- week 1 ✅
first chair in our new office in NY - Humans are not resources. Introducing Contra, a new professional network for the jobs of the future. Get more creative at contra.com
00:00 - 2 years ago @contra had just been rejected by YC for the 3rd time. Even worse, we were rejected by almost every VC firm we pitched in NYC. It’s hard to believe I get to say this, but today Contra is announcing our launch of Zero Commission Payments and our $30M series B.
00:00 - It's Launch Day @contra and this is one of our biggest launches yet. 🚀. Today we are launching Portfolio Magic, an AI powered portfolio builder with built in 💸payments 📈analytics 💰contracts, proposals, invoices + a ton of platform upgrades as well. More in the 🧵
00:00 - the biggest complaints we get at @contra are 1. not enough leads 2. clients dont respond to applications the reality is, job boards are dead.. the best way to find new projects is from your own network. Today we are launching Indy, and its going to change everything.
00:00 - yep, we bought contra.com before we raised any $$, had to max out a few cc's and take a domain financing loan + spend my life savings.Buy a .com domain name Go into debt if you have to
- wow @loom has become incredible 🤯 Just recorded a product demo for a potential customer and it automatically separated the clip into relevant sections, took out all of the filler words, created a transcription and cut out the background noise. The future is bright for builders
- ok this is happening. great idea
- Over the last month, @contra teamed up with @DannPetty to survey over 500,000 independent creators to learn about the tools they use to run their businesses. Excited to share the winners and launch the "Creator Tools Show" here on @X, where we discuss the jobs of the future
