Most startups are shooting themselves in the foot by not closing the customer feedback loop. You can't just gather data and ignore it. Act on what you hear or you're wasting everyone's time.
If you're not networking, you're probably doing it wrong. That's how you stay connected to your customers. Don't get so caught up in the grind that you forget who you're serving. Also, founders love helping founders — myself included.
How you discover and solve real problems for your customers: Talk to them and listen closely. Engagement, relationships, and perseverance are the basic motions of entrepreneurial success. Sorry to say, but spamming a janky landing page usually does not prove anything.
Founders: deeply understand your customers' needs, deliver value that improves their lives, and communicate it. That's your real job. That's it. Most startups fail to prioritize empathy and lose sight of the people they serve. Don't make that mistake.
There are so many things I want to build. That I feel uniquely advantaged to deliver on. But I already know that’s a trap. As an ex-VC, I’ve seen it play out in the data. As a 3X founder with two exits, I already know this mostly comes down to emotional regulation. Almost…
yesterday, @Suhail asked me why I'm a data engineer, and what makes me optimistic about the field. tl;dr to my answer: every company is a data company. whether you're training LLMs, sending rockets to space, making humanoid robots, running a bank, use the blockchain, or write…
Anyone else excited whenever their follower count drops? It feels like getting your face scrubbed, your hair cut, or washing the grime off in a far-too-hot shower.
It took me less than two weeks of posting content to land in the copy-writer’s corner of LinkedIn. These social media algorithms are so much more powerful than we give them credit for
I just implemented a web scraper that runs out of Jupyter NBs using Copilot & ChatGPT in <5min. Two years ago, it was easier and cheaper to pay for an app. A few years before that, it made more sense to spend a week researching & building it out myself. The progress is 🤯
The bar is so low. The bar is so low. The bar is so extremely low Go make something, anything, better. (If it seems too hard, _your_ bar is too high)
Posting content on LinkedIn feels like burning down the ships. The sort of ship that I don't even want to get on.
The way Nigerian twitter is blowing up at this makes me think a lot of ChatGPTisms are just colloquial language for the workforce they hired to write fine tuning data.

there’s no post abundance future imo that doesn’t involve radically transforming the mind & reward pathways
Life becomes easy when you’re actively living for others. Thank you to the love of my life 🙏🏻

GO DIRECT: THE MANIFESTO I. TRADITIONAL PR IS DEAD. For too long, founders have yielded control over their narratives to media and middlemen. Before the internet, it was by necessity. The way to reach large audiences was through the media, and the way to get media coverage was…
The best startups are jihads
the only way to be happy with your work is to raise your skill to the level of your taste
Wait so coding agents were possible this whole time and we just needed IOI level prompt engineering??

Entrepreneurs when they go back to a job.
Founders: deeply understand your customers' needs, deliver value that improves their lives, and communicate it. That's your real job. That's it. Most startups fail to prioritize empathy and lose sight of the people they serve. Don't make that mistake.
One of the main takeaways I realized is that... Both the Humane and the Rabbit feels like they wrote software in service of some kind of hardware spec. Whereas Limitless very much feels like hardware in service of software.
How does one find customers in a crowded market. I would say by building a personal brand. What else?
@davidcoffeeboy Do both. The ad option just gives you more control. However for it to work there should be a funnel you have in mind that can allow you to recoup the investment. Otherwise it's not ads, it is a generous donation to Meta and Reddit.
