Every now and again you hear a line in a podcast, book or from a boss that sticks with you. For me, it was:
People don t want your time. They want your energy.
Fifteen minutes of full focus beats thirty minutes half-scrolling your phone. That same idea is shaping how we re building @Meet-Ting - not just another scheduling tool, but a more emotionally intelligent scheduler.
A recurring request from Ting users was for a shareable "scheduling link". No matter how much we believe in our unique approach, Calendly has changed the game, and links are ubiquitous across the internet.
But Ting s mission is to keep the user and guest in places they already communicate, like email or WhatsApp.
So @dbul and I asked ourselves: how can we give users a link without building a web app? The answer was to go back to basics.
Me & @marianaprazeres will be at Web Summit in Lisbon (presenting on Weds on Alpha) this week and we're in San Fran (16-20) next week - if any builders want to connect with us, we'd love to say hello!
One of the most important types of meetings? A job interview.
We re building an AI scheduling assistant that actually works (our north star from day one: holy $hit, this works ). We have active users, strong demand, and big growth ahead - and now we need an engineer to help us scale.
We launched Ting a few weeks ago and I ve had a lot of people ask how we got noticed + grew the waitlist.
I wanted to share some of that here, but also zoom out into how we re thinking about building and growing at the same time - so I wrote a longer piece about it.
