Compdesk – the financial wellness platform for tech employees
Hi there HN! We're the co-founders of compdesk, a platform to optimize financial wellness for tech employees. As former startup employees we know firsthand that equity compensation can be life-changing, but is complicated to manage. We've created a product that allows users to understand the costs and tax implications of intelligently managing their equity compensation. We've also partnered with top CPAs and tax lawyers allowing users to meet with a personal advisor and create a customized wellness plan to manage equity, tax documentation, submit taxes at year end, and plan for retirement…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi there HN! We're the co-founders of compdesk, a platform to optimize financial wellness for tech employees. As former startup employees we know firsthand that equity compensation can be life-changing, but is complicated to manage. We've created a product that allows users to understand the costs and tax implications of intelligently managing their equity compensation. We've also partnered with top CPAs and tax lawyers allowing users to meet with a personal advisor and create a customized wellness plan to manage equity, tax documentation, submit taxes at year end, and plan for retirement through tax advantages. What are tax advantages? Many employees utilize their 401k, but are unaware of additional options like Roth IRAs, backdoor IRAs, and HSAs. The average employee is able to save $1,200,000 throughout their career in tax savings by utilizing tax-advantaged accounts when compared to investing the same money directly in the S&P 500. Avoiding a compounding income tax has substantial benefits long term. Our platform provides optimized recommendations from your advisor and allows you to create retirement accounts and automate retirement contributions in tax-advantaged accounts tailored specifically to your financial goals. You can also track your investment progress and tax savings in real-time, all within your account. Our tools are free to use, and our algorithm connects you to a personal advisor upon account creation. We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, and you can check us out at https://www.compdesk.com to get started. Cheers -- Landon and Khalil

- OLOur little bootstrapped startup is powering CNN's ticker for NYE2014 · ▲154
Our little startup you've never heard of, called Vidpresso, is powering CNN's New Year's Eve social media ticker! It's a huge accomplishment for us. We're originally Utah based (our other employees are in NM and Karachi though) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bc3GdRrCUAAqLaN.jpg:large I'm posting this more out of sheer excitement than anything. I wanted to share that any startup anywhere can have exciting wins like this... regardless of whether you're in SV, went to MIT, or whatever. Just make something people want, and it'll work out. In 2014, start the thing you've been…
- HSHiDimensional – senior engineers recommend candidates to startups2017 · ▲29
Hi HN! We’re excited to share with you the public beta launch of our startup, HiDimensional (www.hidimensional.com). We are a platform consisting of senior engineering leaders who interview candidates and provide recommendations of the best candidates and their strengths. We then use the recommendations to refer these candidates to founders of startups that match their strengths and interests. The recommendation serves as a personal referral from the interviewer, so for candidates, it amplifies their application and fast-tracks them through the process. And for companies, they are receiving…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
