The best source of funding is paying customers, not VCs. Just a reminder

Does anyone here use anthropic's agent sdk if so how have you found it?

For some reason @Claude Code became worse overnight any one else?

@pmarca This is me lol

Found our niche!

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

@ChiefSnack @siriusai @speedrun @a16z Building an operating system for global physical trade mercora.io

a16z SR006 just wrapped, and it completely reframed how we’re building at @siriusai Now, the search is on for the @speedrun SR007 cohort in San Francisco I’m looking to intro ambitious founders to the @a16z team. Drop a comment below with what you’re building! The Deal: - Up to $1M investment - Direct help to launch and scale This is the FINAL week to get in. Applications officially close May 17th at 11:59 PM PST

@zebird0 @a16z @speedrun Cool, what would be solid traction? Currently running pilots with revenue + commuted MRR post pilot Would you be up for a chat potentially?

@nullnameguy @a16z @speedrun They've accepted solo founders, helps if you have some traction or recruited a team around you

I helped build @a16z @speedrun from the ground up and am now one of the first teams in the 007 batch. Few have seen both sides of the program. AMA. Applications, interviews, what partners actually look for, what the support is really like...

@UBS Is the most incompetent bank in Switzerland

@RaphaelDabadie Me, applying with mercora.io

Who’s applying to YC S26 ? 👀

@hthieblot @nullnameguy

You just became a VC. You’ve got $1M to deploy. Who gets your money? Tag them. Or back yourself.

@hthieblot I had flat metrics for ages with my previous startup and my current one then it all happens at once 1 week 3 b2b deals all at once…

Only suffering makes you a better founder. The rejections. The flat metrics. The 3 AM ceiling stares wondering if you’re delusional. Embrace it. High pain tolerance is the only moat that can't be disrupted. Don't seek ease. Seek strength. Aim for the impossible.

@AnthropicAI Increase the design limits plsssss 🙏

@speedrun Im gonna for sure 👍

a16z speedrun will return to San Francisco for our summer/fall cohort. Applications open tomorrow. Who's planning to apply?

@hthieblot @fdotinc When will we get invites to the discord?

We just finished reviewing applications for Canopy. The team worked 14-hour days for the past 10 days. Most online applications were completed today, so if you applied for the online program, you still have a good chance of getting in tonight at 10 PM. I’ve watched so many videos at 1.5x and 2x speed that it feels weird to hear people in real life. There were so many great teams—unfortunately, we couldn’t accept everyone. We’re stretching our in-person slots to the limits of our facility. If you were rejected, it’s just a matter of time before you get in. Keep trying, raise your ambitions, build an amazing team, and gain more momentum. I’m excited to meet everyone on Wednesday for kickoff. It’s going to be special—our first hybrid program, both in-person and online. It’s also our first time doing this, so expect some hiccups, but we’ll keep improving. This is the work of our lives. Our mission is to help 100,000 +founders start the journey regardless if we finance you or not.

@0xAlphaEngine @kr_nilay27 @fdotinc @consentsam_ Thanks, I’ll see you on discord in that case hopefully soon 🫡

@nullnameguy @kr_nilay27 @fdotinc @consentsam_ Not yet, waiting for that

🚀 Big one for us! @consentsam_ and I got into Canopy Online by @fdotinc to keep building @0xalphaengine. For the next 5 weeks, we’re going all-in on confidential DeFi & encrypted strategy infrastructure. Who else is building in Canopy this season? Let’s connect.

Cool! @hthieblot ❤️
