The Internet grows noisier with each passing year. We spend endless hours trying to tame it, falling down countless Internet rabbit holes along the way. Caught in a tidal wave of newsletters, podcasts, and Twitter threads, we surf the web, jumping from thought to thought, tab to tab, hoping for an intellectual breakthrough, exhilarated, hopeful, but ultimately exhausted.
We are entering the golden age of internet creativity. Many of the world’s most insightful people are freely emptying their brains into cyberspace. But that knowledge is scattered — buried in the deep corners of the interwebs, found only after wading through endless layers of mediocre, empty content and marketing, and consumed in fleeting social media feeds that strip context and discourage reflection.
People in love with interesting ideas need a dedicated place to collect and connect the dots. That’ why we are building startupy - a human-curated search and discovery engine for the Internet’s best knowledge.
We need to transition from information as an interruption technology to information as a thinking tool.
When we go online, we enter an environment that promotes cursory reading, distracted thinking, and superficial learning. Social media is a double edged sword. On one hand, it’s a source of genuine insight and connection. On the other, notifications, endless scrolling, subconscious triggers and an obsession with what’s “new” mean we have no control over how we spend our time, and we’ve relegated the things we love to a fleeting feed. Infinite access to information will either destroy you or strengthen you. At Startupy, we want to make it nourish you.
In the age of information overload, the ultimate luxury is context.
The Internet made everyone a journalist, but as information becomes more abundant, the connections drawn between disparate pieces are becoming increasingly important. Startupy changes our relationship to information from one that is disjointed, chaotic, and grounded in linear thinking to a coherent graph of interconnected content and ideas.
Finding the next big productivity app is easy, but making sense of the productivity landscape is not. Startupy changes our relationship to information from one that is disjointed, chaotic, and grounded in linear thinking to a coherent graph of content and ideas, presented associatively.
Creative output starts with abundance, not a blank screen.
The power of the unaided mind is highly overrated. Humans think best when we have access to a lot of ideas in front of us. Everything builds on what came before. In order for us to truly create and contribute to the world, we have to be able to connect countless dots, to cross-pollinate ideas from a wealth of places, and to combine and recombine these to build new things.
