Community memory

Nothing gets lost.

Every genuine contribution becomes community memory. Earnest gets more valuable the more people give — because the next founder with the same question finds the answer instantly.

  • How do I get SEIS advance assurance approved quickly?

    value 92

    HMRC takes 4–6 weeks. Ship a clear one-pager: what you sell, who buys it, how you make money, and a cap table with pre-money valuation. Attach articles of association and the shareholders' agreement. Ours was approved in 19 days after we removed a convertible-loan reference — HMRC hates ambiguity on share classes.

  • Which UK pre-seed funds actually reply to cold outreach?

    value 88

    In my last raise: Ada Ventures, Concept, Playfair, Fuel Ventures and Haatch replied inside a week. Others (won't name) either ghost or want a warm intro. Warm intros still 3–4x your response rate — happy to intro anyone building B2B SaaS to Check Warner at Ada.

  • Best UK-friendly stack for pricing experiments on a landing page?

    value 84

    PostHog (free tier is generous for <1M events) for feature flags + funnels, Stripe Payment Links for the actual price tests (no code), and Statsig if you outgrow PostHog. Skip Optimizely — overkill and their EU pricing is opaque. We ran 6 price points in 3 weeks and settled 2x higher than launch.
