Took a while but got my O-1, pretty random for an 18 year old from Halifax, Canada but we’re officially moving to the states!

@danielgross Im working on a project for autonomous maintenance for AI compute. Using power and current sensors to drive efficiency (maximizing tokens per watt) and coolant analysis to detect early hardware degradation(pumps, fouling, etc).

I am building out Meta's compute desk. I am looking for folks with background in any of: deep learning, supply chains, commodities, semiconductors, sovereigns, energy, Excel, prediction markets, monitoring situations, etc. Candidates should have experience in at least one of these domains, and novel ideas on how to apply LLMs to their work. If you'd like to help manage $100b+ of compute spend, please DM and include information about why you're a fit. (If you're in doubt about being a good fit please apply! Epistemic humility is in short supply these days.)

Cheers to 2025. Raised $10.5m @ 19 years old Grew our team 5x Outgrew 2 offices Built and launched our product in multiple countries. Went from 0 to multiple Fortune 500 customers using our product. Proud of the Omen.AI team. Excited for 2026.

It’s alive 🧟‍♂️

sf is not ready for the texas twang

@IanTheDev Congrats bro!

first $100 MRR ever 😂🙏

@nickmihailou If you’re dropping out for the money, agreed. If you’re leaving cause you believe in the project and you got the early signal then I think that’s great(what I did). Lots of early founders get sucked into the former though and the wrong signals.

Deciding to drop out of high school because you made $10k in 2 months is ridiculous. All the more reason to stay in school and let your brain develop. It’s a negative signal, and to me symbolises laziness. Teenage founders: graduate high school, you can make money on the side

@cloutdotme @ericzhu

your data system is behind. if you’re still relying on LinkedIn updates like “stealth startup” to spot talent, you’re already too late. we’ve built the most powerful tool in private markets to spot people and patterns others can’t.

@BrookeaJoseph It’s like the matrix

I feel like a sheep

@ericzhu INSPIRATIONAL!

Anguilla made $30m in 2023 from its .ai domain hosting. That’s 10% of the countries GDP 🤯

@bitcoinbasha Ya for sure

@FounderLaberge hey zach, going to be applying for one in next month or so. can i dm?

For any Canadian who’s applying for their O1 or received their petition approval. Happy to chat through with you, got some good learnings that would of definitely saved me some stress and headache the first go round!

@avg_aditya Sure

@FounderLaberge I am not Canadian but I want to ask about O1 visa ,Can I ?

Private markets shouldn't be a guessing game Welcome to Aviato

@avg_Aditya Thanks brother appreciate it

@FounderLaberge I began my day by watching your whole podcast! Incredible bro such clear customer insights!

Took a while but got my O-1, pretty random for an 18 year old from Halifax, Canada but we’re officially moving to the states!
