Tips for starting a business :
1. The “Does it matter?”-Test
Trust your emotions.
Know that a problem can suddenly become an opportunity to start from scratch without a legacy to carry on. A project has to meet specific needs or create something compelling, like a feature that sparks an emotion that you want to see.
2. Make a little, Try a Little and Sell a Little
Avoid getting too much money too soon.
3. Selling Your project & Yourself
4. Community organizing
Identifying the people around you with whom you can create a common, passionate cause
5. Executing your project
Think of execution as a series of rapid prototypes. Great projects get instant feedback and do instant adjustment cycles. The more iterations you can rapidly go through, the faster you can execute your project.
Starting your own business with “Lean start-up” :
Lean startup is a methodology for developing businesses and products, which aims to shorten product development cycles and rapidly discover if a proposed business model is viable, because the primary objective is to have a safe cash flow which then can be invested in risky developments.
Central to the lean startup methodology is the assumption that when startup companies invest their time into iteratively building products or services to meet the needs of early customers, the company can reduce market risks like creating a complete product that doesn’t appeal to the customers or like creating a lot of features that are not used or required by the customers. So the advantage is that there is no need for large amounts of initial project funding and expensive product launches and failures. This is done with two techniques :
A minimum viable product “MVP” (similar to a pilot experiment) is the version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort
A split or A/B test is an experiment in which different versions of a product are offered to customers at the same time. The goal of a split test is to observe differences in behavior between the two groups and to measure the impact of each version on an actionable metric.
Customer feedback during the development of products or services is integral to the lean startup process, and ensures that the company does not invest time designing features or services that consumers do not want. Customer feedback is measured through two processes, using key performance indicators and a continuous deployment process.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
