No sense investing heavily in brand before Product/Market Fit. FIRST you have to make something people want. THEN you can build attention, awareness, and affinity for that thing. (Before PMF, you don’t even know what you brand should be!)
rookie career mistake: expecting the person paying your salary to behave like you are paying theirs. 20 years ago it was us millenials, now its genz.
When the “exit” comes The money rarely buys happiness When the IPO comes, it’s great, but It’s back to work the next day The happiness you are looking for, Find it on the journey, too
Just saw some videos of the 1992 world cup. How I wish Australia would bring back the big boundaries. No need to put a rope.
I regret not taking meditation seriously sooner. I think the problem is its branding. It’s not a way to increase focus, it’s not about “changing your brain,” it’s not about what successful people do it… All you need to know is that it’s the oldest, most widely replicated,…
The story of being quickly dismissed by famous investors never gets old for founders. Even a decade later after great success, that founder will recount the story because it’s the moment they had to protect their optimism and have some courage to keep going.
@gokulr This is only a VC thing. In practice competition doesn't really matter nearly as much as VCs think. DoorDash is a great example: technically late to the game, VC-funded competitors (Grubhub, Caviar), close enough to be the core product of large companies (Amazon, Uber), etc
Influencers and media outlets are generating a lot of panic about how “de dollarization is accelerating”. Is the US dollar at risk? Are they right?🧵👇
As you look to join a startup today, one tip is to join one that has the highest density of ex-founders working there 🎯 I was lucky to join @Opendoor when there were ~20 founders at the company Here's the Opendoor mafia, now working on some truly extraordinary ideas 👇
I’m just back from India and what I saw there was a bullish nation, brimming with excitement. It has some hurdles to clear, but I lay out a path for it to truly become an incredible India. My take:

Every business has a core function. Some businesses make athletic shoes while others make wide screen televisions. What’s become clear over the past week is that many people don’t understand what Banks actually do. A simplified explanation if you're interested:🧵👇
Some days I feel like a failure and I don't know what I'm doing. Today is one such day. Maybe everyone feels that way sometimes. I just want to say that I'm with you. ❤️
Advice to entrepreneurs: don't look at rural areas as markets first but as production and value addition centers. We have to create value, increase incomes, only then can we sell into the market. If your business plan is to sell stuff to farmers, think what you can buy instead!

My top hiring tip in 2024: Do not hire anyone where the first bullet on their last job experience starts with or includes the word "strategy"
Don’t worry about who raised what, by who, having only started since how long? Just build your company. This happens every cycle.
AI agents have the ability to fundamentally change the business model of enterprise software. Today, when you build a SaaS product, the primary business model is to sell seats that are tied to the end-users of your service. For "same store" sales, you can essentially grow at the…
One constraint of SaaS is that revenue growth is mostly tied to your customer’s headcount growth. The AI Agent business model is unconstrained by headcount, and instead driven by the productivity of the agent. This has major positive economic implications to software.
And this is after Sheetz had to struggle for years with a challenging brand name!
The Biden administration is suing Sheetz for discriminating against minorities. The reason? The company requires all the applicants to first pass a criminal record background check. You are now required to hire criminals.
Just heard politician say "If you can get 300 members of Congress to agree on anything, that's a good thing." I guarantee it involves spending more, so by definition it's actually NOT A GOOD THING. #STOPSPENDING
No sense investing heavily in brand before Product/Market Fit. FIRST you have to make something people want. THEN you can build attention, awareness, and affinity for that thing. (Before PMF, you don’t even know what you brand should be!)
You can scale infinitely as a CEO or VP if you are relentless in recruiting people truly better than you to work for you
At scale, all B2B products converge. It’s reports, alerts, workflow, permissions and approvals all the way down.
In B2B “build something people want” often turns into “build all the custom reports that Jerry on the finance team at {customer} thinks he wants”
At my first startup, it took us 15 months and multiple pivots to find our PMF and ship a good v1 product. If we hadn't pivoted, we would have died. 3 mistakes we made 👇 1) Being too far ahead of the customer's current problems. Our assumption: Everyone would be moving to…
probably the stupidest thing you can do in AI is bet against the models getting better yet as Sam points out so many startups are doing this.. why?
One of the most common concerns about AI is the risk that it takes a meaningful portion of jobs that humans currently do, leading to major economic dislocation. Often these headlines come out of economic studies that look at various job functions and estimate the impact that AI…
a video shared by the physicist Prof Ed Witten Prof V. Balakrishnan at IIT Madras explaining Why is Quantum Mechanics So Confusing? [I am in awe of how he traverses, sentence after sentences, idea after idea - without a pause but also unhurriedly. What a great teacher.🙏]
I really don't get hustlebros. I can hardly imagine a better life at 27.
The saddest archetype I observe is the comfortably numb 27-year-old guy with a “stable” job making around $150k per year. He probably wears a no-date submariner and lives in a respectable apartment. He looks forward to his 7 pm Chipotle burrito accompanied by the new show he’s…
@SpencerGuard @joerogan if you have to tell people you are one of the world's leading expert on something, chances are you are not.
This is awesome.
