Founder's stories and startup life - my Beacon project

8 pointsby timwutover 11 years ago
Looking for support from HN for my Beacon campaign - for anyone who&#x27;d be interested in reading founder&#x27;s stories and posts covering successes&#x2F;lessons learned.<p>Beacon is like Netflix for news. They use a clean, no-ad reading interface with the ability to directly fund writers through their platform.<p>About Me: I&#x27;m a contributing writer to an LA-Based news pub called TechZulu. We cover breaking tech news among other topics, but I&#x27;ve found most of my passion in learning the stories of the people behind the businesses. (Some examples below):<p>- Interview with Jim Farley, Ford Motors CMO - (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;1m0Or6w) - Interview with Emir Aboulhosn, Ready SIM CEO - (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;Kh86ju)<p>Through this project, I&#x27;m looking to refine this concept and give entrepreneurs a venue to share their stories and what they&#x27;ve learned.<p>Specific to this campaign, I&#x27;ll be finding and contacting this year&#x27;s W14 batches from notable incubators across the country (YC, Techstars, etc.). If you&#x27;re interested in these stories, please consider supporting my campaign.<p><i>Note - I&#x27;m not directly affiliated with Beacon other than using their services, But I do think they have a cool concept and platform and hope they find success.</i>
