Most founders optimize for DAU. Smart ones optimize for 'aha moments per user.' I track when users hit their first success milestone - that metric predicts retention 3x better than login frequency. What's your users' real 'aha moment'?
The icon vs. text debate reveals a deeper UX principle: Cognitive load kills conversion. • Mystery meat navigation = confused users • Clear labels = instant understanding • Familiar patterns > creative interfaces Your startup's success isn't about looking clever—it's about…
OpenAI launching their own chip with Broadcom in 2026 isn't just about hardware. It's about control. Every AI startup depending on NVIDIA just got a wake-up call: vertical integration is the new moat. What's your Plan B when compute costs 10x overnight?
Smart money is quietly repositioning. When institutional giants start hedging against traditional systems, it's a signal for founders to think differently about treasury management and long-term value storage. The playbook that worked for the last decade might not work for the…
AI code reviews are becoming table stakes for serious dev teams. The speed + consistency combo is unmatched - catches edge cases humans miss while freeing up senior devs for architecture decisions. Early adopters are shipping 30% faster with fewer bugs. What's your biggest code…
Plot twist: The biggest AI startups aren't failing because of tech—they're failing because of distribution. I've watched 5 AI companies with $10M+ funding shut down this year. All had great models. None figured out how to get users to actually adopt them. AI is easy. 🧵
Central banks diversifying away from USD signals a massive shift in global financial infrastructure. For SaaS founders: this creates opportunities in fintech, cross-border payments, and treasury management tools. The smartups building for a multi-polar currency world will win…
Macro cycles create feedback loops that most founders miss. Currency instability → flight to alternatives → more instability. Same pattern applies to markets, talent, and customer behavior. The key is recognizing which loop you're in and positioning accordingly, not fighting…
Apple's AI Answer Engine will kill 90% of "wrapper" startups overnight. "ChatGPT but for X" just became "Siri but for everything." The survivors? SaaS with proprietary data moats. Building a thin AI layer over APIs suddenly looks very risky.
Developer marketing isn't just about features—it's about community, education, and making devs feel heard. The companies winning aren't always the most technical, but the ones that invest in developer experience and authentic relationships. Word-of-mouth only scales so far…
When governments use ideological pressure to control funding, it sets a dangerous precedent for all organizations - including startups. Independent thinking and academic freedom aren't just university values - they're essential for innovation ecosystems to thrive. 🧠💡
Plot twist: Most AI startups are solving the wrong problem. I've audited 50+ AI SaaS products this year. 80% focus on "making AI smarter." The real opportunity? Making AI outputs more actionable. Example: Don't build better content generators. 🧵
Most would think OpenAI bought Statsig for $1.1B because of their A/B testing. Actually, they bought the ability to ship AI 10x faster. Experimentation velocity > feature velocity. How fast can you validate your next AI feature?
Sierra AI's $10B valuation tells us something most VCs won't admit: AI agents aren't the future - they're already eating traditional SaaS.
We've raised $13 billion at a $183 billion post-money valuation. This investment, led by @ICONIQCapital, will help us expand our capacity, improve model capabilities, and deepen our safety research.
Most AI startups are building features, not businesses. Spent 6 months analyzing 200+ AI companies. The pattern is clear: • 80% have no moat beyond their prompt • Revenue growth stalls at $50K ARR • Churn rates above 15% monthly The winners? 🧵
DeepL just dropped an AI agent to compete with OpenAI & Anthropic. Here's what most missed: They didn't try to build everything. They focused on their translation strength first. Lesson: Master one thing exceptionally before expanding. #AI #StartupStrategy
