Building it from scratch
Creating any type of company from scratch is hard, and few people truly understand the sacrifices founders endure. In the context of creating a business under capital constraints, e.g. without raising venture money, this can become amplified. It takes longer before you’re surrounded by a team, and you do not have a forum with other entrepreneurs (VCs) where you feel heard and recognized. We want to create a space for builders, where both the good and the ugly stories are shared
We think that community is more valuable to the builder (entrepreneur) than ever. Technology is advancing rapidly, prompting smarter, faster, and cheaper ways to operate companies. There are so many cases where someone also has faced your problem and found a solution, so it makes perfect sense to start with a proven approach and upgrade it to your own context. At Bifrost Studios, we always source and upgrade technologies, frameworks, and strategies from other entrepreneurs if possible. But on the flip side, we also spent hours each week curating these tactics, so you can imagine how much crap we also stumble across. Today, platforms like LinkedIn and Reddit are the ‘town square’ for builders where knowledge is shared, but these platforms are cluttered with noise (corporate nonsense on LinkedIn and trolls on Reddit). We’re certain there's a better and more valuable way to facilitate knowledge sharing between builders, and of course we want to be part of it.
