Matthew Chen@mlaurencechen·
Big news: @trylaurence is now a media company. Today, we're launching The Backend, a podcast dedicated to sharing e-commerce founder and investor stories. Our core business stays the same: we're still building autonomous full-funnel advertising, starting with Amazon. But we have an opportunity here to build something bigger and provide so much more value to the community through our platform, and I'm so so excited to share this with you. Our first guest is incredible. Aaron Apple was the first believer in our vision for Laurence, and I'm honored that I get to share his story: he bootstrapped his Amazon FBA business to a $40 million exit starting with just $12,000 in cash, and he's been an incredible mentor and role model to me. Our episode is live right now! Check us out on: - Youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=Zm-pgG… - Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/13nm1X… We're just getting started.

the ad tech renaissance is coming.
Jared Friedman@snowmaker

If you want to find a truly impactful idea, a good place to look is in the trash bin of history. Most of the ideas that have most broken out in the last 5 years aren't new. They're old ideas that got written off too early. examples: 1) AI: When Sam started OpenAI, saying "AGI" got you laughed at 2) Space: Elon started SpaceX after people had written off the 1960s-era dreams as sci-fi 3) Supersonic flight: Blake started Boom after everyone assumed Concorde already proved it couldn't work 4) Nuclear energy: fission and fusion are roaring back decades after ambitious people stopped studying nuclear physics 5) GLP-1's: After the fen-phen disaster, weight loss drugs were synonymous with snake oil. There's a good reason this keeps happening. When a hyped idea fails, there's a backlash. It becomes embarrassing to work on - anyone still working on it is assumed too dumb to know better. So, if you want to work on something like this, you have to teach yourself to feel the tinge of that embarrassment and push past it.

I’ve always felt that abundance makes excellence relatively rarer. Today I figured out why exactly. And it’s not doomer news, because it makes excellence also more likely:

Today we filed a lawsuit against Oasis.  Oasis misled consumers. Knowingly, repeatedly.  The case with LMNT is straightforward. It’s linked below.  But this case is about more than that to me.  This is about fabricated fear for profit.  This is about a group of online “health creators” that have lost their way. Terrorizing people - especially new parents of young kids and those with vulnerable conditions.  There are hundreds of accounts now, manufacturing scientific-sounding content, often with AI, that they know almost nothing about.  Oasis has misled millions of people, about hundreds of products - and our day in court is coming.

@mlaurencechen @trylaurence What specifically is a hacker house? The concept is not common to us down under in New Zealand. Do you hire a house and rent out rooms to developers/founders?

Scaling a CPG brand is crazy because; First you’re doing recipe dev in your kitchen. Then you’re making 10k units & have no idea where you’ll sell them. Then you're making 250k units & don’t know if you'll stay in stock. So on & so forth. Excited for 1M, 10M, and 100M units.

Taking a bet on Laurence This $40M Amazon FBA founder traded endless, useless agency meetings for an immediate 15% growth in total net profits. With Laurence, he didn't just save time; he scaled his earnings For full insights, watch the full podcast LINK IN COMMENTS
