To celebrate @LaminiAI’s $25M Series A news today, I revisited @realSharonZhou and @GregoryDiamos’ original seed pitch deck from August 2022. Here’s a few observations on what I think they got right that might be helpful to other founders starting out on a similar journey: 📚…

Always love listening to Lenny’s Podcast, especially today. @tjack and @lennysan talk all about the main thing for tech startups: product-market fit and @firstround’s PMF Method framework for B2B founders. Interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=yc1Uwh…
One of my favorite @firstround launches to date. For the past few years, @tjack has led the charge in developing a new internal framework to help more founders find product-market fit. Meet PMF Method, an intensive 14-week experience designed to help exceptional founders build…
I've worn a glucose monitor off and on for a couple years to figure out what triggers spikes and how to lower them. After listening to @PeterAttiaMD's recent podcast on the microbiome, I am trying @Pendulum_Co Metabolic Daily product ($49/mo) and amazed by the impact. Below is a…
Super excited that @usnews has picked @Superhuman as the best AI-powered email client! 😄 usnews.com/360-reviews/bu… Massive kudos to the team! They worked so hard on this, and we have so much yet to come 👌
There was a secret superpower behind Looker’s epic rise — ultra-high-touch customer support. On the In Depth podcast, @drinkzima takes us behind the scenes to the early days of Looker, and how he built a customer success org that responded to customers in seconds, not minutes.
There are no words that can adequately capture the profound sadness of the past few days. Our hearts are heavy — and with the people of Israel. The terrorist attacks by Hamas this past weekend were barbaric, and the loss of innocent lives is utterly devastating. There is no…

I've known @jevering for years and his leadership advice is golden. Always brings a fresh lens, whether it's this new concept of "scaling down", or his classic on "quantum team management" (worth a re-read) Grateful he shares it on @firstround Review: review.firstround.com/how-to-scale-y…
Congrats to @EvergrowHQ for announcing its latest round, along with the news that there are over $150M worth of clean energy projects on its platform. Proud to be seed supporters in the company's mission to fight climate change with simpler tax credits. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
Midjourney v5 is going to make April 1st so fun this year 🤪
There’s plenty of advice floating around out there about building a startup as a first-time founder. What gets considerably less attention in blog posts, podcasts and viral Twitter threads are the nuances when starting your second company. Yes, you’re firstround.typeform.com/to/jpyaPTfp…
