@Computershare is the single worst company in the financial services world. I don't know why any startup would work with them, but it keeps happening. If you are lucky enough to take a company public, you should do everything in your power to avoid them.

Whoever builds this idea first is guaranteed a $1B exit in two years. @chadjanis just sold Gruns to Unilever for $1.2B. Here is his next top-tier idea that he's giving away for free: The problem: your paycheck hits your checking account, then you need willpower to allocate it. Put 10% in savings, pay bills, invest, whatever. Most people FAIL. The solution: become the distribution layer between direct deposit and your bank account. Before the money hits your account, it automatically splits: 20% → taxes (sitting in money market until tax season) 25% → rent/car payment/bills 15% → investments 10% → savings What hits your checking? $500 for groceries You never see the full amount. You can't fail at budgeting because there's nothing to budget. This works for businesses too. Founders want guaranteed profit extraction. VCs want forced financial discipline. Everyone buys. The infrastructure exists and the market is waiting. The first person to build this is getting acquired in 24 months. @thesamparr @ShaanVP


"Rilee Stewart and Brock Goodwin always imagined having several children... But that vision shifted once they settled into their 2,000-sq-foot house with a $3,200 mortgage... They realized that even with one child, they would most likely need more space." nytimes.com/2026/04/26/bus…


Oh, nevermind.





Autonomous logistics is a game-changer for elderly communities that aren't as mobile and often can't access the same services as the rest of us. Grandma is living in the future!🧓🚀

No one in our family can tell lemons from limes with their eyes closed. We all thought we could, but no one could. I bet all bartenders know this.

@MichaelFKane My oldest didn't sleep through the night until he was over a year old. My middle daughter had to be woken up to nurse after like 2 weeks. And then our third turned out to be almost perfectly average when it came to sleep. Pretty wild lol


A new baby usually deprives each of it’s parents around 350-400 hours of sleep in the first year.
