Samhitha Pinisetti

@danieldwalton Hi Daniel! It’s getting better each day, thank you :)

@SamPinisetti_ pleasure to see you here how is it going

Let’s connect! If you’re building, founding, or working on exciting projects, I’d love to connect. I'll start 👆🏼 I’m building BYTE - An agentic OS built exclusively for higher education, one that connects to your digital life, understands context, and actually gets things done. I’m looking to grow my network of builders and founders.

@NWExplained That might be the issue then 😭

@SamPinisetti_ it doesnt do well with british english?

claude might be the smartest AI… with the worst dictation. Amazing at reasoning. Terrible at hearing me talk. How is the speech UX this bad in 2026?

@jayyeh This is something we usually learn the hard way. We like to start things by presenting what we think is an investible story and then realize that was a mistake Personally I always liked intimidating people 🙃

worked with a startup built entirely around porn... yes, porn. they didn't tone it down. those investors were never writing the check anyway. instead they went all in on what made it genuinely risky and genuinely interesting some hated it. the ones who didn't were fired up and ready to back it immediately watered down ideas don't get rejected outright. they get a lukewarm pass from everyone. VCs want huge. huge scares people. that's the point.

@heyitstayyba @KevinSzabo14 Must be the bots 🤖

@KevinSzabo14 It's funny how most people in the comments don't get this. They are congratulating Kevin for the first client. Or probably it's their AI lol

" JUST SIGNED MY FIRST CLIENT!" Yes you did. But you just made sure you'll never sign a second one.

@sridharfyi Under valuing yourself will do you more harm than good (for everyone saying $0)

founders, quick question: if you raised a $500k pre-seed round, how much salary would you pay yourself from it? curious to hear what founders consider reasonable.

@JucoJack @sridharfyi LMAO 🤣

@sridharfyi To the people saying $0, VCs aren’t going to see your comment and miraculously send you a term sheet. You’re also an idiot and will literally die.

@chams_builds an people say ideas are not valuable...

it’s crazy… AI can build virtually anything. yet it's hard to find an idea truly worth building.

@EthanDriskill its trying to do everything all at once now and losing a lot of its customer base because of it.

We need Notion that just feels fluid and smooth. Something about it.. just feels too busy.

@teaganyuen1 @bondhq_ Hey! I came across Bond a couple months ago and remember thinking its pretty cool. Good to see you here :)

hi x, i'm teagan!! ✨ finally reviving this account, so here’s a quick intro: 2 months ago, i dropped out of boston college to move to sf and work full-time at @bondhq_ > i post startup content 20k+ @ teagan_talks on IG :) > im getting my skydiving certification soon!! > i used to yodel professionally when i was 7 new to the area so if you like trying new restaurants, extreme sports (bungee jumping perhaps), or bouncing GTM ideas off each other, would love to connect!!

@garrytan Such a gen-Z appropriate advice lol. Don’t be mid.

Don’t be a mid startup It’s true

@Shayeanna 100% Alignment is the only validation we need

Everyone should live to impress the highest version of themselves… not other people

@markproduct In the AI space, it would be ‘Context’

what actually makes a startup impossible to copy?

@Anyavovaa @jestonlu This needs a follow!

@jestonlu Reinventing astrocartography from first principles

Everyone talks about product-market fit. I'm more interested in "city-person fit." Where we are geographically situated can steer us to living a certain type of life. Every city is a network effect. The longer you stay in a city, the more you inherit its values.

@stijnnoorman Human-made is going to be the next ‘Organic’

When the world gets more artificial, we need to get more human.

@jpschroeder I am, I swear

THEY 👏 ARE 👏 GOING 👏 TO 👏 BAN 👏OPENSOURCE 👏 MODELS. You should be freaking out.

@omgsidewalks Geographical luck is real

I really don't think people realize how much their location can affect their life.

@itsaaroshi Seeing this logo made me think, ‘ah the good old days’ lol

Anyone still using VS code in the big 2026?😭

@renegadegenesis Slave by definition would mean my work is owned by someone else. If I work for myself, that’s just an investment.

Founders will flex 90+ hour work weeks like it's a badge of honor brother you're a slave

@DanielSmidstrup Nope. They still got a $60 billion payout though

anyone still using Cursor?

@Shra_va_ni Absolutely and you must.

can you call yourself a founder if Claude built the whole thing?
