Most people start businesses to make money. The real upside is agency. Realizing that you are in control of your own destiny is a much more powerful drug.
The good thing about being a founder is you can usually choose which VCs you work with, or not work with any. If someone believes in you enough to deploy millions of dollars against your idea, you best do your damndest to get them a 1000x return.

“We’d be happy to lead your seed round” - not a term sheet “We’ll co-lead with that other firm” - not a term sheet “We’re in for $500k” - not a term sheet “How about 5 on 50?” - not a term sheet “We sent you a term sheet” - term sheet

Who is the best on X at product/launch videos? Asking for a friend.
X is the only platform with asymmetric upside. I’ve wasted far too much time here, yet one tweet I randomly stumbled upon 5 yrs ago led to raising $20m and meeting some amazing lifetime friends.
Never hold a grudge, but always remember.
Founders, Always remember that you're not entitled to anything. Funding, customers, team members, partners. There are thousands of other people fighting for the exact same things. Be excellent. Be grateful. Be paranoid. Don't take any success for granted.
You should probably aim to make more, bigger mistakes earlier in your career.

Advice for founders that haven’t yet hit the mark: Work hard to find market pull - don’t work hard for things to continue to be hard. Focus on the relentless pursuit of finding the thing that will grow fast, not forcing the thing that will not.

The myth that entrepreneurship is some innate quality you are born with is extremely limiting. The other side of it is the assumption that people are innately designed to work mediocre jobs for 30 years. It’s all social norms and lack of reps.
90% of people should solely focus on revenue for their first few projects. The relentless pursuit of revenue gives you clear goalposts. Otherwise it’s too easy to spend years in the wilderness “building” for no one, and not learning much. Outliers should do the opposite.
Noticeable shift in the past month that the majority of content I see online is written by AI. Fully embedded in every platform? Models converging? Natural human writing now mimicking AI? Synapses tuned to instantly detect? Less tuned writing will outperform.

Despite them aggressively bidding on our branded keywords, Shopify is the most important company in Canadian history. Companies simply don’t get to scale here without regulatory capture, govt enabled monopoly, or generational money. We need a lot more of this energy.

1/ Can AI file your taxes? Not yet. We tested the latest frontier models and the results were full of catastrophic errors. Letting AI do your taxes would mean IRS rejections, audits, and penalties:
If OpenAI can build the world’s most popular app, a browser, a trillion dollar datacenter, APIs, and a revolutionary device - you can probably think slightly bigger too.
