This looks awesome, the owner of this substack is a good resource and writes lots of case studies.

I am not based in Portland myself but I run the ticketing and membership program for Synth Library Portland which is a really cool spot. The biggest thing with all these spaces is how to make it work financially over the long term.

Feel free to ping me.

hello!! I have been planning to reach out to Synth Library Portland; it's awesome to hear from someone connected to it. I know they recently got kicked out of their Lloyd Center location and were looking for a home. I was hoping to talk to them about this. I will email you

Shoot me email, I might not be the best for the details on that but I could intro someone on their who might be better on their team. I run their memberships as part of a platform called Pools https://pools.events/o/synth_library_portland/

Oddly relevant for my multiyear project on getting my dog to vibe code b2b saas products https://dogomation.darefail.com/

Pretty neat! I actually ran across that right before publishing - I didn't want to see what was around until after I had the whole thing locked in. I love the novel input!

I saw https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47139675 and figured this multiyear project was relevant for more serious dog owners

I run a live chat / SMS / email tool and decided to test sending the customer's requests directly to the code base. They are always a few who complain about certain buttons not being in a good spot or wording or not having dark mode.

This is a way for them to customize it to what they want

Thanks for sharing, absolutely amazing

This is sick - I happen to run a site for DIY and community organizations like yours. We have proven the best way to fundraise is to throw events like you did but to upsell people on a recurring donation when they get the ticket.

On the off chance you are throwing another event, I would love to help you raise much more than $800 one time (my site is https://withfriends.events/)

Thanks! We are working on another event for december. Our goal is to do a show roughly every 3 months. Whats the best way to reach you?

Email in the profile or james@withfriends.events

How do you raise money for an event and also keep track of things for taxes?

Short answer is I would just recommend one of the tons of tax software out there specific to LLC, individual, 501c3. My site helps with the raising money part and just integrates and gives advice for that

I have been testing out better methods than the typical cold calling and emails and think I really nailed it.

I found this technology has many applications beyond outbound sales as well

Yep https://dare.fail/ but also at least finish the things

This is the craziest thing I’ve seen in awhile

He was originally a big investor not a founder (or at least set it up to look that way)
