The New York Times profiled a start-up with 28 employees serving nearly 50 million users. That company is us. The traditional startup playbook: raise massive funding, hire hundreds of employees, and worry about profitability "later." But there's another way. Everyone at Gamma could fit in a small restaurant. We're not just surviving—we've been profitable for 15+ consecutive months, with revenue growing month over month, and lifetime negative net burn (we have more money in the bank than we've raised). This isn't an accident. We've deliberately designed our organization to maximize impact per person. Instead of creating specialist silos, we hire versatile generalists who can solve problems across domains. Rather than building management hierarchies, we find player-coaches who both lead and execute. Our team leverages AI tools throughout our workflow - Claude for data analysis, Cursor for coding efficiency, NotebookLM for customer research synthesis. These aren't just productivity hacks; they're force multipliers. Examples: — When our growth PM needed better analytics, he didn't file a ticket with a data team—he built a self-serve system that anyone can use without SQL knowledge. — When our marketing lead needed to understand our customers better, she fed thousands of interactions into an LLM and created actionable personas that now guide our entire strategy. — When our design team needs to test a hypothesis, we create a rapid prototype and show it to our power users. What we're seeing isn't just about "doing more with less." It's about fundamentally changing what's possible per person. The most valuable employees aren't specialists who excel in narrow domains - they're resourceful problem-solvers who continuously expand their capabilities. This approach creates remarkable resilience. Since everyone understands multiple functions, we don't have single points of failure when someone leaves or moves to another project. If you're building today, the question isn't how quickly you can scale headcount … it's how much impact you can create with the smallest possible team. The future belongs to tiny teams of extraordinary people.

My daughter got accepted to 11 of the 16 universities she applied to. She was failing the 7th grade when I was checked out in my addiction. Now she's a 4.0 student. Recovery from addiction isn't just for me. It's for the entire family. #recovery

Always great speaking with you @lennysan — had a lot of fun looking back on my most important lessons from building Dropbox over the last 18 years (!) No one teaches you how to be a founder/CEO, but I've found there's a lot you can do to compete with the giants, stay ahead of the learning curve, and sustain yourself for the long haul.

this is a long read, but i had some time to think over dinner and wanted to share a few thoughts and provide a plan forward: 0. i’ve had a lot of very memorable days on the internet over the past 30 years, but this one tops them all. my wife yi and i are unbelievably grateful to the SOL community. as a reminder - 100% of every penny we've made from this, across every kitkat/memecoin, including LP fees will be going directly to rare disease research (minus any tax obligations). i will work on a way to verify this commitment transparently with the community in the form of donation receipts. thankfully the chain is already publicly auditable. 1. a lot people seem very upset that early traders made a lot of money off of $MIRA. i don't get this at all. they made a good investment early, and got rewarded for it. good on them. when we originally started our gofundme, we were hoping to contribute maybe $2-300K or so beyond what we donated early this year to hankinson lab for christmas. now, even if we don't sell a single token more, we're going to send them at least $1M this christmas. that's INCREDIBLE - and it makes such a huge difference. the reality is if those early people didn't make these moves, the lab would be worse off. providing more funding for research is the only thing that matters to me here, full stop. how much degens make or lose money in the pvp trenches of pump is not something that is any of my business. if you made a lot of money, i'm genuinely happy for you - but please consider donating some of your profits to hankinson lab., if you lost a lot of money, i’m very sorry - but magic internet money is magic internet money. 2. at least a few crazies in mentions think that i was somehow on the “inside” and this entire thing has been some kind of conspiracy - if you're one of them, i just don’t know what to tell you. i have a day job and it is not degening magic internet money. i run a company funded by a16z called runway.com, and we work on non-crypto finance software for cfos. nowdays, by night i do deep research into craniopharyngiomas and related brain tumors. i literally didn’t have a personal SOL address until yesterday. crypto wasn’t even a payment option outside of gofundme until folks asked me for one, and when i gave them one it was my ENS. the idea that i would have the time and even know how to do something like this is wildly unbelievable. 3. i am not elon - between running a growing startup, dealing with my daughter’s medical condition, and other obligations, i simply don’t have the bandwidth to manage a crypto anything. so my constraints on a path forward are: 1) to maximize support to rare disease research by providing predictability / trust 2) to do so in the most transparent way possible that helps me sleep well at night 3) to do it in a way that doesn’t take very much of my time to manage. so here’s the plan: starting in about 12 hours, i will be liquidating $1,000 worth of $MIRA every 10 minutes, perpetually. no more and no less than that. if i change this schedule, i commit to announcing it 24 hours in advance. if you want to rug it to $0, go for it - at the end of the day we set out to raise $200K and we will end up with at least $1M towards rare disease research. no matter what, this has been a win for the world. but if it moons, then hankinson lab will get the SOL’s community support for much longer, and that really makes a big difference. so that’s it! hope that's all pretty simple and reasonable. yi, mira and i are so unbelievably grateful to you all - each and every one of you. christmas magic was made real this year thanks to all of you. forever grateful.

if you could press a button that cures your child’s brain tumor in exchange for ending your life immediately, every parent would hesitate for zero seconds before fighting to be the first to press it the cruelest thing is that no such button exists. but there is always a move 👇
