Hi everyone, I'm Alex and I've just joined Contra. I've designed for super early stage startups (some of them backed by YC, Sequoia, Softbank). The work on this feed is incredible and I'm super inspired by what I see!
What's one thing you wish you knew when you started here?Would love any advice for my first month here. 👻
congratulations to you
Thank you so much Ciro!
Welcome to contra Alexander
Thank you Samson!
Welcome to the community, Alexander! Thats an impressive background with the YC and Sequoia startups. My best advice is that to engage with the feed early on, the quality of feedback here is incredible for leveling up your work.
Ohh hiiii welcome here. I'm still trying to grow my career here but surely I gain my discovery score by chatting with people in the comments without pro. I look forward to your success)))
Getting Pro is only 'Medium Impact' to your score, compared to Profile Quality, Profile Completion, Earnings, Reviews etc which are 'High Impact'. I wish you the best! :)
Welcome to Contra, Alex! Your startup design work looks impressive. Keep engaging with the community — there's tons of inspiration here!
Thank you so much Stephanie!
Welcome, Alex. You’re in good company here, looking forward to seeing your work.
