1/ Applications are now open for Powerset Cohort 3, where top founders get their own $1M+ fund for angel investing. Like past cohorts, investment experience is not required, and founders have no administrative obligations.
After an intense decade of scaling Thumbtack to $1 billion+, I realized I wanted to taste complete freedom. So I shed it all: my operating role, apartment, possessions. Everything I owned would fit in carry-on luggage. Here's how it changed my life🧵
When we first started Thumbtack in 2009, we had no customers, no product, no money. Our first “office” was a house, and I slept in a closet By 2019, we scaled it to $1B. Here are my 5 real-talk lessons I learned building Thumbtack from 0 to $1B starting from a CLOSET! 🧵
Sam Corcos is the biggest maniac about delegation and personal tracking I've ever met. He time tracked every waking hour of his last two years while scaling his 4th startup. No CEO has ever shared this before. Here's what every founder should learn from him 🧵
In 2018, Sam Altman simultaneously managed YC(a $30B+ Startup Accelerator) , invested >$400M in startups on the side, and built the world’s best team of frontier AI researchers with Elon for Open AI. His answer to ‘How do you get so much done?’ is powerful. A thread 🧵
Stoked for my buddy @roger_lee to reveal his latest startup. Roger is a machine. In Silicon Valley there is much heralded mediocrity but occasionally you find unheralded mastery. Roger is the latter. Watch him tackle this huge opportunity and remake comp 👀 🚀

So stoked for my buds @jake_zeller and @swaaanson in launching this. Powering the next generation of deep tech founders. No better mission to focus on 🙌

Not to be dramatic, but Thumbtack is the best app to hire a pro.
