Here's the thing: I'm incredibly lucky. I'm working in a field I absolutely love (the intersection of technology and medicine), with a brilliant and compassionate group of people who I respect greatly, in an environment flowing in autonomy, doing work I find unbelievably interesting and impactful. There is nothing I would rather be doing, and (for the most part) no group of people I'd rather be doing it with. As someone who sought such a situation for a long time, that's not a statement I take lightly.
So what's the problem? Anxiety. So much anxiety. An onslaught of worry and fear, (quite literally) every minute of every day, all self-imposed and mostly centered on a fear of embarrassment. Do I know enough? Am I doing enough? What if I don't know the answer to that extremely basic question? How do I make sure that no one "finds me out"? Many imposter syndrome concerns: some of which are grounded in reality but none of which are helpful to me.
These thoughts fill up my mind in such a way that I don't have many brain cycles left for learning new ideas, solving problems or remembering details. (I have OCD, and these thoughts become obsessions that don't let up.) This creates a negative feedback loop: anxiety leads to decreased performance (in terms of learning/solving/remembering/accomplishing), which leads to anxiety about my performance, which further decreases my performance. As a result, I find myself becoming the imposter I'm trying to conceal, and am often unhappy.
Why am I writing this post? I'm seeking understanding, support, and related stories/situations. I'm not seeking a cure-all. I'm not seeking a pharmaceutical or therapeutic recommendation. Just support.

PROBLEM:
We are flooded with content and staying up-to-date with topic we are interested in is getting really hard.
I am extremely interested in design. There is no single website that I can visit to stay completely up-to-date with design.
I need to visit dribbble, behance to see which graphics are the most voted for today = what are the current trends. I need to visit designernews.com, reddit.com to see what are the most voted articles about design. Then I should go to sidebar.io and check out the links there, and finally I also should visit medium.com to check what are the trending design articles today.
It may take an hour or more to do all this but only then can I be sure that I am truly up-to-date with design.
SOLUTION:
With Elfinite we want to significantly reduce the time we have to spend to stay up-to-date with the topics that matter to us.
Elfinite continually collects links from the most popular online content providers (i.e. YouTube, HN, NYT) and checks the number of shares (total number of likes + shares + comments) on fb.
Finally, it rates each link by applying our algorithm (publishing time + growth number + number of shares ). The highest rated links are then published on the main page in the appropriate category.
ABOUT US:
There are two people working on this project right now. I am the programming guy, and @brtkbrtk is responsible for product management.
WHY WE ARE APPLYING:
First, we need money for AWS and marketing. Second, it would be great to learn more from folks who have built great tech businesses.
PRIOR WORK:
I was a manager at COMARCH SA (5500+ emp.) where we were developing teleradiology solution: https://teleradiology.comarch.com/. I was fully responsible for this project.

PROBLEM:
We are flooded with content and staying up-to-date with topic we are interested in is getting really hard.
I am extremely interested in design. There is no single website that I can visit to stay completely up-to-date with design.
I need to visit dribbble, behance to see which graphics are the most voted for today = what are the current trends. I need to visit designernews.com, reddit.com to see what are the most voted articles about design. Then I should go to sidebar.io and check out the links there, and finally I also should visit medium.com to check what are the trending design articles today.
It may take an hour or more to do all this but only then can I be sure that I am truly up-to-date with design.
SOLUTION:
With Elfinite we want to significantly reduce the time we have to spend to stay up-to-date with the topics that matter to us.
Elfinite continually collects links from the most popular online content providers (i.e. YouTube, HN, NYT) and checks the number of shares (total number of likes + shares + comments) on fb.
Finally, it rates each link by applying our algorithm (publishing time + growth number + number of shares ). The highest rated links are then published on the main page in the appropriate category.
ABOUT US:
There are two people working on this project right now. I am the programming guy, and @brtkbrtk is responsible for product management.
WHY WE ARE APPLYING:
First, we need money for AWS and marketing. Second, it would be great to learn more from folks who have built great tech businesses.
