Congratulations Captain! 🎉 🎉🎉 You have won the following award/awards:

What does it mean for you to win this title?

It really shows you what consistent work can do. I am super grateful to be able to interview and talk to amazing Entrepreneurs, Startups, VCs, and other leaders in the tech ecosystem, and this award is a great indication of the amazing effects of collaborations.

How do you or your company intend to embrace the responsibility of this title in 2023?

Keep pushing forward and innovating the Tech Media space. We are constantly learning and improving our processes, strategies, and tactics. The more we optimize, the more opportunities come, and the ability to showcase our leadership in this industry.

What goals are you looking forward to accomplishing in 2023 (whether it be through company initiatives or your personal journey)?

Company-wise, we have Goals and KPIs that have to do with revenue metrics, distribution, and client engagement.

On the content creation side, we also have Goals and KPIs that are focused on impact, as well as several vanity metrics in terms of followers. We believe in a two-pillar model:

1. Increase Content quality.
2. Increase content distribution (Quantity)

Which trend(s) are you most excited about in 2023? Share your reason.

The adoption of ChatGPT:

• Content creation productivity will skyrocket.

• More work will be allocated to creativity instead of manual technical writing.

2022 had been crazy, especially in Tech - what with layoff, web3 fraud, and AI! Which trend are you most concerned about? What solutions can you think of? Be as brief or as detailed as you like.

VC’s, for sure. I think the current VC/Startup model needs to be adjusted. I don’t know how yet, but it just doesn’t make sense to see some of the current investment structures in startups.

Also, private valuations need to be handled in a more careful way, and not just based on what a biased VC investor thinks.

We would love your feedback on HackerNoon as a tech publication! How has your experience been with us?

I love Hackernoon. Just ask my friends. I consider Hackernoon to be the leading tech publication, together with Techcrunch.

Any words of wisdom you’d like to share with us?
