My first 6 years as a startup founder:
- Failed with 4+ startups
- Ran out of money multiple times & had $15K credit card debt
- Was rejected by Y Combinator 8 times
- Got 200+ rejections from investors
My last year as a startup founder:
- Got into a16z @speedrun & raised $18M
- Moved to SF & got O1 thanks to @tmhammer & @lighthousehq_
- Scaled Rork to #1 AI mobile app builder in the world
The average journey to a $1B company takes 10 years. I’m on year 7.
Keep building.

30 of the 70 companies in our last @speedrun batch had founders born outside the US and if we keep doing our job – and we will – that number is only going up: * founders building products + teams internationally * builders stuck in an H-1B job ready to accelerate their slope * students here on F-1 who are ready to take a shot at their startup idea Speedrun Global Founders is our answer >> our end-to-end approach to guiding founders through visas, customs, housing, banking, and building local SF community, while enabling founders from all over the globe to participate in Speedrun we also have the coolest hat in venture - maybe thats a lame flex, but i honestly challenge you to show me better vc drip you might catch a few of our founders wearing them today. come through Global Founders and I’ll bring you one 🫡 -apply below my friends-

The next a16z Speedrun cohort opened up last week.
If you're applying - comment below. What are you building and what do you actually need right now?
I did @speedrun with SUN this year. Moves fast, worth it.
I'll go first: @sunapp_ai turns any topic into an audio course or podcast in seconds. For people who want to learn but have no time to read.
What are you working on? Drop it in the chat!
Let's get you visible.

@ryancarson General rule I follow is if i scroll through and don’t see anything I would find useful in professional/interests, usually don’t accept
English
I've started to say no to LinkedIn requests.
What is everyone else's strategy here?
I used to just accept everybody, but I realize now the signal-to-noise ratio on my connections is not good.
I really wish somebody would boot up an Agent First network that was actually good, so that my agent could go out and find other people's agents and request permission to meet them.
I still can't believe LinkedIn isn't doing this.
It just seems like it's there for them to grab and own.

Progress matters.
But visibility multiplies it.
Are you visible enough?
