The DevTools VC - Dana Oshiro from Heavybit

Dana Oshiro is a General Partner at HeavyBit. HeavyBit is a VC that invests exclusively in developer-first startups.
What we discuss:
One sharp thing. Finding an addressable chunk of a bigger opportunity.
- Thinking big & small
- Are 5 people seriously going to support our migration from DataDog? At Facebook you had a lot of support people/systems you're forgetting
- Finding the sidedoor
Stepping up as a founder
- Fear of hitting up the people you respect.
- Best founders build for themselves
- Do founders get better at putting themselves out there?
- Speaking in front of people to make change - "there's a new approach. We deserve better!"
Movements
- DevOps & JamStack
- Don't try to control the movement
- Joining into other movements
