nature is what makes platforms like Turf possible, where users can interact and transact without relying on centralized servers.Challenges in Hoon Programming: John discusses the unique challenges of programming in Hoon, Urbit's native language. While Hoon offers powerful capabilities for building secure and efficient applications, it also presents a steep learning curve, particularly due to its unconventional syntax and limited documentation. Despite these challenges, John sees potential in Hoon for creating robust, decentralized applications.Orthodox Christianity and Modern Technology: John, who was born and raised in the Orthodox Christian faith, touches on the interesting trend of Westerners converting to Orthodox Christianity. He connects this to a broader search for truth and tradition in a fragmented, digital world, seeing parallels between the decentralized, self-sovereign nature of Urbit and the spiritual grounding provided by his faith.Building a Business on Urbit: John is optimistic about Turf's business potential, particularly through the sale of virtual items. He envisions a marketplace within Turf where users can trade items, leveraging the decentralized nature of Urbit to ensure authenticity and ownership. This business model reflects the growing interest in digital ownership and NFTs in virtual environments.The Future of Urbit: John is hopeful but cautious about the future of Urbit. He believes that while the technology has the potential to revolutionize the internet, its success depends on continued innovation, improved usability, and sustained financial support. He also emphasizes the need for more user-friendly applications like Turf to drive adoption.The Cultural Impact of Urbit: The conversation highlights how Urbit is fostering a new kind of online community, where quality interaction and thoughtful engagement are prioritized over mass adoption. John observes that while the Urbit community is still relatively small, it is growing steadily, attracting people who value the platform's decentralized principles and the opportunity to participate in building a new internet paradigm.

Stoyan's strategy involves leveraging marketplace opportunities and partnerships to drive growth, aiming for a tenfold increase in the coming year. FinOps and the Future of Cloud Management: Stoyan emphasizes the importance of FinOps (financial operations) in the evolving landscape of cloud management.

In this Xmas special we zoom out from Fintech to Tech as a whole in one of Europe's coolest capitals – Berlin. Ivan is a great person to guide us through the scene having spent many years in the Ur-tech hub of San Francisco/Silicon Valley. This also means that he understands both the outsiders perspective on Berlin tech as well as now an experienced and well informed insider. Ivan honestly lays out both the highs and the lows of being in Tech in Berlin – the good news and the challenges and the somewhat insane (see below) – that he has encountered with his embedded financial infrastructure startup Monite. A particularly insane quirk of German law is the need to get documents notarised. Ok well so no big deal eh? Well not as such however if you for example do a raise then the notary takes a percentage of the value raised for (a) reading the whole document out to you in German (even if you do not speak German!) and (b) notarising that “yeh he signed it”. Topics discussed include: historical contexts of Germany, a very young country, and Berlin San Francisco pre- and post- covid years Berlin is Berlin and international as well as German is there still a felt sense of former west and east Berlin? What are the differences? district-centric view of Berlin where startups tend to be based Ivan's career in SF and journey to Berlin being in SF during boom times the leading continental tech centres Ivan considered pre-conceptions/understandings of Berlin from America vs the reality what gets taken for granted in SF and what the vibe is different vibes of innovation – SF being in more radical innovation the more positive developments from Berlin – “finally having a life” the major tech sectors in Berlin and particular strength tech scene in Berlin starts in the 90s German regulation – did they get it right? are their actually subsector “scenes” or is entrepreneurial activity centrifugally spread around German tradition of entrepreneurialism what binds tech firms together in Berlin Berlin is roughly 1/3 the population of London comparing via looking at the number/distributions of WeWorks the city/state/country's importance or otherwise in creating a tech scene versus it being entrepreneur-led Germany does a lot of good things for entrepreneurs but also a lot of total passion killers immigration restrictions for talent lower than the US what makes it hard to do business in Germany super-easy to get fined when forming a company the outrageous notarisation fees (as above) and impact on fund-raising the difficulties and paperwork involved in a US investor investing in a German startup – the costs can be higher than the raise :-O challenges of legalities and difficulties there Case Study  of trivial business expenses – state checking down to €3 or 4…! due to the challenges a lot of startups are forming legal entities outside Germany what Germany gets right “some aspects of doing business are just absolutely crazy or unimaginable for 2023” many things are still mailed not emailed – “insane” levels of posted mail well-designed for some activities but not for entrepreneurialism the investment scene in Berlin – angles/desires and presence of VCs.. why German startups never tend to wide-scale success the response of successful businesses as a result what Ivan would look for now if he were starting again global fundraising to overcome local challenges what Monite does and where it is going what embedded workflows are and how they fit in innovating SME finance And much much more

In this podcast episode, Roland Frasier discusses the huge potential of using AI in marketing, business, and copywriting. Roland discusses the prompt engineering framework and touches upon copyright ownership legalities when it comes to AI-created content. He also entertains questions from the audience which will improve our understanding and use of AI tools.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:[1:23] Roland Frasier introduces the topic of using AI in marketing and shares an example of a successful sales letter generated in just 18 minutes.[3:38] Roland emphasizes the importance of asking the right questions when interviewing AI to get the best results.[4:15] He discusses chat-based AI, GPT, and its capabilities in generating content for marketing.[5:00] Roland explains how he used GPT to create a sales letter for a marriage counseling business and shares the prompts he used to train the AI model.[7:00] He shares the result of the sales letter created by GPT and highlights the importance of using stories in sales copywriting.[10:13] Let the AI generate the testimonials![11:02] Knowledge is power: The story of the two young Wall Street men.[14:49] The use of prompts in AI-generated copywriting is discussed, including naked prompts, role-based prompts, data-fed prompts, and combination prompts.[17:07] The importance of prompt chaining is discussed, where multiple prompts are used to generate a better result, and the final sales letter is created from the combination of the previous prompts without deleting any content.[21:10] Discussion on continuation prompts.[25:00] Prompt engineering framework: The first step in prompt engineering is to train the model by assigning a role to the AI and specifying its capabilities and the desired results. You can also add modifiers such as length, style, and format.[30:05] Creating a marketing campaign: You can prompt the AI to act as an advertiser, copywriter, or ad exec and create a campaign to promote a product or service. [32:20] Recruiting plan: Prompt the AI to act as a recruiter and provide information about job openings. The AI can come up with strategies for sourcing qualified applicants, including social media, networking events, career fairs, and employee referrals.[36:21] AI can analyze Amazon reviews to identify the most common pain points and positive comments about a product. This information can be used to create marketing messaging and sales letters.[39:04] AI can brainstorm attention-grabbing hooks for videos on various platforms, such as TikTok, to stop people from scrolling and get them to watch the video.[41:22] AI can act as a customer and provide insights into how they feel about their challenges, and pain points.[43:19] AI can generate headlines for ads that are based on the benefits and pain points identified by the AI.[46:12] Roland shares the power of AI in content creation and how it can be used to generate content like sales messages, social media posts, and product descriptions.[52:50] He suggests crowd-sourcing the best AI prompts for content creation and how it can benefit the community.[55:20] He talks about how AI will not put content creators out of business but rather elevate their game and make them more efficient in creating original ideas.[59:33] He also briefly touches upon the legalities of copyright owners when it comes to content created by AI.[1:02:20] Roland doesn't think AI-generated content will necessarily be penalized by Google as long as it provides the best answer to the user's query and doesn't contain duplicate content.[1:02:35] Roland Frasier doesn't see AI-generated content as being fundamentally different from the way human-generated content is often created by compiling information from multiple sources.[1:04:27] Roland Frasier mentions that AI...
