It all started with a poster in our office that says "Fck it, ship it".People really gravitate to the poster. Take pictures with it. Tell us, "we love the sentiment!"So we decided: why not launch a shop?Strive & Seek is a side project with our own designs for builders, hackers, founders, etc.Some designs are more upbeat. Others lean into the more realistic challenges of building things: "Born to Code, Forced to Fundraise" is an example.We shouldn't pretend building stuff that works, creates value and scales is easy. We hope Strive & Seek provides a bit of encouragement, when necessary, or simply does a good job of accurately describing the week you're having.It all started with a simple "Fck it, ship it" poster. Now we'll see if anyone else enjoys the designs, messages and sentiment as much as we do.Appreciate any feedback!
