Today, we’re launching @TownAI: the AI assistant that learns you. We’re coming out of beta with a $55M Series A led by @ARampell at @a16z, with participation from @KirstenGreen at @forerunnervc and continued support from @firstround, @altcap, and @conviction. Right now, getting real value from AI means prompting, configuring, building workflows, managing agents. We think that’s backwards. The future of AI is a companion that already knows you and how you work. Town connects across your inbox, calendar, Slack, docs, messages, and workflows to understand what you need, then starts doing the work with you. Drafting. Scheduling. Project tracking. Follow-ups. Context gathering. Multi-step tasks. And it only acts when you say so. All adapting to your voice, priorities, routines, and relationships over time. Your Townie is the AI assistant you actually need.
talked to a YC company that scaled from $0 → $2m ARR in their first 6 months with their ENTIRE GTM built off going to conferences. Here's the playbook they cracked (step by step): ~4 weeks before: > Post abt the conference and tell attendees exactly how to reach you > Send personal DMs to the right ppl on LinkedIn and X > Reply within the hour & lock in 10 top targets to close. > Send everyone else to your drip email campaign. Then, set a meeting block of 1-3 days during the conference: > make shared booking link for the team > Reserve a quiet café / private dining room > Pack in 12 meetings per day, 30 min each, with buffer time built in While you're there: >Hand every prospect a thoughtful small gift and a personal card >Single out 5 standout customers whose pain ur product actually solves >Pull them aside for a casual on-camera Q&A in a solid film spot >Don't pitch hard. >Let the conversation breathe and weave your product in naturally. The 4 weeks after >Hand the raw footage to a freelance editor + ask for ~15-20 punchy clips with captions. >Drop a new clip every couple of days on LI / X > use these clips when you post online about the next conference to keep the momentum This is the formula, costs less than a few thousand dollars to execute. They’re on track to end the Y1 at ~$6m ARR (B2B, targeting large enterprises) + STILL not using any other channels for customer acquisition
@yacineMTB you can outsource your thinking but you cannot outsource fuck it we ball
Founders regularly ask me: how do we make the most of this event we’re sponsoring? The thread below is your guide.
1/ Sponsoring events can have a huge impact on customer acquisition and brand. Most companies do it wrong, though. Here’s how to have the biggest impact sponsoring an event without breaking the bank:
Demand for recruiters is surging The number of open recruiter roles is almost back to 2022 peak levels. This role got hit the hardest post-Covid, and also recovered the quickest. By definition, recruiting headcount expands and contracts with hiring demand, so it’s likely a leading indication that we’re tracking toward sustained highs in hiring demand in tech.
STATE OF THE PRODUCT JOB MARKET IN EARLY 2026 In spite of the headlines about layoffs and AI taking jobs, we’re actually seeing a lot of promising signs in tech hiring, and some interesting new trends: 1. PM openings are at the highest levels we’ve seen in over three years 2. AI

@ishangpta @sequoia @ycombinator This is a big deal for the future of recruiting and hiring!
Box CEO @levie's defense of software over vibe-coded, n-of-1 internal tools: "If you're Ford, and you're doing your supply chain on an ERP system, you want that to work the exact same way every single time." "The billions of transactions going through that ERP system, you cannot take for granted. So the idea that you're going to go vibe-code that is not possible, or at least not likely." "The other point is: your company has a fixed amount of IT resources. And you have to decide what you're going to spend your time on as an organization." "Do you want to spend time on rebuilding something that the market can supply you, that's seen best practices thousands of times? Or do you want to go and build that out with your n-of-1 experience?" "Or do you want to spend your limited, scarce resources on building software, and building experiences, that will make you more money, and that will actually be used by your customers?" "I think on the margin the average enterprise is going to spend their time and energy on the latter." "I'm 100% bullish on vibe-coding, 100% bullish that we're going to have 100x more software. But that still doesn't cross the threshold where I would want to go build our own CRM system."
@pmillegan @Shopify @pmillegan Kudos to the team behind this!
