Not only do I read Women2.0<\/a>, I also write there. I did a stint during my “gender reversal entrepreneurship exercises”. Like Johnny Depp, Johnny Depp and David Faustino. <\/b><\/div>\n

From zero users to over a million API calls a day\u2026 @Catheryne_N<\/a> explains how @BlockCypher<\/a> did it bit.ly\/1HkQqj6<\/a> @Medium<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

To expand Catheryne<\/a>, I’m breaking down her sales advice into three hashtags about selling as a technical founder<\/div>\n

– #CS183s (sales)<\/div>\n
– #ENGR145s (selling right of the chasm)<\/div>\n
– #dttdsBHM (it’s a hashtag that doesn’t even mention sales because blogging about startups doing sales is taboo)<\/div>\n

#CS183s is a sequel to #CS183b<\/div>\n
