World's laziest CEO. Before starting the highly-successful Proxycurl and Sapiengraph, Steven founded 5 other startups: Gom VPN, Kloudsec, SilvrBullet, NuMoney, and SharedHere.
Proxycurl API is a developer's tool. And the chances are that if you can code, you will have no problem scraping a website, unless it is Professional Social Network. It is a full-time job keeping up with Professional Social Network's bot detection and layout changes. Proxycurl
Automation, especially in digital marketing, has become an important progress feature. It can greatly reduce the time spent on menial work so that you can spend more time doing the things you'd rather be doing and just pass the simple work to the bot. Most of the time,
Professional Social Network is the most popular social media platform for people to meet one another in a professional setting. I recommend you to read our article, How To Automatically Track Professional Social Network Job Changes and How Salesforge.ai Integrates Rich Prospecting Data With ChatGPT To Automatically Personalize Emails,
Are you like me and you post on EDMW Hardwarezone forums, and end up spamming the refresh button in pursuit of validation for someone to quote/respond to you. Well, those days are over because now I am going to send you an email automatically when that happens. Or rather,
* Steven: I have something new to share * You: What is it? * Steven: I want to tell you that if you are bored in the wee hours, you can come to SharedHere and chat with anyone that is awake like you are * You: Wah, why is that possible? * Steven: Because we
With Proxycurl API, you can enrich Professional Social Network Profiles at one cent per profile, at scale. Since we introduced Proxycurl, the feedback has revolved around two issues: 1. It is too hard to scrape public Professional Social Network profiles 2. And that our corporate plans are too expensive I
The cadence of delivery. Last month, I dismissed the employment of a software developer who oversold himself during the interview phase. He turned out to be on the lowest rung of the software engineers in my company. Not being good enough is not a reason to be dismissed. But not
We learned drown-proofing as a trainee in the Naval Diving Unit. Throughout the training, we were drilled to remember three words - Stop; think; breathe. Whether above the water surface or 20 meters under the water, should a mishap occur -- Stop; think; breathe. To stop, think, and breathe is
The title is apt in these times. I experienced a database corruption, and I can't seem to find the backup for it. I can fix it by starting anew again, but if that is so, I might as well rebuild it because the previous codebase was an entire
In this series, I will begin writing my thoughts on startup news in Singapore/Asia. Here are the news today! With fresh funding, Snapask expands tech-driven learning across Asia [https://sharedhere.com/thread/view/o7jee6Sbz2wsrdRqacppTn] This post seems like a sponsored post or a PR piece that declared that Snapask
I just had the revenue carpet that I stood on, pulled out under me. It is sudden, but not unexpected. I started feeling exasperated, but over the evening, it turned into anger, then resolute. A resolution to not have such a situation happen again by which a product of mine
Walk down Chinatown, and you will see a row of shophouses that says OCBC. OCBC owns them. Major business owners, with some foresight, made their wealth when they bought in a chunk of properties before the aunties flooded Condominium launches. Where is the next billion-dollar business opportunity in Singapore? No,
ShareDong is SharedHere for Indonesia. In Indonesian, it is a casual way of asking for a link. I would approximate it to the English phrase to "share the link!". Like SharedHere, ShareDong will be the ultimate mobile site to subscribe to awesome curated and exclusive content in Indonesia.
I tried sharing some news on Facebook today, and I got blocked from posting in other groups. I had figured that I needed a better growth engine instead of over-sharing on Facebook, so I spent the morning planning the new growth engine. Growth Hacking I term what I do in
With a clear and discrete objective for SharedHere of 66k views per day, I am working hard to achieve a 10% day on day growth on pageviews. The first week started fine, but as the week edged towards the end, I noticed that I was not able to keep the
Let's start with something I got wrong in my last post. I mentioned that my efforts in growth hacking led to 1000 views. I was wrong. It was a 1000 unique visitors. As for views, we got nearly 3000 hits. These numbers are pretty decent for three days
The difference between fifteen minutes of sleep and getting one last piece of todo item checked amounted to 1000 views for SharedHere.com. Yesterday, I posted a thread on Hardwarezone forums just before my bedtime, and I almost did not do it because I was tired. But what the hell
Which works out to be 2 million views per month if you do the math. A figure I believe will bring SharedHere to profitability. It is day two since launch, and it has been two days of regret. I wished I thought through distribution a lot more. Nobody cares about
Premium content, previously guarded by paywalls, is now readily available on SharedHere.com [sharedhere.com]. These include premium articles from Straits Times and TechInAsia. Any content that can be shared with a screenshot, will be shared on SharedHere because the future of the internet is not going to be an
I had lunch with my CEO friend, who runs Ubersnap. I'm helping him to take the business into Indonesia, and Ubersnap Indonesia is up against Holograil. Ubersnap researched and developed their Aura photo-booth in-house. While his competition has decided to buy a myriad of booths from China. Case
I have been trying to grow high end ridiculously expensive hei bi (Cantonese for shrimps) for almost a year now. These shrimps that are no larger than 0.7cm cost $3 to $15 per piece. On random weekends that I manage to bullshit myself that the water conditions are perfect,
Something devastating happened to me lately. I conformed. Fuck. I admit that some Facebook comments that were posted on my posts got to me. The commotion on the comment section hated click baits. Mostly because they fell for it. Which meant one thing -- I succeeded! My click bait titles
The Chinese market opened today with a sharp -9.6% tear with no thanks to Wuhan's Coronavirus. The coronavirus is a disaster through and through. Just last week, I came across an article on disaster preparation [https://www.jefftk.com/p/disasters], and it hit me: How does
The problem with the author-reader relationship is the implied authoritarian role. The writer as the expert, and the reader as the student. I will like to debunk this fallacy with this post that will journal a misdeed that happened today. I dished out a personal attack today, and I am
When I was younger and naive, I believed that companies should have a flat hierarchy [https://nubela.co/blog/the-chinaman-i-hired-that-sneered-heckled-and-mocked-me/]. I also thought that rules were archaic and are a syndrome of corporate sluggishness. I still agree. I held a one-on-one two weeks ago, and one of the feedback I
