D-4 : The house Why I am speaking like I rap? Teaser from the Hexa House in SF

Organisation a dinner with OpenAI team at the @joinhexa house in SF. We open 2 seats, shoot me a message!

Since I'm off Instagram, let's bring some insta-quality photos over to this app. Today's final with the crew at the @joinhexa x @OpenAI house in SF. @odyssey_s121 @ThibautRegerat @hugues2047 📸 @ilia_v_semenov

@ludogranger Kited with one last week!!

Finally saw my first whale today in California. After months of obsession.

Today at the Hexa Hacker House, we sat down with unicorn founder Nicolas D’Audiffret (founder of Ankorstore). Nicolas, who’s currently staying at the house with the other founders, shared his advice for first-time founders: when to start, how to run a startup, and why SF is the place to be.

LinkedIn DM from a "prospect" today: "After viewing your profile, I would be honored to connect with you. If you agree, please accept my invite." When your lead-gen target lead-gen you. Inception moment

Meet @pibou_dev, the first of our 11 founders currently at the Hexa hacker house in SF. Pierre just completed his PhD at MIT, where he worked on the future of work, and is now building in stealth in that space. Follow us for the reveal of the 10 other founders.

some people are telling NYC is better than SF. I didn’t believe them until…

@tiboel @OpenAI @joinhexa The level of the founders is just incredible. Bringing the brightest minds in the same house without any limit in what they can ship (in terms of velocity + technicality). Welcome @OpenAI!

@OpenAI just joined the house 🙏 Our @joinhexa summer founder residency in SF is now the Hexa × OpenAI House with credits, Codex Pro, and early access to everything they ship. A handful of founders, selected from 250+ applications, are already inside building.

@t_blom @ycombinator @NotTomBrown Wtf

Personal update: I'm taking a leave of absence from YC to join Anthropic. I'll be working with @NotTomBrown on the compute team. Powerful AI has the potential to improve the life of every human on earth and, as we enter the early stages of recursive self-improvement, availability of compute becomes one of the most important issues to solve. I'm excited to get started 🚀

Happy to announce that I’m building this month at the @joinhexa x @OpenAI hacker-house in #sanfrancisco! Time for a reintroduction: > aka apparently I'm an SF veteran now (because I moved here in 2022, before the hype) > scaled @gorgiasio' AI Agent product from 0 to ~1k customers (and worked with tremendously smart people!) > before that, I was at @McKinsey advising senior executives at Fortune 500 companies > lived in 6 countries and picked up many languages along the way > taught myself to code before the LLMs, launched multiple products, I'm scrappy > love hiking, biking and yoga > got my #EB1A green card this year 🇺🇸 > recently made the leap and decided to build my own company :) more on that soon Stay tuned for more updates!! the real goats: @GeeraertE @hugues2047 @bawstos @ventiph @ThibautRegerat @pibou_dev @gegatsur @snoelso @odyssey_s121

@snoelso built a patch that lets us ask Claude anything, entirely bypassing the prompt classifier. First test: Claude built an XSS crawler, no safety problem whatsoever. @ClaudeDevs, want to chat?

Breaking frontier models to do security research. 👾 This is a Saturday in Hexa's Hacker House. 🇺🇸 @joinhexa @ClaudeDevs @pibou_dev @elder_plinius

@tristan_cte How would you explain this 😂

let's go explain to my french bros that tech companies in SF are now hosting "rave parties" for the release of their dark mode

@snoelso @joinhexa @standoutwork 😅

Kind of scared to run this again after a month in the hexa hacker house in SF. 🇺🇸 `npx standout` @joinhexa #hackerhouse #sanfrancisco #building #founders #ai

👇 Why you should be building with other founders This afternoon we were preparing a cold call session. We coach each other and improve our pitch. Doing it together feels like a fun game, not like a task you have to do. We can see what works for each other and how each persona 'reacts' to the call. Another experienced founder walks into the room and shares the script with which he was booking 10-15 demos a week. Damn. He got it from a sales performance firm that he was probably paying $2k per month. We get it for free, exactly when we were about to start our calls. Do you think you experience this when you're building in your room? Hell no. The environment is everything. Like the harness. Thanks @joinhexa! Thanks partner in crime @ventiph! #founders #coldcall

Day 1 at the @joinhexa house in San Francisco. 🇺🇸 Hexa put a group of European founders together for the summer. They bring the house, network, and credits, and ask that we ship, share, and move fast. I'm building Enoki, the defense system for your AI app.

Day 1 of the @joinhexa house in SF! An amazing team of builders & technical founders. We started the week with a lot of good news. In the cohort, we have: - Unicorn founder - Exited founders - YC alumni - Founder of a research lab at MIT Stay tuned! LFG 🔥 @bawstos @ventiph @ThibautRegerat @pibou_dev @gegatsur @snoelso @odyssey_s121 @GeeraertE #hackerhouse #sanfrancisco #building #founders #ai

The US is a country of opportunities for people ready to take them. It rewards those who are hardworking, ambitious, and smart. European friends often tell me that intelligence doesn’t pay off much in Europe. In the US, it can really help you build your capital. You have the permission to be ambitious, have room to fail and start again, and a place where what you build matters more than where you come from. In 4 years here, I: > At least 15x’d my capital > Got my Green Card for ‘Exceptional Abilities’ > Got promoted 4 times in 3.5 years > Surrounded with people building at the edge of AI > Started building my own company And it feels like only the starting line. I arrived with a very strong French accent and I was nervous to speak out loud in English. Now French people tell me my English is very good 😆 still a work in progress, but we’re getting there! I’m grateful for the journey and the opportunities that came my way. I love Europe, but I don’t think this would have been possible there by design. Systems and environments shape people differently and open up different opportunities. Happy 250th, America! PS: yes it was freezing yesterday and we didn’t see the fireworks because of @KarlTheFog_

Man do I want Paraguay to lose. Not just because they deserve to, but because I don't want to have to watch any more of them.
