This reminds me of The Million Dollar Homepage[0]

I have seen this comment so many times in last 10 years that it's now nauseating.

Every time anyone tries to do anything unique or original and people will start comparing it with this 2005 website.

The idea and execution of OP is quite original. Don't try to hijack away his creative endeavour for few upvotes.


Its not that is isn't original, in fact thats whats great about it!

It captures the same value the million dollar site did, but in an entirely original way. Thats at least how I take such a comparison.


It's nothing like the million dollar homepage. He isn't actually asking for money.


He’s asking for $1 per month that you want to be co-ceo. He has a paypal link to send the money.


it’s a joke. it’s obvious that it’s a joke. he’s promoting his nudge app. that’s all.


Ok, I'll subscribe now to get my foot on the top of the ladder, but eventually I hope to work my way down to Org Chart Designer.


Damn impressive Series B investment round


Won't you still have to pay minimum wage to all Co-ceos in California?

This sounds like a major liability


Not if you don't do any work, I suppose.

(It's also clearly satirical)


That was really clever (Marketing).

And got me thinking about a service, where the "CEO" get pay $1 to manage a "worker", to stop him from procrastinating. The "worker", which really is the customer, pays to have this service.


Such a service already exists. I'm not able to find the name right now.


Wouldn't be Boss as a service[0], you were thinking of?

Can I be CPO instead and burn wild amounts of cash on fancy tables and other nonsense?


You are welcome to! Just pay for your subscription in the usual way but print slightly different business cards (which Nudge unfortunately won't be able to pay for)


Funny gag may turn into a way for someone to take control of his Chrome extensions.


I would presume he still holds a controlling amount of the company shares, and thus the board. He would likely be able to dis-appoint the (cloud?) of co-CEOs at his pleasure.


I would jump in, to make this company transparent and share the numbers with the world, hopefully enough co-CEOs will vote for the same.


I wonder how "trapezoidal" are "we" going to be for "pivoting" once the bubble will burst


so I can be the CEO for 12 months for $12?

And I have no responsibilities, and I get a better LinkedIn?

Count me in!


You don't have enough flair!


Board offsite will be at the Fyre Festival.


too bad i can't clap, because i refuse to create an account "while i'm here". but, absolutely excellent!
