I'm hiring a staff level engineer who will own every piece of infra behind Nebula's Agents.
Databases. Queuing. Sandboxes. Browsers. Orchestration. All of it.
Context: Nebula gives users a team of AI agents that write code, manage files, call APIs, and fire triggers autonomously.
The ceiling on how capable those agents can be is directly set by the infrastructure underneath them.
The job isn't to maintain what we have, its to unlock what our agents can do.
Small team in SF, massive surface area. Probably the most important engineering hire we make this year.
DM me if this sounds like your kind of problem with why you're the right fit.

Tested @PhotaLabs' new AI image model to see how it stacks up. I currently consider Nano Banana Pro the gold standard for image gen but I'm considerably impressed by the 4K resolution from Phota Labs in comparison.
Output looks comparable at first glance but you can really tell the difference after you zoom in.

A month back, we had a chance to celebrate the journey of @PrizePicks (pt1). At the end of the day, it was a celebration for my hometown of Atlanta, and for a brand like ours, not sure there was a better way to cement it than having @BigBoi headline. It was great to put on a show for so many people who helped along the way whether they were on our teammates, investors, partners, adopters or simply supporters.
When we started PrizePicks, we said we were gonna put the A on the (tech) map — I was sick & tired of hearing about some other cities being recognized as better technology hubs than a city that’s been producing winners for decades. The biggest thing missing from ATL’s resume was consumer-facing technology success stories. In Mid-January, we closed our multi-billion dollar deal to sell a majority stake to @Allwyn so we can turbocharge our future growth opportunities.
While ATL has been at the heart of our brand, I wanted to be sure we stretched our brand in a couple different directions so added two of my favorite artists from our biggest market of California: @MARCEBASSY led off the night with some R&B while @brycevine gave us a taste of some LA Hip Hop. Of course we had to close it down with ATL’s own @GREGMIKE and his DJ offshoot Loudwerx.
My FT employment may have wrapped up with the close of the deal, but I remain an active, engaged Board member, and I'm looking forward to (pt2) in the PrizePicks journey!
All that said though, it's time to get back to my roots...

There's a vast marketing industrial complex of agencies/consultants/advisors/whatever that promotes tech startups spending billions of dollars of unaccountable marketing budget. They're triggered by my anti-paid stance
but here's the reality:
- paid marketing is much, much worse than organic on every metric (conversion, ROI, etc)
- startups work on a fast time scale and can't manage LTV/CAC correctly beyond a months timeframe
- risk is asymmetric. a few bad cohorts can kill you (and btw, this has definitely happened)
- the age of easy/cheap ad inventory is over. Pricing is controlled by an oligopoly, it's all being algorithmically bid up, and ROI sucks at scale
- paid UA has S-curves. Early spend looks good, but plateaus and it's easy to get addicted
- if your product is growing organically already, you might just be cannibalizing and pulling forward demand you'd already get anyway
- high reliance on paid indicates weakness in the core product and value prop
- you can't build a 100m+ DAU product with the majority coming from paid UA (it's just obv math)
- going majority paid UA makes it 10x harder to raise VC capital down the line. For all the reasons on this list
the main benefit of paid is simple:
your agency/consultant/whatever spends money, some numbers go up, and you feel like you're doing something. It's simple to understand, you can apply it to every type of product, and every big co does it right?
Billions of dollars swap hands just based on this dynamic. But for startups I argue it's the growth lever of last resort, since it's the most commoditized form of distribution -- you should try to exhaust your other ideas, invest deeper in your product, and grow based on whats unique in the ways that only your startup can grow. That way your channels are as defensible as possible, built around your killer value prop
After all one day, you hit your CAC ceiling, your channel saturates, or worse, your competitors just do the same, copying your distribution strategy, dragging the whole industry into a prisoner's dilemma. When that happens, it's hard to incubate a bunch of new 0-1 channels to save your forecasts. The temptation is just to stretch payback periods, buy more, and ride it out. That's a dark path...
