I really don't enjoy trip planning. Is there someone I can hire or service to: 1) find the best flights, using cash or points 2) recommend family-friendly neighborhoods and provide hotel and Airbnb options 3) plan unique experiences
My last YouTube video has a high CTR % and engagement. But I was too lazy to upload a thumbnail 😂 and there is no hook. Zig when others Zag.
If I were starting a tech startup today, and I wanted to build a tech unicorn, I would focus on: - Network Effects (multiple), or - Hardtech/Deeptech, or - Combination of both There's ample data indicating that network effects account for 70% of tech value creation. Without…
Google inventions to kill startups: 1. OKRs 2. PMs 3. Weekly 1-1s
Based on the comments on my last few xweets, it's mind-boggling to me that I have to say this: • If you raise money from a VC, you are signing up to play the high-stakes unicorn game • VC funds are looking for 1,000x outcomes. • VCs don't want to sit on a board for 10 years…
If I were raising money for a startup today, I would opt for the "one-and-done" round. It provides the most optionality to take different paths without opting into the VC game. • Raise $500K - $2M from angel investors and F&F. • Keep the team size to 8 or less. •…
If you raise from a VC for your startup, then you're signing up to reach $100M and ideally $1B revenue within 7-10 years. Reaching $10M is often deemed a failure. These ideas are actually great businesses, but you shouldn't raise venture capital for them. It's not a grand…
"Tarpit" Startup Ideas • Roommate matching app • VR/AR shopping • Photo sharing • X for Y (e.g. Airbnb for Y) • Recommendations based on friends • Anything related to travel planning • "Better design" (e.g. Craiglist / Linkedin, but not shitty) • Verticalized social…
When did five-year-olds in Kindergarten start taking exams? I toured a school and we couldn't walk in a classroom because the kids were in the middle of one 😳
I plan on interviewing my Mom to document her life story. I also had the idea to have someone interview me, so that I can create a book to show her impact on my life. These two artifacts would complement each other perfectly.
Has anyone interviewed their parents to create a book, podcast, or video? I'm looking to work with someone who speaks fluent Korean and English. (Side note: this is a great biz idea/product/service for second-generation immigrants)
My 3 biggest money regrets are: (1) Sending the wrong UST to Coinbase during the collapse and losing all of it. (2) Not angel investing in my friends who were starting companies (in the 2010s) (3) Trying to time the market. I have timed selling near the top. But terrible at…

Now that the 3% buyer fees are gone, a new wave of real estate platforms will use this headline on the "Why Now" slide. Some opportunities: • "EBay for real estate," where homes are listed in an auction format. Buyers can upload documents and submit an offer without an agent.…
INVEST IN FRIENDS One of my biggest regrets from the 2010s Looking back at the time when I was running Skillshare, I regret not investing in my friends’ companies. If I had invested $1K in 10 of my friends' companies, that $10K would be worth over $10M today. It’s a valuable…

A big red flag in venture investing is the "blog post founder." These are people who have read all the blog posts, so they know what to say in order to play into VC pattern-matching, but they don't actually believe what they are saying. Much more prevalent than most realize.

I was part of startups that raised billions of VC in my 20s in Silicon Valley and didn't make much money: 1. VCs tell you to dedicate your life to the business, but they take August off. 2. VCs tell you that you need to go big or go home, but their business is a collection of…
