This isn’t a terrible idea. It reminds me of that mobile game “Episode”

I always wondered if they see applying many times with different ideas as a red flag, as it might indicate that someone quickly abandons things?

That could be a record :) Do you feel like your startups got better with each application, or they were just different ideas?

Both. I am working on very different ideas. The most recent is the first time I have something that can be explained simply, which lots of people suffer with, etc. But I only came up with it a few weeks before I submitted my application.

My last start-up is still going, and making some money, but still after 4 years it's difficult to explain and understand the market for 3D mapping, volumentric video, and where that intersects with outside sports.

Come up with a one-liner for that https://ayvri.com

For the consumer, that video is better than any one liner. One liners don't generally make me want to play with an app for the next hour :D

That's so kind. Thank you. When people ask me what I do, 99% of the time, I have to pull out my phone and say "easier to show you then try to explain it".

Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it.

You must work for Neurun. Did we speak a few months ago. Anyway, Ayvri is going on doing it's own thing. It keeps growing every month.

Now, we're on to some bigger stuff.
