Influencer campaigns deliver unpredictable ROI and require constant manual management
Marketing teams struggle to identify which influencers will actually drive conversions, not just vanity metrics. They manually vet creators, negotiate deals, track performance across platforms, and have limited ability to improve results based on data from previous campaigns. Each campaign starts from scratch, wasting time and budget on trial-and-error.

GovAuctions lets you browse government auctions at once
I've long been into finding deals on government auction sites (seizures, surplus sales etc.) - right now for example San Diego DHS is selling 26 tons of lead shot, with bidding starting at $1,000 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯It has historically been extremely tedious though: scanning dozens of janky sites which have interminable page loading times; back buttons take you all the way back to the homepage etc.The site I built - GovAuctions - lets you search every government surplus auction at once. You can filter by location, category, and price, save items to a watchlist, and get alerts when new auctions match what you're looking for.Let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions, and if you find any deals in your area!

Founders of estonian e-businesses – is it worth it?
Hey there,I'm currently considering opening an Estonian e-business for a small SaaS project. As somebody from Germany, establishing a company is a bit tedious and bureaucratic. Now I've come across the Estonian e-residency program and the option to run a business there. I don't care so much about the tax implications, but more about the bureaucracy aspect. It all sounds quite good. But marketing is marketing and real life often is something else. So, long story short: I would be happy if somebody could share their real-life experiences. Was it/is it worth it? Are there any pitfalls?Thanks!
