Would very much be in Nvidia's best interest for as many of the Neolab spinouts to succeed as possible
What should you build ? What should you buy? A few weeks ago I shared some thoughts on what things are worth vibe coding and what things you should just buy off the shelf. I break it all down here:...
I've been serious about personal development and getting better at business for 15+ years. But not just reading and thinking about business... I've put the concepts to work. I sold my first business for 7 figures and built...
Established businesses optimize forecasts and margins. Early ventures face a more fundamental question: are customers achieving meaningful value? What matters is measurable impact that customers are willing to speak about publicly. When target accounts achieve real outcomes, referenceability follows. That...
A strange milkshake machine order changed Ray Kroc’s life—and helped build McDonald’s. The story reveals timeless Ray Kroc lessons about risk, persistence, and opportunity. Read the story 👇 🔗 michaelwmchugh.com/ray-kroc-lessons
You’re talking with customers. Of course they tell you different things. Is that a sign of over-abundance of opportunity? Or a sign that the idea is unclear, unfocused, unvalidated? Here’s how I evaluate it: https://t.co/0urIu6dbG4
The people building alone right now look crazy to everyone around them. But they're learning how to do everything themselves, and that compounds. In a few years, they'll build whatever they want, whenever they want, and keep nearly 100% of...
Theanna founder just posted her investor went from $100k to $1M investment and I am actually crying I’m so happy for her. WOMEN BUILDING TECH AND FUCKING DEFYING THE ODDS
Christian (Chris) Bach (co-founder of Netlify , $2B+ valuation) joined me on the podcast and broke down something I wish more founders did early: To become the obvious choice in your space, stop obsessing over your solution. Instead, start obsessing...
Sticking with the science. I find that really impressive. BioNTech founders Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci are leaving the biotech they founded to start a new one. Maybe by the time they have something for the clinic, the FDA will...
One of my students made $74K last year and burned out. This year, he’ll clear that by the end of Q1. How? He‘s not working harder. He’s directing three projects right now where he’s not doing the work. He came to me a...
I didn’t set out to build a business management agency. I set out to build freedom. By 29 I’d hit the glass ceiling in corporate. On paper, I was flying. Youngest operational manager across the UK, Europe and Australasia, big budgets,...
Most founders fail because they avoid hard things. Sara Blakely faced rejection for Spanx and kept pitching until one yes changed her life. Melanie Perkins heard no from 100+ investors before Canva took off. Each no built skill, grit, and belief. What hard thing...
haha the @runwayml real-time characters is great. i just spent 2 minutes pitching a ghibli version of myself a bladeless blender startup it's only a 2 min demo, but the questions and tone are pretty solid. one question even threw me...
It takes about 20 seconds of convo to gauge if the passion is there in a founder who has an early stage product. The passion / curiosity about the problem space is what you need to grind through the early...
As a B2B SaaS this terrifies me: I have basically stopped clicking on google results. The AI summary is good enough, and for other things I just ask ChatGPT. My business relies on SEO, so my own actions are filling me...
It's been a long time since @yojimmykim and I have launched anything new. 50 people grabbed the eCom Retention Vault in the first few hours. Didn't expect that. https://t.co/Nvu2sCggkD Thank you 🙏
Founders: assume that your deck is getting passed around, and that it will make its way to your direct competitors. Don't say things about your competitors that might you regret later (in your competitive advantage slide). In fact, I wouldn't...
Empty calories. All Cluely stood for was being hyped and hot. When things got tough, the team jumped ship because they recruited people only interested in being part of a hyped and hot startup. When it was no longer was, they...
$10 trillion in small business value is set to change hands as Boomers retire soon. And with AI disrupting traditional pathways, this may be a golden age for young talent to become SMB owners. Check out what Will is building for the next generation...
btw if you can build a category leader open source project in ai engineering right now the market acquihire rate is ~$10-$100m per ai engineer. you do not need to figure out a business model, you do not need GTM, you...
AI Superpowers the Solo Founder—But Corporations Stay Stuck AI is massively empowering individuals who know how to use it—especially builders, perfectionists, and technical solopreneurs who can now ship products faster than ever. But inside large corporations, the bottleneck isn’t productivity—it’s bureaucracy,...
Most startups still fail, despite all the advice, insightful ideas, and crazy hard work. Here is a risk-oriented theory of “why,” and how to improve your chances of success: https://t.co/xKPhWzGrMK
This SaaS company posted a $60k job listing… for an AI agent. Here’s why this shift is bigger than most founders realize👇
Wondering if the pace of AI progress changes how early-stage startups should think about early ICP. If your early customers are a bit further right on the adoption curve, you might end up building something that looks outdated in 1-2...
Why is Senja's revenue growth stalling? I've shipped my own MCP server for @ChartMogul and connected it to Claude Code to find out Cannot wait to start acting on this data https://t.co/hsq519MDck
You don’t scale capital with hustle. You scale it with systems. Systems reduce friction at every step. Reduced friction lowers hesitation. Lower hesitation accelerates commitments. Over time, that compound effect is enormous. 🔗 Tribevest #structureisstrategy #capitalraising #raisingcapital #fundoffunds
Haladir (@Haladirofficial) is building operational superintelligence. Today's models fail under real-world constraints. Haladir combines formal solvers with LLMs to turn unreliable outputs into verifiable, optimal decisions, from post-training to deployment. Congrats on the launch, @jibranhutch, @josephtso914, @quanmhuynh, and @preston281s! https://t.co/4r1pSUrXdq
Great slide from a deck on how to name your company. But I think it applies to almost anything creative. https://t.co/naLk1q4cUe
New agent technology dropping at a consistent pace… Notion, Google and Microsoft all dropped respectable agents in the same week. I’m going to stay in the minority of users and focus on making the cross-platform, open source project @openclaw work OC...
He planned to go full-time in 2020. COVID happened. He kept his job. Didn't quit until $500K ARR. "I've got family that relies on this." Joel Griffith bootstrapped Browserless to nearly $4M ARR with under 10 people. https://t.co/eAgxCVuXB4
Max Hodak (@maxhodak_) is the co-founder of Neuralink and founder of @ScienceCorp_, a company building brain-computer interfaces that can restore sight. Science has developed a tiny retinal implant that stimulates cells in the eye to help blind patients see again. More...
Evaluate all your funding options carefully. 👀 Venture capital isn't the only path to success. Many successful businesses have thrived by bootstrapping and maintaining control over their vision and operations. And this is coming from a VC!
“The guy will position himself anywhere there’s money to be made” That's literally what a successful startup should be doing
When an established company launches a new venture, it typically applies the same metrics it uses for its core business. Revenue targets, forecast accuracy, and broad sales coverage. Those metrics work well in mature markets. In an emerging category, they...
Most businesses fail before they ever launch. Not because people lack motivation. Not because they lack talent. They fail because they skip the architecture. You wouldn’t build a house without: • clearing the land • creating a blueprint • laying a foundation Yet people launch businesses every day...
All these smartasses think it’s vibe coding I made Posterous (one of the biggest Rails sites in the world at the time) and Bookface (a social network used by half of YC alums daily) If you can fly, you fly to...
When a startup fails… Typically 10-20 things were very broken. Which one(s) “caused" the failure? In successes, 10-20 things are 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 broken, but it didn't matter. So, what do we learn from the 10-20 things? Anything?
You built your agency on being the best designer in the room. But the thing that got you here is the thing that’s keeping you stuck. Now, somewhere between $200K and $500K, the thing you built your identity around—being the person...
Starting a b2b SaaS company today is like starting a consumer social company in 2012
I know founders making $5M/year who haven't taken a real vacation in 5 years. I know founders making $500k/year who work from a different country every month. High revenue is one score. Quality of life is the real one. Build...
Your competitors hide your growth plan in their reviews. Study their 1-star feedback on Google, Amazon, and social media to spot gaps in service, pricing, and delivery. Survey their lost customers and ask why they chose or rejected them. You’ll see clear...
Starting a software company has never been easier, with new competitors emerging that could challenge giants like Microsoft and SAP. What you know today will be obsolete in a few years, so keeping your options open is key. #TechInnovation #StartupLife...
Most investors are looking for deal flow if you are looking for investment and are having a hard time chance are you haven’t proved your buisness yet
Honest confession — I tried Profit First when I first started my business because everyone swore by it. Five accounts, constantly moving money around, paying bank fees I didn't need to be paying. It genuinely stressed me out more than it...
Great PMs are the user’s lawyer in the room. You’ll constantly be asked to ship things that help the business but hurt usability. Your job is to say: “Show me the user impact,” and demand real validation before you trade...
Being extremely reliable is a trait that others notice even if they don’t say so out loud. Highly prized, both because it is rare and because it is valuable. It’s something founders rarely are, but hiring people like that can help make...
Waiting for a VC firm to recognize your potential is the slowest path into venture. Build a thesis. Source a deal. Write publicly. Show up before you have the title. The door opens from the inside.
MVMT went from $1M to $60M in revenue in just 2 years using DTC and influencer marketing. No retail stores. Got acquired by Movado for $300M. Meanwhile you're still chasing wholesale deals. That's the gap.
Founders: Build your narrative validation matrix: Prospect says: You need: 'Interesting' → Market data 'Proven?' → Case studies 'ROI?' → Calculator 'Why you?' → Comparisons 'Why now?' ...
