@FredrikHjelm4 Depends if those flights to West coast are during winter :D Then we know the answer

Swedish pension funds invest in American funds that fly to Stockholm to lead rounds in Swedish startups The round-trips (business or first class, ofc) fees alone could fund an early company Our pension capital, managed in Boston, taking 2-and-20, to back Spotifys next competitor Meanwhile top Swedish funds are sitting right here, with better founder networks, better sector knowledge, and better European exit infrastructure I get it. The Napa Valley LP meeting is nice. But that’s not a capital allocation strategy Sweden produces more tech unicorns per capita than almost anywhere on earth. Our funds can lead most of those rounds. They’ve been doing it for 20 years Is this actually about returns, or is it about someone on an investment committee wanting a reason to fly to the West Coast?

most people think entrepreneurship is about raising millions and hiring hundreds. i didn't do either of those things. but starting a company at 18 still changed my life in ways i never expected. when i was just starting my bachelor at baku state university, i joined startup weekend through friends (back in 2012 we didn't have 5 hackathons every week). through that program and community, i won a trip to explore turkey's startup programs in istanbul and ankara, mainly at istanbul technical uni - and it was the coolest thing i'd ever seen. i loved tech. i'd been building my own pc since i was 6, back in iran in 2001, when getting parts was nearly impossible. so seeing teams at istanbul technic building robots, training ai models for fashion, ..., it hit different. i came back to baku and pitched the idea of building something similar at my university. with support from the dean for foreign students, i presented it at the monthly meeting with the university rector. got approved. "bsu innovation center", my first incubator, at 18, while running my first startup on the side (bakuparking). then a few months later, i get a linkedin message from an american billionaire visiting baku. he wants to meet me. the day before my philosophy exam. i was convinced it was a scam. why would someone who's exited several billion-dollar companies want to sit down with a random 18 year old in baku? turns out, that message was the first act in a journey that changed everything. to be continued

@pricefoulger Cody should meet Shakira, my claw. Date night?

I’m sitting on an airplane right now. I remembered a roofing company that gets 100% of their business from real estate agents. Every single job comes from pre-sale roof inspections. No other marketing. So I had an idea…I sent a prompt to Cody, my openclaw, who helped me write a prompt to run . All from my phone, on discord, from a plane. It scraped Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com for real estate agents actively listing homes built between 1965 and 2000 in my service area. Brokerage, phone, email, active listings, property addresses, year built. , everything. A csv just landed in my Google Drive. Cody is already starting outreach. I’m still in the air. I don’t have employees doing this. I don’t have a VA. I have an AI agent doing actual work for me, and blowing my mind. If you’re doing stuff like this, hit up the comments 👇🏼

@hamedmp <3 more fuel for the fire

celebrate failures they said who's in the top 10% crew? 😂

@jakezward You should share the exact domains that got ranked, for accountability - it's likely they lose AI search ranking within a few weeks.

@MDXcrypto my fav helix

I bought a 2 bed in this tower in Dubai 3 months ago 🇦🇪 #Dubai Guess how much I paid for it and how much it's worth now.

Today, we share our AI doctor for the first time The future is an AI that knows more about your body than any human ever could. 247 commits. 140,000 lines of code. Months of engineering. Here it is:

@forestmanjohn lfg

3 months ago, I quit my job to chase a dream: to build an affordable, convenient, plastic-free coffee maker. Grateful for everyone who has reserved ❤️ puresteelco.com

@paxtondrexler @Peter63712585 @alexkole @fmfclips I also have baby and will try this. God knows we need it!

Going in for my annual blood work in March. Will be curious to see. I’ve been told not to go off of creatinine levels only, but a cystatin-c lab is required for a picture of kidney health. I know of several who have had higher creatinine but cystatin-c is normal. As far as any other risks, I don’t know. Think we’re in the experimental phase of such high doses. Andy Galpin has talked about super super high doses in TBI recovery for longer periods. Jury’s still out.

Taking a single high dose (25–30g) of creatine not only reverses the cognitive impairment caused by 21 hours of sleep deprivation, it can boost brain function beyond fully rested levels Neuroimaging reveals the mechanism: ->High doses of creatine quickly replenish brain energy stores, enhancing neuronal function and metabolic efficiency under extreme stress This makes high-dose creatine a powerful tool for situations like jet lag, red-eye flights, and unavoidable sleep loss

@Surya_x0 the real question

if AI replaced your job, what would you do next?

@jamiepine @jamiepine i just paid directly, without starting an account. Can you DM me, ill share my email so we can fix it

This is my take on the perfect AI assistant. A Rust-based agentic operating system designed to scale for large Slack and Discord communities. The channel is the ambassador to the human. Branches think. Workers execute. Nothing ever blocks. Meet Spacebot 🟣 The biggest issue with OpenClaw is when it's doing work, it can't talk to you. Spacebot's architecture fixes this by design the conversation layer never touches tools. It delegates thinking to branches and heavy tasks to workers, so it's always responsive even with 100 people talking at once. Dump your memory files, notes, documents and chat histories into a folder — Spacebot turns them into structured memories automatically. Eight typed memory categories, graph associations, hybrid search. Not markdown files. Not vibes in a vector database. Built-in @OpenCode workers for deep coding sessions. Browser automation. Brave web search. Cron jobs. A skill system compatible with your existing OpenClaw skills. And a gorgeous control UI at spacebot.sh. The cortex oversees the whole system — auditing memories, actioning goals and todos. You teach your Spacebot by talking to it. Structure and speed over config files and markdown. Self-hosting is a single Rust binary. Or one-click cloud deploy at spacebot.sh. This is for teams, communities, and personal assistants. It will blow you away. ⭐️ github.com/spacedriveapp/…

@davidsenra You love pooping on early-stage founders. I don't get why though? Seen it a few times now. Maybe it's just rage bait @davidsenra Product is commoditized now - you need to be exceptional at packaging and selling it. Distribution is all that's left. This is confirmed

There’s too many people playing entrepreneur:

@CoFoundersNik @steipete Acquisition valuation isn’t confirmed.

Today, @steipete became the first confirmed (long theorized) one-person Unicorn! OpenClaw launched as a weekend side project by less than 3 months ago. Here's the timeline: Nov 25: First GitHub commit. Starts as a weekend side project Jan 25: Goes nuclear. 9k stars in one day. 2M website visitors in a single week Jan 27: Renamed Moltbot (possibly the worst renaming ever) after Anthropic trademark complaint Jan 29: Renamed @OpenClaw (thank GOODNESS!), blog confirms 100k+ stars milestone Early Feb: Hits 145k–149k stars + 20k forks Feb 11: Steinberger notes 180k people starred the repo Feb 12: Steinberger on Lex Fridman podcast, shares story & vision Feb 15 (today): Sam Altman announces Steinberger joining OpenAI to build next-gen personal/multi-agent systems Full cycle: 82 days from zero to this Absolutely INSANE!

@gamestop Can i apply for a job at gamestop through this?

@gamestop <3

There's only one

what i want for valentines

@mwseibel funny, i thought founders were suposed to be different by nature

When the typical outcome for a post seed, post series A, and post series B startup is death. Perhaps the best strategy is to be careful how much you copy the startups around you. Are you brave enough to think different?

@awilkinson @hamedmp is your guy

I want to hire someone to build me an team of remote Openclaw employees. Who can help? 🤑 Paid gig. TLDR: I want - support, engineering team, designer, marketer, etc.

@Param_eth @hamed

SimpleClaw launched 5 days ago. Today it hit $17k MRR, and the owner is selling this SaaS project. He is asking $2.25 million.

@vatsalcodesit @im_roy_lee <3

@im_roy_lee Anyone can do revenue math. The real challenge is finding 80k people who actually care and that’s a distribution problem, not a platform (or university) size problem. Also, the “my young Indian friend” line was unnecessary.

if ur building in true consumer then please bro think twice about marketing on X tech twitter is TINY and at best will brutally force you into the hell hole of a plateau that is $300k/mo if u can find me irl and are not extremely unlikable, i will eagerly share all learnings
