TikTokSoftware used to look broken until it worked. Now it looks finished when it's barely started.
TikTokWe didn’t “find” startup magic in Durham… we had to build it. My wife and I are both founders. Raising money was good… but scaling rounds felt impossible. • We had to leave the state to raise her lead round • Chattanooga showed us what a real founder ecosystem looks like • It’s founders in the same space, all day, every day • So we brought that vibe back to Durham with Bull House Would you join a founder space like this? Comment yes/no.

I think the traditional 40-hour work week is kind of BS and that's not going to be a thing. And I think what that's going to create is more people that want to do gig work or start a part-time startup and then eventually transition into a full-time startup.
Austin Armstrong, on the death of the 40-hour work week
In this AI era where there's a lot of job displacement, people are seeking in-person experiences, in-person connection again. When you're able to automate everything online, you end up freeing up a lot of your time. What do you do with that time? A lot of us want to do more things in person, be around other people, build connection and relationships.
Austin Armstrong, on the comeback of in-person community
We're just being the change that we want to see. Why wait for somebody else to create the idea when we can just do it. Let's lead the charge here and create the space that we wish existed for us.
Austin Armstrong, on why he built Bullhouse instead of waiting
I'm pretty good historically at noticing emerging trends and trying to get on them pretty early. I went from being the person in the back of the room to the person that spoke at that conference to business owner and owner of the conference in a matter of years.
