Ukubuka kwe-San Francisco kusukela ohlangothini olusempumalanga lwetheku
Sawubona Habr,
Kulokhu okuthunyelwe ngizokhuluma ngendlela esakha ngayo inkampani eSilicon Valley. Eminyakeni emine, sasuka ekuqalisweni kwabantu ababili endaweni engaphansi kwesakhiwo e-San Francisco saya enkampanini enkulu, eyaziwayo enezimali ezingaphezu kuka-$ 30M ezivela ezikhwameni ezaziwayo, kuhlanganise neziqhwaga ezifana ne-a16z.
Ngaphansi kokusika kunezindaba eziningi ezithakazelisayo mayelana ne-Y Combinator, ukutshalwa kwezimali kwebhizinisi, ukusesha kweqembu, nezinye izici zempilo nomsebenzi esigodini.
prehistory
Ngafika esigodini ngo-2011 ngajoyina iMemSQL, inkampani eyayisanda kuthweswa iziqu e-Y Combinator. Ngangiyisisebenzi sokuqala kwa-MemSQL. Sasisebenza efulethini elinamagumbi amathathu edolobheni laseMenlo Park, esasihlala kulo (mina nomkami sasisekamelweni elilodwa, i-CEO nomkakhe babekwelinye, kanti u-CTO wenkampani, u-Nikita Shamgunov, wayelala kusofa. egumbini lokuhlala). Isikhathi sesihambile, i-MemSQL namuhla iyinkampani enkulu yebhizinisi enamakhulu ezisebenzi, ukuthengiselana kwezigidigidi zamadola kanye nehhovisi enkabeni yeSan Francisco.
Ngo-2016, ngabona ukuthi inkampani yayingikhulisile, ngabona sekuyisikhathi sokuqala into entsha. Njengoba ngangingakanqumi ukuthi ngenzeni ngokulandelayo, ngangihlezi esitolo sekhofi eSan Francisco futhi ngifunda isihloko salowo nyaka esiphathelene nokufunda ngomshini. Enye insizwa yahlala eduze kwami yathi, “Ngiqaphele ukuthi ufunda ngomshini wokubhala, ake sijwayelane.” Izimo ezinjengalezi zivamile eSan Francisco. Iningi labantu ezitolo zekhofi, ezindaweni zokudlela, nasemgwaqweni bangabasebenzi beziqalo noma izinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe, ngakho-ke amathuba okuhlangana nomuntu onjalo aphezulu kakhulu. Ngemva kweminye imihlangano emibili nale nsizwa esitolo sekhofi, sanquma ukuqala ukwakha inkampani eyakha abasizi abahlakaniphile. AbakwaSamsung babesanda kuthenga i-VIV, iGoogle yayimemezele uMsizi weGoogle, futhi kwakubonakala sengathi ikusasa lisendaweni ethile kuleyo ndlela.
Njengesinye isibonelo sokuthi bangaki abantu ku-SF abasebenza emkhakheni we-IT, isonto noma amabili kamuva mina nensizwa efanayo sasihlezi esitolo sekhofi esisodwa, futhi ngenza izinguquko ezithile kuwebhusayithi yethu yesikhathi esizayo, futhi wayengenalo lutho. yenza . Yavele yaphendukela insizwa eyayihlezi ngaphesheya kwetafula kithi yathi “uyabhala ngomshini?”, insizwa yaphendula ngokumangala yathi “yebo, wazi ngani?”
Ngo-Okthoba 2016, sanquma ukuqala ukutshala izimali zebhizinisi. Ngacabanga ukuthi ukufika emhlanganweni nabatshalizimali abaphezulu kungaba nzima kakhulu. Kwavela ukuthi lokhu akulungile ngokuphelele. Uma umtshali-zimali enezinsolo ezincane zokuthi inkampani ingasuka, bayochitha ihora ngenjabulo bekhuluma. Ithuba elikhulu lokumosha ihora enkampanini efile lingcono kakhulu kunethuba elincane lokuphuthelwa i-unicorn elandelayo. Iqiniso lokuthi ngangiyisisebenzi sokuqala se-MemSQL sasivumela ukuthi sithole imihlangano ekhalendeni lethu nabatshalizimali abapholile abayisithupha esigodini phakathi nesonto lomsebenzi. Sakhuthazwa. Kodwa ngendlela esathola ngayo kalula le mihlangano, sayihluleka le mihlangano. Abatshalizimali bahlangana namaqembu afana nathi izikhathi ezimbalwa ngosuku futhi bayakwazi ukuqonda ngesikhathi esincane ukuthi abafana abaphambi kwabo abazi ukuthi benzani.
Isicelo ku-Y Combinator
Kwakudingeka sithuthukise amakhono ethu ekwakheni inkampani. Ukwakha inkampani akukhona ngokubhala ikhodi. Lokhu kusho ukuqonda ukuthi yini abantu abayidingayo, ukwenza izifundo zabasebenzisi, ukwenza i-prototyping, ukunquma ngendlela efanele ukuthi uzungeza nini nokuthi kufanele uqhubeke nini, ukuthola umkhiqizo olingana nemakethe. Ngalesi sikhathi, ukuqashwa kwakusenzeka ku-Y Combinator Winter 2017. I-Y Combinator iyi-accelerator ehlonishwa kakhulu e-Silicon Valley, okudlula kuyo iziqhwaga ezinjenge-Dropbox, i-Reddit, i-Airbnb, kanye ne-MemSQL imbala. Imibandela ye-Y Combinator kanye ne-venture capitalists ifana kakhulu: badinga ukukhetha inombolo encane enanini elikhulu lezinkampani e-Silicon Valley futhi bandise ithuba lokubamba i-unicorn elandelayo. Ukuze ungene ku-Y Combinator, udinga ukugcwalisa isicelo. Uhlu lwemibuzo lwenqaba cishe u-97% wezicelo, ngakho ukuligcwalisa kuyinqubo enesibopho esimangalisayo. Ngemuva kohlu lwemibuzo, inhlolokhono iyenzeka, enqamula ingxenye yezinkampani ezisele.
Sachitha isonto lonke sigcwalisa leli fomu, siligcwalisa, silifunda nabangane, silifunda futhi, siligcwalisa futhi. Ngenxa yalokho, ngemva kwamasonto ambalwa sathola isimemo senhlolokhono. Singene ku-3%, osekusele wukuthi singene ku-1.5%. Inhlolokhono yenzeka ekomkhulu le-YC eMountain View (imizuzu engama-40 ngemoto usuka kwa-SF) futhi ithatha imizuzu eyi-10. Imibuzo ebuzwayo icishe ifane futhi yaziwa kahle. Kunamasayithi ku-inthanethi lapho isibali sikhathi sisethelwa khona imizuzu eyi-10 futhi imibuzo evela kumanuwali eyaziwayo ikhethwa ngokungahleliwe futhi iboniswe. Sasichitha amahora kulawa masayithi nsuku zonke, futhi sacela abangani bethu abambalwa abadlule ku-YC esikhathini esidlule ukuthi nabo basixoxisane. Sekukonke, sibheke imihlangano nabatshalizimali ngokuzimisela kakhulu kunalokho ebesikwenza enyangeni edlule.
Usuku lwenhlolokhono lwalumnandi kakhulu. Inhlolokhono yethu yayingo-10 ekuseni. Safika kusenesikhathi. Kimina, usuku lwenhlolokhono lwaletha inselele ethile. Njengoba inkampani yami ngokusobala ibingakasuki, ngihlukanise isikhathi sami sokutshala imali ngokuqala isikhathi sokuhlolwa e-OpenAI. Omunye wabasunguli be-OpenAI, uSam Altman, naye wayengumongameli we-Y Combinator. Uma ngithola inhlolokhono naye futhi ebona i-OpenAI esicelweni sami, akukho nokuncane ukungabaza ukuthi uzobuza umphathi wami ngenqubekelaphambili yami phakathi nesikhathi sami sokuhlolwa. Uma ngabe ngingangeni ku-Y Combinator, isikhathi sami sokuhlolwa e-OpenAI sizoba nokungabaza okukhulu.
Ngenhlanhla, u-Sam Altman wayengekho eqenjini elaxoxa nathi.
Uma u-Y Combinator amukela inkampani, afona ngalo lolo suku. Uma benqaba, babhala i-imeyili ngosuku olulandelayo enencazelo enemininingwane yokuthi kungani. Ngokunjalo, uma ungatholi ucingo kusihlwa, kusho ukuthi uphelelwe yinhlanhla. Futhi uma befona, khona-ke ngaphandle kokulubamba ucingo, ungazi ukuthi basithathile. Siphumelele inhlolokhono kalula; yonke imibuzo ibiphuma kumanuwali. Saphuma siphefumulelwe saya eNorthern Fleet. Kwadlula isigamu sehora, sase siyimizuzu eyishumi ukusuka edolobheni, lapho sithola ucingo.
Ukungena ku-Y Combinator iphupho cishe lawo wonke umuntu owakha inkampani eSilicon Valley. Leso sikhathi lapho ucingo lukhala ngesinye sezikhathi ezi-3 ezikhumbuleka kakhulu emsebenzini wami. Uma sibheka phambili, okwesibili kwezintathu kuzokwenzeka emahoreni ambalwa kamuva ngalolo suku.
Intombazane ngakolunye uhlangothi yayingajahile ukusijabulisa ngezindaba zokwamukelwa kwethu. Wasazisa ukuthi badinga ukwenza inhlolokhono yesibili. Lesi yisenzakalo esiyivelakancane, kodwa futhi kwabhalwa ngaso kuyi-Internet. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ngokwezibalo, phakathi kwezinkampani ezibize inhlolokhono yesibili, ama-50% afanayo ayamukela, okungukuthi, iqiniso lokuthi sidinga ukubuya lisinika ulwazi olusha olu-0 mayelana nokuthi sizongena ku-YC noma cha.
Saphenduka sabuya. Sasondela ekamelweni. USam Altman. Ibhadi…
Ngibhalele umphathi wami e-OpenAI nge-slack ngithi yilokhu, ngizokwenza inhlolokhono e-Y Combinator namuhla, uSam cishe uzokubhalela, ungamangali. Konke kuhambe kahle, umphathi wami kwa-OpenAI ubengeke abe nomphumela omuhle.
Inhlolokhono yesibili yathatha imizuzu emihlanu, babuza imibuzo embalwa, basidedela. Kwakungekho nomuzwa ofanayo wokuthi sibaphahlaze. Bekubonakala sengathi akwenzekanga lutho ngesikhathi senhlolokhono. Siye ku-SF, singaphefumulelwe kangako ngalesi sikhathi. Ngemva kwemizuzu engu-30 baphinda bafona. Lesi sikhathi sokumemezela ukuthi samukelwe.
Y Combinator
Okuhlangenwe nakho kwa-Y Combinator kube usizo kakhulu futhi kuthakazelisa. Kanye ngesonto, ngoLwesibili, kwakudingeka siye endlunkulu yabo eMountain View, lapho sasihlala khona ngamaqembu amancane nabafana abanolwazi futhi sabelane nabo ngentuthuko nezinkinga zethu, futhi baxoxisane nathi ngezixazululo ezingase zibe khona. Ekupheleni kwawo wonke uLwesibili, ngesikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa, osomabhizinisi abahlukahlukene abaphumelelayo bakhuluma futhi baxoxe ngalokho abahlangabezane nakho. Abadali beWhatsapp bakhulume esidlweni sakusihlwa sokugcina, bekujabulisa kakhulu.
Ukuxhumana nezinye izinkampani ezisencane eqenjini nakho bekujabulisa. Imibono ehlukene, amaqembu ahlukene, izindaba ezahlukene zawo wonke umuntu. Bafake ngenjabulo ama-prototypes abasizi bethu futhi babelane ngokuvela kwabo, futhi sasebenzisa ama-prototypes wamasevisi abo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kwakhiwe ingosi lapho singadala khona imihlangano nganoma yisiphi isikhathi nabafana abahlukahlukene abahlakaniphile abanolwazi ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene zokwakha inkampani: ukuthengisa, ukumaketha, izifundo zabasebenzisi, ukuklama, i-UX. Sisebenzise lokhu kakhulu futhi sazuza ulwazi oluningi. Cishe njalo laba bafana babeseNorthern Fleet, ngakho kwakungadingeki ngisho bahambe ibanga elide. Ngokuvamile ubungadingi ngisho nemoto.
Sesha omunye umsunguli
Anikwazi ukukhulisa inkampani ndawonye. Kodwa sino-$150K i-YC esinika yona ekuqaleni kohlelo. Sidinga ukuthola abantu. Uma sibheka ukuthi asikwazi esikubhalayo, ukufuna abasebenzi kuseyisizathu esilahlekile, kodwa mhlawumbe sizothola omunye umuntu ofuna ukuba ngumsunguli kanye nathi? Ngenza i-ACM ICPC ekolishi, futhi abantu abaningi abakwenza esizukulwaneni sami manje banemisebenzi ephumelelayo esigodini. Ngaqala ukubhalela abangani bami bakudala manje ababehlala eSF. Nesigodi besingeke sibe yisigodi uma emilayezweni emihlanu yokuqala ngingamtholi ofuna ukwakha inkampani. Unkosikazi womunye wabangane bami be-ICPC wakha umsebenzi ophumelela kakhulu ku-Facebook, kodwa wayecabanga ukushiya futhi aqale inkampani. Sahlangana naye. Wayesevele efuna abasunguli abakanye naye futhi wangethula kumngane wakhe u-Ilya Polosukhin. U-Ilya wayengomunye wonjiniyela eqenjini elakha i-TensorFlow. Ngemva kwemihlangano eminingana, intombazane yanquma ukuhlala ku-Facebook, futhi u-Ilya weza enkampanini yethu njengomsunguli wesithathu.
Ikhaya EDUZE
Ngemuva kwe-YC, ukukhulisa ukutshalwa kwezimali kwebhizinisi kulula. Ezinsukwini zokugcina zohlelo, u-Y Combinator uhlela Usuku Lwedemo lapho sithumela kubatshalizimali abayi-100. I-YC yakhe uhlelo lapho abatshalizimali bezwakalisa intshisekelo kithi ngesikhathi sesethulo, futhi sizwakalisa intshisekelo kubo ekupheleni kosuku, bese kwakhiwa ukufanisa okunesisindo lapho futhi sihlangane nabo. Sikhulise i-$ 400K, mina no-Ilya asizange sihlanganyele kakhulu kule nqubo, sabhala ikhodi, ngakho-ke angikwazi ukutshela izindaba eziningi ezithakazelisayo. Kodwa kukhona eyodwa.
Ngokumaketha, sibambe imihlangano yokufunda ngomshini e-San Francisco nabacwaningi abaphezulu (abaningi babo abasebenza kwa-Google Brain, OpenAI, bafunda e-Stanford noma e-Berkeley, ngakho-ke batholakala ngokwendawo esigodini) futhi bakhe umphakathi wendawo. Komunye wale mihlangano, saqinisekisa omunye wabacwaningi abaphezulu kakhulu kulo mkhakha ukuthi abe ngumeluleki wethu. Sacishe sasayina amaphepha lapho ngemva kwesonto ebona ukuthi inkampani yakhe njengamanje ngeke imvumele ukuthi abe ngumeluleki. Kodwa waba nomuzwa wokuthi wayesidumaza, ngakho wasikisela ukuthi esikhundleni sokuseluleka, simane sitshale imali kithi. Inani esikalini senkampani lalincane, kodwa ukuthola umcwaningi ophezulu emkhakheni hhayi nje njengomeluleki, kodwa njengomtshali-zimali kwakupholile kakhulu.
Kwasekuvele ngoJuni 2017, iGoogle Pixel yaphuma futhi yayidumile. Ngokungafani, ngeshwa, umsizi we-Google wakhelwe kuyo. Ngaboleka ama-Pixels kubangani, ngacindezela inkinobho yasekhaya, futhi izikhathi ezingu-10 kweziyi-10 ngabona “setha Umsizi we-Google ngaphambi kokuwusebenzisa okokuqala ngqa.” AbakwaSamsung abazange basebenzise i-VIV ethengiwe nganoma iyiphi indlela, kodwa esikhundleni salokho bakhipha i-Bixby ngenkinobho ye-hardware, futhi izinhlelo zokusebenza ezithathe indawo ye-Bixby ngethoshi zaduma esitolo sakwaSamsung.
Ngokumelene nesizinda sakho konke lokhu, ukholo luka-Ilya kanye nami ngekusasa labasizi lwaphela, futhi sashiya leyo nkampani. Ngokushesha saqala inkampani entsha, i-Near Inc, silahlekelwa ibheji lethu le-Y Combinator, u-$400K, kanye nomcwaningi ophezulu njengomtshali-zimali kule nqubo.
Ngaleso sikhathi, sobabili sasinesithakazelo esikhulu esihlokweni sokuhlanganiswa kohlelo - lapho amamodeli ngokwawo ebhala (noma engeza) ikhodi. Sinqume ukujula esihlokweni. Kodwa awukwazi ukuhamba ngaphandle kwemali nhlobo, ngakho okokuqala udinga ukubuyisela u-$400K olahlekile.
Venture investments
Ngaleso sikhathi, phakathi kwamagrafu wokuphola ka-Ilya kanye nami, cishe bonke abatshalizimali esigodini babenokuxhawulana okukodwa noma okubili, ngakho-ke, njengakuqala, kwakulula kakhulu ukuthola imihlangano. Imihlangano yokuqala ayihambanga kahle kakhulu, futhi senqaba izikhathi eziningi. Njengoba ngifunda ngalokhu kanye nokuqoqwa kwezimali okungu-2 okulandelayo engizobamba iqhaza kukho, ngaphambi kokuthi YEBO wokuqala, ngidinga ukuthola inqwaba yama-NO kubatshalizimali. Ngemuva kokuthi YEBO wokuqala, uyebo olandelayo uza emihlanganweni emi-3-5 elandelayo. Uma nje sekukhona u-YEBO ababili noma abathathu, cishe abasekho o-CHA, futhi kuba inkinga ukukhetha kubo bonke abathi YEBO ukuthi ubani ozothatha.
U-YES wethu wokuqala uvela kumtshali-zimali X. Ngeke ngisho lutho oluhle ngo-X, ngakho-ke ngeke ngikhulume igama lakhe. U-X wehlise izinga lenkampani kuyo yonke imihlangano futhi wazama ukungeza imigomo eyengeziwe eyayibi eqenjini nakubasunguli. Umuntu othile esisebenze naye kwa-X ekuqaleni komsebenzi wakhe wokuba wumtshali-zimali esikhwameni esikhulu, futhi kuyena, ukuvala isivumelwano esinenzuzo enkulu kwaba ileli lomsebenzi wakhe. Futhi njengoba kungekho muntu ngaphandle kwakhe owasitshela YEBO, wayengafuna noma yini.
U-X usethule kwabatshalizimali abambalwa. Abatshalizimali abathandi ukutshala bodwa, bathanda ukutshala nabanye. Ukuba nabanye abatshalizimali kwenza kube namathuba amaningi okuthi ngeke balenze iphutha (ngoba omunye umuntu ucabanga ukuthi kuwutshalomali oluhle) futhi kwandisa amathuba enkampani okusinda. Inkinga ukuthi uma u-X esethule ku-Y, u-Y ngeke atshale ngaphandle kuka-X emva kwalokho, ngoba kuyoba yimpama ku-X, futhi kusafanele babhekane njalo. UYEBO wesibili ngemva kwalaba abajwayelene naye wafika ngokushesha, kwase kuba owesithathu nowesine. Inkinga yayiwukuthi u-X wayefuna ukusikhama wonke ujusi futhi asinike imali ngaphansi kwezimo ezingezinhle kakhulu, futhi abanye abatshalizimali abafunde ngathi ku-X bangase balungele ukutshala imali kithi ngokwemibandela engcono, kodwa ngeke bakwenzele lokho. U-X ubuyile
Ngolunye usuku ekuseni libalele eSan Francisco, ngathola incwadi evela ku-Nikita Shamgunov, owayesevele eyi-CEO ye-MemSQL, “Sethula u-Alex (DUZE) Wokukhulisa Ozakwethu.” Ngemva kwemizuzu engu-17, ngokuzimela ngokuphelele futhi ngokuqondana okumsulwa, incwadi ifika ivela ku-X enesihloko esifanayo ncamashi. Abafana base-Amplify bavele bapholile ngendlela emangalisayo. Imibandela u-X asinikeza yona yayibonakala inzima kubo, futhi babezimisele ukutshala imali kithi ngokwemibandela enengqondo. Iningi labatshalizimali belizimisele ukutshala imali eceleni kwe-Amplify. Ezimweni ezinjalo, siye sayishiya i-investimenti engu-X futhi saphakamisa umjikelezo ngokuthi i-Amplifaya njengomtshali-zimali ohamba phambili. U-Amplify naye akazange ajabule ukutshala imali ekudluleleni u-X, kodwa kusukela isingeniso sokuqala sivela ku-Nikita, hhayi ku-X, ulimi oluvamile lwatholakala phakathi kwawo wonke umuntu, futhi akekho owacasulwa muntu. Ukube uNikita wayethumele incwadi ngemva kwemizuzu engu-18 ngalolo suku, izinto zazingase zibe nzima nakakhulu.
Manje sase sine-$800K esingaphila ngayo, futhi saqala unyaka ogcwele ukumodela okuqinile ku-PyTorch, sikhuluma nenqwaba yezinkampani esigodini ukuze siqonde ukuthi ukuhlanganiswa kohlelo kungasetshenziswa kuphi ekusebenzeni, nezinye izigigaba ezingathandeki kakhulu. NgoJulayi 2018, sibe nenqubekelaphambili ethile kumamodeli nama-athikili ambalwa ku-NIPs ne-ICLR, kodwa kwakungekho ukuqonda kokuthi amamodeli weleveli efinyelelekayo ngaleso sikhathi angasetshenziswa kuphi ekusebenzeni.
Ukujwayelana okokuqala ne-blockchain
Izwe le-blockchain liyizwe eliyinqaba kakhulu. Ngamgwema ngamabomu isikhathi eside, kodwa ekugcineni saphambana. Ekusesheni kwethu izinhlelo zokusebenza zokuhlanganiswa kohlelo, ekugcineni sifinyelele esiphethweni sokuthi okuthile okumpambano yohlelo lokuhlanganisa kanye nesihloko esihlobene sokuqinisekisa okusemthethweni kungaba usizo kakhulu ezinkontilekeni ezihlakaniphile. Sasingazi lutho nge-blockchain, kodwa isigodi sasingeke sibe isigodi uma phakathi kwabangane bami bakudala bengekho okungenani abambalwa ababenesithakazelo kulesi sihloko. Saqala ukuxhumana nabo futhi sabona ukuthi ukuqinisekiswa okusemthethweni kuhle, kodwa kunezinkinga ezicindezelayo ku-blockchain. Ngo-2018, u-Ethereum wayesevele enenkinga yokusingatha umthwalo, futhi ukuthuthukisa iphrothokholi ezosebenza ngokushesha kakhulu kwakuyindaba ecindezela kakhulu.
Thina, yiqiniso, asikude nabokuqala ukuza nombono onjalo, kodwa ukutadisha okusheshayo kwemakethe kubonise ukuthi nakuba kukhona ukuncintisana lapho, futhi ephakeme, kungenzeka ukuyinqoba. Okubaluleke nakakhulu, mina no-Ilya singabahleli bezinhlelo abahle kakhulu. Umsebenzi wami ku-MemSQL, vele, wawusondele kakhulu ekuthuthukiseni amaphrothokholi kunokwakha amamodeli ku-PyTorch, futhi u-Ilya kwa-Google wayengomunye wabathuthukisi be-TensorFlow.
Ngaqala ukuxoxa ngalo mbono nozakwethu bangaphambili be-MemSQL kanye nozakwethu kusukela ezinsukwini ze-ICPC, futhi umqondo wokwakha i-protocol ye-blockchain esheshayo wathakazelisa kubantu abane kwabahlanu engikhulume nabo. Ngosuku olulodwa ngo-Agasti 2018, i-NeAR ikhule isuka kubantu abathathu yaya kwabayisikhombisa, futhi yaba yisishiyagalolunye ngesonto elilandelayo lapho siqasha inhloko yezokusebenza kanye nenhloko yokuthuthukiswa kwebhizinisi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izinga labantu lalingakholeki. Bonke onjiniyela bebevela eqenjini lokuqala le-MemSQL noma basebenze iminyaka eminingi kwa-Google naku-Facebook. Abathathu bethu babenezindondo zegolide ze-ICPC. Omunye wonjiniyela abayisikhombisa bokuqala uwine i-ICPC kabili. Ngaleso sikhathi, kwakukhona ompetha bomhlaba abayisithupha (namuhla kukhona ompetha bomhlaba abayisishiyagalolunye abaphindwe kabili, kodwa manje ababili babo basebenza e-NEAR, ngakho izibalo ziye zaba ngcono ngokuhamba kwesikhathi).
Kwakuwukukhula okukhulu, kodwa kwakunenkinga. Akekho owayesebenzela mahhala, futhi ihhovisi elisenkabeni ye-SF nalo alishibhile, futhi ukumboza irenti yamahhovisi kanye namaholo ezinga lesigodi kubantu abayisishiyagalolunye okwakusele ku-$800K ngemva konyaka kwaba yinkinga. EDUZE sekusele izinyanga eziwu-1.5 ngaphambi kokuthi kusele uziro ebhange.
Venture capital investments futhi
Ukuba nabahleli bezinhlelo abayisikhombisa abaqine kakhulu egumbini lebhodi elimhlophe abanesipiliyoni seminyaka engaba ngu-8, sikwazile ukuqhamuka nedizayini ephusile yephrothokholi futhi sabuyela ekukhulumeni nabatshalizimali. Ngeshwa, abatshalizimali abaningi bagwema i-blockchain. Ngaleso sikhathi (futhi ngisho namanje) kwakukhona inani elimangalisayo losomathuba kulo mkhakha, futhi kwakunzima ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwabafana abangathí sina kanye nosomathuba. Njengoba abatshalizimali abajwayelekile begwema i-blockchain, sidinga ukuya kubatshalizimali abatshala imali ngokukhethekile ku-blockchain. Kukhona futhi eziningi zalezi esigodini, kodwa isethi ehluke ngokuphelele, enokugqagqana okuncane nabatshalizimali abangagxili ku-blockchain. Bekulindelekile, sagcina sinabantu kukholomu yethu yokuphola futhi ezimalini ezinjalo ekuxhawulaneni okukodwa. Esinye isikhwama esinjalo sasiyiMetastable.
I-Metastable iyisikhwama esiphezulu, futhi ukuthola u-YEBO kubo kungasho ukuvala umzuliswano ngokushesha. Besesivele sifinyelele ku-3-4 NOs ngaleso sikhathi, futhi inani lemali yokukhuluma nalo lalincipha ngokushesha, njengoba kwakunjalo ngaphambi kokuba i-NEAR ishiywe ngaphandle kokuziphilisa. I-Metastable yayinabafana abahlakaniphe ngendlela emangalisayo abasebenza kuyo, umsebenzi wabo kwakuwukuhlukanisa imibono yethu futhi bathole amaphutha amancane kakhulu ekwakhiweni kwethu. Njengoba umklamo wethu ngaleso sikhathi wawunezinsuku ezimbalwa ubudala, njengoba kwakunjalo nakho kwethu ku-blockchain ngaleso sikhathi, embuthanweni we-Metastable babhubhisa mina no-Ilya. Inani lama-NO ku-piggy bank likhuphuke ngelinye ngaphezulu.
Emasontweni ambalwa alandelayo, umsebenzi ophambi kwebhodi waqhubeka futhi umklamo waqala ukuhlangana waba yinto engathi sína. Impela sawuphuthuma umhlangano wethu noMetastable. Ukube umhlangano ubukhona manje, bekungeke kwenzeke ukuthi usicekele phansi kalula kanje. Kodwa iMetastable ngeke ihlangane nathi ngemva kwamasonto amabili nje kuphela. Okufanele ngikwenze?
Isixazululo sitholakele. Ngosuku lokuzalwa kuka-Ilya, wayephethe izoso ophahleni lwendlu yakhe (okuyinto, njengophahla oluningi ezindlini zokuhlala eNyakatho Fleet, kwakuyipaki egcinwe kahle), lapho bonke abasebenzi be-NEAR nabangane babemenywe, kuhlanganise no-Ivan. Bogaty, umngane Ilya owayesebenza Metastable ngaleso sikhathi, kanye nabanye abatshalizimali. Ngokuphambene nokuthumela kubatshalizimali egumbini lomhlangano, izoso yayiyithuba lalo lonke ithimba ESEDUZE lokuxoxa endaweni nje evamile, ubhiya usesandleni, no-Ivan nabanye abatshalizimali mayelana nesakhiwo nemigomo yethu yamanje. Ngasekupheleni kwendawo yokosa inyama, u-Ivan weza kithi wathi kubonakala sengathi kuzoba nengqondo ukuthi siphinde sibonane.
Lo mhlangano uhambe kangcono kakhulu, futhi mina no-Ilya sakwazi ukuvikela umklamo emibuzweni ecashile. I-Metastable yasimema ukuthi sihlangane nomsunguli wayo i-Naval Ravikant ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva ehhovisi le-Angellist. Ihhovisi lalingenamuntu ngokuphelele, ngoba cishe yonke inkampani yayisihambile i-Burning Man. Kulo mhlangano, u-CHA waphenduka u-YEBO, futhi EDUZE kwakungasekho eduze nokufa. Uphelile umhlangano, sangena ekheshini. Izindaba zokuthi iMetastable ibitshala imali kithi zasabalala ngokushesha. Ikheshi lalingakafiki esitezi sokuqala lapho u-YES wesibili, naye ovela esikhwameni esiphezulu, efika eposini lethu ngaphandle kokuhlanganyela kwethu. Kwase kungasekho o-NO kulokho kuqoqwa kwezimali, futhi ngemva kwesonto sase sixazulula inkinga kabhaka futhi ukuze silingane okunikezwayo okuhle kakhulu emzuliswaneni olinganiselwe.
I-takeaway ebalulekile: Esigodini, ukuthinta komuntu siqu ngezinye izikhathi kubaluleke kakhulu kunesethulo esihle noma umklamo oklanywe kahle. Ezigabeni zokuqala zempilo yenkampani, abatshalizimali bayaqonda ukuthi umkhiqizo othile noma idizayini izoshintsha izikhathi eziningi, ngakho-ke bagxile kakhulu eqenjini nasekuzimiseleni kwabo ukuphindaphinda ngokushesha.
Isivinini akuyona inkinga enkulu
Ekupheleni kuka-2018, siye ku-ETH San Francisco hackathon. Lena enye yama-hackathons amaningi emhlabeni jikelele anikezelwe ku-Ethereum. Ku-hackathon sasineqembu elikhulu elifuna ukwakha inguqulo yokuqala yebhuloho phakathi kwe-NEAR ne-Ether.
Ngahlukana neqembu futhi nganquma ukuthatha enye indlela. Ngithole u-Vlad Zamfir, umgqugquzeli owaziwayo ku-ecosystem owayebhala inguqulo yakhe ye-sharding ye-Ethereum, waya kuye wathi "Sawubona, Vlad, ngibhale i-sharding ku-MemSQL, masibambe iqhaza eqenjini elifanayo." UVlad wayenentombazane, futhi kwacaca ebusweni bakhe ukuthi angizange ngikhethe isikhathi esingcono kakhulu sokuxhumana. Kodwa intombazane yathi, "Kuzwakala kupholile, Vlad, kufanele umthathe eqenjini." Ngagcina kanjalo eqenjini noVlad Zamfir, futhi emahoreni angu-24 alandelayo ngafunda ukuthi umklamo wakhe wawusebenza kanjani futhi ngabhala i-prototype naye.
Siwine i-hackathon. Kodwa lokho kwakungeyona into ethakazelisa kakhulu. Okuthakazelisa kakhulu ukuthi ngesikhathi mina naye sase sibhale cishe kusukela ekuqaleni phakathi kwama-shards, ithimba lethu elikhulu, elihlele ukubhala ibhuloho, alikaqali ngisho nomsebenzi okwamanje. Bebesazama ukusungula indawo yokuthuthukisa indawo yeSolidity.
Ngokusekelwe emiphumeleni yale hackathon kanye nenani elikhulu lomsebenzisi-izifundo eziye zayilandela, saqaphela ukuthi inkinga enkulu ngama-blockchains akusona isivinini sabo. Inkinga enkulu ukuthi izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-blockchain zinzima kakhulu ukuzibhala futhi zinzima nakakhulu kubasebenzisi bokugcina. Ukugxila kwethu kunwetshiwe ngo-2019, singenise abantu abaqonda ulwazi lomsebenzisi, sahlanganisa ithimba eligxile kakhulu kumava onjiniyela kuphela, futhi lenza ukugxila okuyinhloko konjiniyela nabasebenzisi.
Ukwakha ukuqashelwa
Njengoba kunemali eyanele ebhange ukuze ungakhathazeki ngomzuliswano olandelayo okwamanje, kanye nekhodi yeqembu eliqinile elibhala nokusebenza ekwakhiweni, manje kwase kuyisikhathi sokusebenza ngokuqashelwa.
Sasisanda kuqala, futhi esiqhudelana nabo base benezisekelo ezinkulu zabalandeli. Ingabe ikhona indlela yokufinyelela lezi zisekelo zabalandeli ukuze wonke umuntu azuze? Sasihlezi eqenjini elincane esitolo sekhofi iRed Door eSan Francisco ngolunye usuku ekuseni lapho kufika umcabango omangalisayo. Emhlabeni lapho inqwaba yezivumelwano ziqhudelana ukuze zibe into enkulu elandelayo, abantu empeleni abanawo umthombo wolwazi mayelana nalezi zimiso ngaphandle kwezinto zabo zokumaketha. Kungaba kuhle uma othile ohlakaniphe ngokwanele engama nabacwaningi nabathuthukisi bamaphrothokholi anjalo phambi kwebhodi futhi awalahle kudoti. Lawa mavidiyo mahle kuwo wonke umuntu. Kubo (uma bengadabuki) ngoba umphakathi wabo uyabona ukuthi umklamo wabo akuwona utshani. Kithina, kuyithuba lokuqashelwa umphakathi wabo, kanye nethuba lokufunda imibono emihle. Cishe wonke amaphrothokholi, kuhlanganise ne-NEAR, athuthukiswa ngokukhululekile, ngakho-ke imibono nekhodi yonke akufihliwe, kodwa le mibono ngezinye izikhathi ingaba nzima ukuyithola. Ungafunda okuningi ngehora elilodwa phambi kwebhodi nomuntu ohlakaniphile.
Lesi sigodi saphinde saba usizo. IDUZE ikude nenqubo yomthetho okuwukuphela kwayo enehhovisi ku-Northern Fleet, futhi umqondo wokuqoshwa kwamavidiyo anjalo wahlangatshezwana nesasasa elikhulu ngabathuthukisi bezinye izivumelwano. Ngokushesha sabeka imihlangano yokuqala ekhalendeni ukuze sirekhode amavidiyo nabafana ababekhona ngokwendawo e-Northern Fleet, nanamuhla. cishe amashumi amane kakade.
Ezinyangeni ezalandela, sahlangana nabantu abangenakubalwa ezingqungqutheleni abaqale bafunda OKUSEDUZE kulawo mavidiyo, futhi okungenani izisombululo ezimbili zedizayini ESEDUZE zaba khona ngenxa yokujwayela ulwazi olusuka kulawo mavidiyo, ngakho-ke umbono usebenze kahle kakhulu iqhinga lokumaketha nanjengethuba. Thola impumelelo yakamuva embonini ngokushesha okukhulu.
Umlando oqhubekayo
Iqembu lalikhula, futhi into ebaluleke kakhulu empilweni yokuqala ukuthi ube nemali eyanele yokusekela ukukhula. Ukuqoqwa kwezimali kwesithathu nakho akuzange kuqale ngempumelelo ngaso leso sikhathi, sithole ama-NO amaningana, kodwa YEBO eyodwa yaphinde yabheka phansi yonke into, futhi sayivala ngokushesha. Ukuxhaswa kwezimali kwesine ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka kwaqala ngo-YEBO cishe ngokushesha, sathola uxhaso oluvela ku-Andreessen Horowitz, isikhwama esiphezulu kokubili ngokomgomo nasemkhakheni we-blockchain, futhi nge-a16z njengomtshali-zimali umjikelezo uvalwe ngokushesha kakhulu. Emzuliswaneni wokugcina .
ICoronavirus yenze ezayo izinguquko kule nqubo. Kakade ngaphambi kwalolu bhubhane, saqala ukuqasha abantu ukude, kwathi lapho kunqunywa ukuthi kuvalwe indlunkulu ngoMashi, emasontweni amabili ngaphambi kokuthi kuqale ukuvalwa okusemthethweni, sayeka ngokuphelele ukukhetha abantu bendawo, futhi namuhla I-NEAR yinkampani enkulu esabalalisiwe.
Ngo-Ephreli walo nyaka, saqala uhlelo lokwethulwa. Kuze kube uSepthemba, sisekela wonke amanodi ngokwethu, futhi umthetho olandelwayo wawusebenza ngefomethi emaphakathi. Manje ama-node kancane kancane athathelwa indawo ama-node avela emphakathini, futhi ngo-September 24 sizocisha wonke ama-node ethu, okuzoba usuku lapho i-NEAR ihamba ngokukhululeka futhi silahlekelwa noma yikuphi ukulawula phezu kwayo.
Intuthuko ayigcini lapho. Iphrothokholi inomshini owakhelwe ngaphakathi wokuthuthela ezinguqulweni ezintsha, futhi usemningi umsebenzi osalindile.
Ekuphethweni
Lokhu okuthunyelwe kokuqala kubhulogi yebhizinisi ESEDUZE. Ezinyangeni ezizayo, ngizokutshela ukuthi i-NEAR isebenza kanjani, kungani umhlaba ungcono nge-protocol ye-blockchain ekahle kunangaphandle kwayo, futhi yiziphi ama-algorithms athakazelisayo nezinkinga esizixazulule ngesikhathi sokuthuthukiswa: sharding, ukukhiqizwa kwenombolo okungahleliwe, ama-algorithms wokuvumelana, amabhuloho nge amanye amaketanga, okuthiwa Imithethonqubo ye-Layer 2 nokunye okuningi. Silungiselele inhlanganisela enhle yesayensi edumile kanye nokuthunyelwe okujulile kwezobuchwepheshe.
Uhlu oluncane lwezinsiza zalabo abafuna ukumba bajule manje:
1. Bona ukuthi ukuthuthukiswa ngaphansi kwe-NEAR kubukeka kanjani, futhi ungazama nge-IDE eku-inthanethi .
2. Ikhodi yephrothokholi ivuliwe, ungayikhetha nge-spatula .
3. Uma ufuna ukwethula i-node yakho kunethiwekhi futhi usize ukuhlukaniswa kwayo, ungajoyina uhlelo. . Kukhona okhuluma isiRashiya , lapho abantu bedlule ohlelweni futhi basebenzise amanodi futhi bangasiza ngenqubo.
4. Amadokhumenti abanzi kanjiniyela ngesiNgisi ayatholakala .
5. Ungakwazi ukulandela zonke izindaba in Russian in the osekushiwo , futhi ku
Ekugcineni, ngosuku olwandulela izolo sethule i-hackathon eku-inthanethi ngesikhwama somklomelo esingu-$50K, lapho kuhlongozwa khona ukubhala izinhlelo zokusebenza ezithakazelisayo ezisebenzisa ibhuloho phakathi kwe-NEAR ne-Ethereum. Ulwazi olwengeziwe (ngesiNgisi) .
Sizobonana maduze!
