Thanks for the comment here. I couldn't agree more, it takes quiet the effort to stick on message and thesis. Fortunately for us we have been on it for the past 5 years now. During this time there has been a ton of learning and recalibrating. Still a long way to go, but so far so good :)

As per your question, in our case the titles are the same but the role can differ. ie. for a particular project a Principal can take the lead and then invite other Principals into the engagement in more of a supporting role.

Show HN: How we are building a radically different Creative Agency from India

Our thesis in building this radical new type of a creative agency is broken down into the following six points, we call this the Sanscubicle Protocol and we kicked this off in 2016 on founding Lazy Eight (www.lazyeight.in)Following are the six points:1). A fully remote, zero infrastructure model. 2). Having a single title, ie. a completely flat organisation with no hierarchical...

Here is a followup post we just pushed out with some FAQs. https://navchatterji.medium.com/khoob-bitclout-part-2-a408ea... . Hope this helps!

Since Bitclout as a platform is really early we have decided to keep the initial bit of the experiment simple. Every quarter we will use 10% of the fund's proceeds (revenue in the form of rev share from companies, carry, etc) to buy Khoob coin. We have a few other ideas in mind once the Bitclout team decides to open up an API. Hope that helps!

Show HN: A decentralised VC firm using Bitclout?

Experiments are fun.I recently came across Bitclout, and I love the underlying concept. It’s ballsy, will it work? — time will tell. I think Bitclout as a thesis is moving towards the right direction. Decentralised Social Media networks will be the next thing and allowing users to own their own social equity and monetise that is the future.Last year I started an experimental fund, Khoob...

Re:Ask HN: What are some great personal blogs/portfolios? on Friday February 08, 2019 @12:10PM (#19116320)
I built my personal website using Google Docs. https://navchatterji.com/. This was a fun weekend experiment where the aim was to build a quick, usable website (in this case a blog) and host it without having to type in a single line of HTML/CSS or terminal command. The instructions on how I made it is near the bottom.
Look up the concept of Flow Theory by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. I run a relatively small Creative Agency called Lazy Eight, where we are experimenting with 60 hours a month(measurable execution), its been working well so far but will be interesting to see once we scale a bit more.

Props Andrew for taking an interesting take on an iconic design. The "squared" shape would def. be an issue with carbonated beverages ... but could work well with non-carbonated ones (ie. Dasani). I'd also take a look at what the folks at http://boxedwaterisbetter.com are doing with the carton approach. Best.
