To do this: -Instead of creating specialist silos, we hire versatile generalists who can solve problems across domains. -Traditional companies separate "thinkers" from "doers." Rather than hiring pure managers, we find player-coaches who both lead and execute. Why this matters

Most people tend to compete with each other on intelligence, but the true alpha in the world lies in who can (1) withstand more pain (2) ignore more ridicule (3) survive more failures without losing any of their energy, enthusiasm, and passion.
I did not make a single $ from 20VC for three years. 4 shows per week for 3 years and not $1. For the first 150 episodes, I did not get more than 1,000 plays per episode. This is a game of who can survive the longest. Do not quit.
From the archive: The median enterprise AI startup now hits ~$2M ARR in 12 months or less. This is a 2x increase from pre-AI.
Rayban Meta Displays are fulfilling the original promise of Google Glass Society wasn't ready for Glass tbh... now phones are out recording stuff all the time, Meta has done a better job of it, they look normal. $800, can do prescriptions too. Out Sept 30. I will buy them.

early stage founders who don't create content, hire people who create content, or consume content in the space they are building will get destroyed by competitors who do. content isn't just marketing, it's a core mechanism for hiring/fundraising/gtm we teach this at @speedrun
In the AI era, consumer startups are on a new trajectory. The best B2C companies are exceeding 100% net revenue retention - which was previously only possible in B2B. At @a16z, we call this "The Great Expansion." How companies achieve it👇
there is a lot of MONEY in this add `/.json` at the end of any Reddit link > and get the entire thread > including all replies to the n-th depth > and all the metadata > as JSON and then use LLMs to extract/analyze/etc you can make so much $$$ from niche subreddits
The best startups have always worked late into the night and on weekends. They just don’t talk about it nonstop publically. It’s hard to see all the 996-maxing as anything other than performative. Doth protest too much.
There are simply too many former bankers and MBAs in venture capital from the ZIRP era Many have literally zero company building experience, technical chops or founder empathy A couple are decent humans but still just razer thin wrappers on excel sheets and SF poker nights
it's fascinating to see how much openai’s starting to feel like facebook 2.0... not just in personnel but also in philosophy. buying statsig is a full embrace of facebook’s internal product ideology which was roughly dashboards over instinct, a/b testing as gospel, & growth loops…
this is exactly how i’d build wealth with a vertical ai agent startup (without raising VC $$) step 1: find a boring pain point. something universal, hated, and expensive. think customs paperwork, insurance audits, compliance checklists. the less glamorous, the better. step 2:…
Apollo neck and neck w Waymo. Key difference: car is “way” cheaper. Like $30k vs $175k. Big diff. ROW will be the battleground.

the reason why people abandon so many “almost done” things is because the last 20% of anything is friction, detail, & accountability. that last 20% of the work doesn’t feel like 20% at all, it feels like the whole damn thing & then some. this is especially true in an ai era…
was talking to my friend about how to know yourself well. where do you tilt the odds in your favor is such an important thing to discover & it’s probably the most important part of self introspection. a great tennis player knows their surface (clay, grass etc.). a great baseball…
Live a disciplined life, spontaneously.
AI doesn’t do it end-to-end. It does it middle-to-middle. The new bottlenecks are prompting and verifying.
