There’s nothing wrong with wanting more revenue. But if you’re only focused on this month, you’ll feel the pressure to start over next month. Predictable revenue comes from building assets. Courses. Memberships. Programs.
5 mistakes aspiring VCs keep making (and nobody tells them): 1. Leading with resume instead of edge 2. Thinking all VC firms are the same 3. Networking to find a job instead of to add value 4. Not translating operator experience into investment language 5....
Solopreneurs do everything themselves. Autopreneurs automate, build a high-performance team, and take vacations while their business grows on autopilot.
Entrepreneur burnout starts when you demand output every day with no pause. Patience gives you space to rest, think, and avoid rushed decisions. When you pause before reacting, you choose strategy over emotion. Track small wins, schedule breaks, treat setbacks as data. If you...
good tips for leaders and their boards, from a leader who has weathered the ups and downs and been hardened tackling super hard problems. @cerebras is an incredible company that has endured and overcome all sorts of doubts along the...
How I'd 10x leads in 4 weeks using AI, if I were starting my business from scratch.
I wonder which of these is better: having people make using your app a habit or having people relapse into using your app even after they try the competition...
A look inside @getserval's Series B, the #1 company on @harmonic_ai's Hot 25 list last quarter
Gah such a great take. I don’t invest in large SaaS plays, but on the micro end, especially for bootstrapped founders, it’s still a fantastic place to build.
A mentor once told me this: When you feel stuck, shrink the goal. One finished task. One closed loop. One workout. One hard conversation. One thing that moves you forward. Momentum is just a byproduct of movement.
The hidden cost of building attention that doesn’t convert It’s easier to add 50K followers than to fix inconsistent pipeline. That’s why so many B2B SaaS founders double down on visibility. Growth looks like traction. It feels like momentum. It...
First. Thank you. Every single message yesterday meant so much to me. We are safe, exhausted, and so grateful. We have a shelter in our apartment which makes us luckier than most. And watching videos of people dancing and singing...
Yesterday was a horrible #buildinpublic day I got rinsed by 100s of engineers for being a micromanager I was defensive and overwhelmed, and trying to explain my own preferences for how Senja should be run I know I am not perfect and am...
You DON'T need to: • Quit your job • Work 80 hours/week • Raise VC funding You DO need to: • Ship consistently • Talk to users • Build in public 6 months of focused side-project work can change everything. You'll be ahead of most builders.
Toxic culture kills small businesses. Stress, gossip, and hostility cut output by 20% and drive turnover that cost U.S. firms $223B in five years. Leaders who ignore bad behavior fuel burnout, distrust, and exits. You set the tone through direct feedback, clear roles,...
Most successful people I've met aren't that smart. They move fast, they take risk, they work a lot. That's it.
Staying too focused on one metric creates blind spots. While it’s not necessarily a “balance” -- because they’re not equally important -- there isn’t “one metric to rule them all.” https://t.co/IwJzk6iCpu
Ashr tests agents with synthetic sounds, images, texts, files, videos, and environments so they don’t fail in production. Congrats on the launch, @rohankulkz and @ShreyasKapavar1! https://t.co/szx2fXWHiT https://t.co/KvNKyz7CIB
Using AI wrong is now more dangerous than not using it at all. That should terrify you. Most early stage founders think the risk is moving too slow with AI. The real risk is moving fast in the wrong direction. Here are the...
And also, if your e-commerce business makes less than $500,000/year you truly don’t need a marketing team or an agency or a social media manager. And I truly don’t care what anybody in any of those roles have to say....
A founder DM'd me last week: "I just raised $8M. What should I do first?" Me: "Give it back." He laughed, but I wasn't joking. When you have money, you spend it. You hire 15 people in 60 days. You burn $300K on...
Solopreneurship is shallow and lonely. Build something so big, you get to bring others along with you. Not just build your bank account. Don't just be free, free others.
Are you 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 to put yourself out there? To be honest on social media, or build in public including failures? Totally fair. You don’t 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 to be public, you know. But, you could just try. Probably, no one will see anyway. And some will love...
Another engineer quit midway through a trial $9,000 a month and apparently keeping Linear updated as you go is too much Listed twice in job description Designed to facilitate remote work and fewer meetings
Mark Cuban says all good businesses are personal. If your name is not on the line, your effort drops. The only edge you control is how hard you work and how fast you learn. Love the work or quit, because someone else is...
Prediction: @AnthropicAI may have lost the US government as a client, but will gain even more collectively-lucrative government contracts outside of the US.
Claude code and Theanna launched days apart last year. Claude code hit $2.5B ARR in one year. I just hit $200k ARR today. No comparison but tons of emotions today: proud, relieved, excited, tired, stressed, ready.
I used AI to make cinematic content for my app. I also believe companies with budgets should hire real artists. Both things can be true. AI should expand what solo founders and small teams can accomplish — not eliminate the livelihoods of...
We seem close to: - Give an agent access to a competitor app on a computer - Tell agent: Rebuild this app by using all its features - Agent tries app -> documents all flows/features/edge cases - The other agent builds all flows/features - They...
ICYMI: AI Killed My SaaS Why I replaced my own software before I could even properly launch it https://t.co/nDyTkKUqem
Early positioning beats late capital every time. Amazon just invested $50 billion in OpenAI for 6 percent ownership and distribution rights. Microsoft invested $13.8 billion starting in 2019 and owns 23.5 percent with exclusive IP, revenue sharing, and API control locked through...
Profitability shouldn't always be the primary goal in the early stages. Sometimes, investing in growth, user experience, and brand reputation is more important than immediate profits. Play the long game. ✨
Atrium spins out of Avidity, aiming to target rare heart diseases with RNA https://t.co/xLp2oQDHGy $RNA $NVS #startups
Could you operate your company with half the people? Jack Dorsey’s announcement yesterday, reducing Block’s headcount from 10,000 to 6,000, should provoke this question in every management team. The stock surged 24%. Dorsey’s memo framed it as inevitable : Within...
So far I’ve built two SaaS companies, and this advice almost killed both of them: “Your TAM is too small, it’ll never be a unicorn” “Drop your tiny startup and join this rocket ship” “Build a full go-to-market platform” Every person who gave me...
The one thing that keeps me from indulging in the AI panic is the sheer reluctance of most people I've met in my life to adjust to new technology. All these wonderful things exist at the fingertips of each human...
"Most commercial banks will lend against machines & equipment... Do you know what the bank won’t finance? Goodwill… the intangible value of the fact that you’ve built up a great clientele" –12 Things to Do Before You Consider Selling Your...
A few years ago Marissa Lovell and I had an idea for a local newsletter. From Boise now has 24,000+ subscribers. On March 4th we're doing a fireside chat about how it grew, what we learned, and where local media is headed. Join...
Metrics matter. But in early-stage fundraising? Storytelling matters more. In Ep. 234 of The SaaS CFO Podcast, Helen Hastings shares why vision + narrative win investor conviction. Listen here 👇 YouTube: https://t.co/BnQYh8fzzR #SaaS #Fundraising #Startups https://t.co/zRSXoqqM2z
Seek feedback from investors who pass on your pitch. In fact, ask for feedback right there on the call (much easier than trying to get it via email later). Use it to improve your approach and strengthen your next presentation. Constructive...
End Close builds automatic reconciliation for payments companies, replacing manual ops work with AI agents that automatically investigate and resolve every exception. This team previously reconciled $1,000,000,000,000 at Modern Treasury. Congrats on the launch, @SeanBolton and @DavidNewell95! https://t.co/cHDvWS2INp
Can someone make me an analysis for the jcurve being created by LLMs and supporting companies (data centers)… which should be $250b today… Assume $250b more invested over next 4 years Then assume $10b in profits in 2031 and 50%...
ICYMI: Fresh new article dropped: The Opposite Test: "Good design" isn't strategic because "bad design" was never smart. But “all-in-one” vs “small core + ecosystem” is real because both result in beloved, successful products. If both sides work, "both" is incoherent. “Strategy” means making...
There is no speed limit. You don't need to finish school, get a degree, or do an internship before building a business. Start as soon as you're ready. https://t.co/EF2CXDCFKP
First movers fail 47% of the time. Fast followers win by learning faster, spending less, and fixing early mistakes. Google beat Yahoo. Facebook beat MySpace. Slack refined chat tools. Timing drives 42% of startup success, but execution decides who owns the market. Are you...
I replaced $26,500/month in marketing headcount with one AI platform. 37 agents. Zero full-time hires. Most agencies pay $26,500/month for SEO, content, social, competitive intel, and marketing ops. We built the AI CMO Platform. 37 agents that coordinate and execute like a full...
I’m running a 5-day intensive starting Monday for AI and SaaS founders. It’s called WARP Week. The premise: the fastest-growing companies in the AI era are getting users to value in 60 seconds or less. The ones that figured this...
the size of a public ceo’s workforce is shifting from being a flex if large to a flex if small. the next few years of refactoring will be significant (and seat-based models will shift to value-based), but I also think...
Founder life: fixing a bug while thinking about distribution while answering support while writing the newsletter
there’s actually a whole raft of tech companies where if the founders are not AI wartime you should abandon ship real fast
