You might feel silly comparing a startup to a zoo. We get it. Zoos are well-organized businesses that have to make money to survive. They\u2019re nothing like startups.<\/p>\n

But we wondered what it might look like if a startup were<\/em> a zoo\u2026<\/p>\n

This is yet another infographic by the Toggl Track team \u2013 the people behind the\u00a0world\u2019s no. 1-time tracking app<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We do\u00a0these comics to give you a mental break from your epic daily adventures \u2013 like creating an amazing product or trying to find yourself a good gorilla. Just be careful, it\u2019s a jungle (or zoo) out there.<\/p>\n

Neato! What else have you guys done?<\/h1>\n

Well if you work for a startup, there\u2019s a good chance we\u2019ve explained your job with a lightbulb.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a developer,\u00a0boy do we have some great comics for you. We did this awesome comic about using different programming languages to\u00a0rescue the princess from the dragon<\/a> as well as this comic that theorized what might happen if\u00a0programmers created the earth<\/a>\u00a0(spoiler alert: it\u2019s not great).<\/p>\n

You might also enjoy\u00a0The Unicorn Startup Simulator<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 a highly realistic, deeply immoral\u00a0game about life in the gritty startup scene of Silicon Valley. We built the entire game during a weeklong team retreat in the Scottish lowlands (highlands were not good, terrible wifi).<\/p>\n

Will you do more of these?<\/h1>\n

Probably. Being a time tracking app, we\u2019re pretty passionate about the\u00a0software development\u00a0industry and the challenges of working in that field.<\/p>\n

If you have any cool ideas that we could put into a comic, do let us know in the comments below and we promise to add you as an easter egg when it comes out.<\/p>\n

Until then \u2013 keep on trackin\u2019!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
