The founders who figure out OpenClaw in the next 90 days are going to look like geniuses in 2027. The problem is most agency owners don't have time to figure out the install, the security risks, where to start, or what to actually hand it first. So my team built a 48-page beginner's guide that does it for you. Inside: — The exact prompts to hand it on day one — Plain English setup for Mac and Windows — How to secure it so it doesn't burn your business down — 42 copy-paste workflows across sales, marketing, ops, and finance Your competitors are sleeping on this. Comment OPENCLAW and I'll send it.
The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃@startupideaspod

"OpenClaw is the new computer." — Jensen Huang This is the early PC era all over again. A few power users see it. Everyone else hasn't even started. "It's the most popular open source project in the history of humanity, and it did so in just a few weeks. It exceeded what Linux did in 30 years." A solo founder with OpenClaw can now build what used to take a 50-person team. The leverage is absurd.

I built the ultimate GTM Engineer AI Toolkit that handles prospect research, outreach writing, meeting prep, and more in minutes. This is a beginner-friendly walkthrough that shows you exactly how to set it up, use it at work, and personalize it to your business. It can: - Research real prospects and companies - Score accounts against your ICP - Write personalized cold outreach sequences - Generate meeting prep briefs before calls - Help you build a repeatable prospecting pipeline - All using a free toolkit + Claude Code / Codex. This is for SDRs, founders, marketers, and GTM operators who want to use AI to do more at work without buying another expensive tool. I break down the full workflow step by step in the video. 👇 Comment "GTM GUIDE" and I’ll send you the full toolkit. (make sure you're following me so I can DM you)

Wow that went by fast! I could swear we were just celebrating our 25th and here we are well on our way to 30. It’s been a wild ride to go from storing code in holes punched in paper to AI helping you write complex code. Every year we are accelerating what’s possible. Thankful to be living and working in the future.
Softeq@Softeq

Twenty-nine years of building what’s next. 🎉 Since 1997, we've helped companies turn complex ideas into embedded, AI-driven, and connected products that ship and scale. Grateful to our Teqies, clients, and partners worldwide. 🌐

@zachcoelius No we are not ready. It’s a massive Tsunami, and even tho we know what it means that the ocean is receding fast, and most everyone on the beach are blissfully unaware, we are standing there admiring the sky…because frankly, there’s nothing we can do to stop it.

@elonmusk @aaronburnett I’ve often wondered why you didn’t have the moon in your mars plan, @elonmusk, to iterate quickly on building in harsh environments. Glad to see this shift as @SpaceX is best positioned to build a US moonbase first.

@aaronburnett The Moon would establish a foothold beyond Earth quickly, to protect life against risk of a natural or manmade disaster on Earth. We would continue to launch directly from Earth to Mars while possible, rather than Moon to Mars, as fuel is relatively scarce on the Moon.

So happy that @united has been switching planes to @Starlink. The WiFi on United flights has sucked so bad for way too long. Now it just works. Finally!! Thank you @elonmusk and thank you both…you’ve made my magic chair in the sky so much better.

Good read. I’ve always been a huge proponent of constant learning and that won’t change in the AI era. It will just accelerate and your potential will compound if you choose to lean in and embrace it as the high agency individual you are. In the tech world, that’s been a constant need as the technology has always changed fast. With AI the pace has only picked up speed.

It was an honor to be one of the first guests on the We Are UH podcast celebrating UH’s upcoming Centennial. My interview starts about 30min in. youtu.be/77SnZgqy8Ow?fe… The University of Houston has had a fundamental impact on my career. I graduated High School in Florida in the top 2% of my class out of 900 students. But my family didn’t have the ability to send me to college. My Aunt lived in Houston and she suggested I apply to UH and stay with her and her family. And lo and behold UH took a chance on me by giving me a full ride Honors Scholarship in Electrical Engineering. I moved to Houston in 1981. 🏀 It was the days of Phi Slamma Jamma but I digress. Two years later I got married and couldn’t attend full time, but UH had something called the Co-Op program. I could work while going to college and gain experience. First I worked for the Light Company (now Centerpoint) and then for IBM down at NASA during the Space Shuttle days. It was the beginning of the IBM PC era and was fantastic experience. I was at IBM for 2.5 years learning everything about the PC and teaching myself programming languages from Basic to ADA to C to Assembly, while attending UH at night. From that foundation I kicked off my entrepreneurial journey, and none of it would have happened without the opportunities that UH gave me. Now it’s so exciting to see UH lean into entrepreneurship with Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship, TechBridge, and more. Bauer Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship at UH recently ranked No. 1 for the Seventh Consecutive Year. Thank you UH. Go Coogs!

Thanks for the laughs and for the insights, Scott. At one point I had a Dilbert full head rubber mask that used to scare the bejeezus out of people for some reason. 🤣 I have his Dilbert anthology and read his book God’s Debris but somehow missed his others. Going to read them now and pay it forward. RIP.

Everyone loves Jurassic park (rightfully) but so many other classics Great Train Robbery: not sci-fi but underrated thriller Timeline - underrated time travel/medieval exploration State of Fear: was prescient in how the climate doomers would act Airframe: on systems and institutions failing Prey: another favorite, prescient on autonomous drone tech I could go on and on - Congo, Andromeda Strain,...

Strongly recommend @PalmerLuckey's podcast with @joerogan. In particular, love Palmer's love for sci-fi - bringing up Crichton's classic Sphere which had a tremendous impact on me as a kid - David Brin's "Uplift" series, which I had somehow missed. a great listen and a ton of new "Palmer content".

@RakeshAgrawal Ok, so, what’s your favorite way to grind and use all these beans? 🫘 Given all I do now is pop in a K-Cup. 😜

Thread of the coffee I’m drinking. Got this big bag >2 lbs bag of Open Road from Texas Coffee Works just outside of Austin on 71. It’s going to last a while.
