@syyyyriiiineee @ManikantaChavv7 @saafwater @theresidency Thanks 🙏

@ManikantaChavv7 @saafwater @theresidency SaafWater in theee baaag 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Moved to SF in Jan! We just closed a $600K order last week at @saafwater. In the same few weeks, we grew from monitoring 560M → 670M litres of water daily. Our deployments paid for themselves in 3 months!! Presenting it all in a few hours at @theresidency Demo Day in SF. Who's coming? 🚀 @HrishikeshMB @SanketMarathe09 @jehunix

@imittalishika @ManikantaChavv7 @saafwater @theresidency Thanks @imittalishika

@ManikantaChavv7 @saafwater @theresidency Congrats guys…keep rocking

You're wasting half your context window. We’re launching @thetokenco (YC W26) today. We compress LLM inputs before they reach the model. Fewer tokens, lower cost, faster inference. Models also perform better. In customer case studies we’ve seen a +5% lift in user purchases due to higher preference for outputs from compressed prompts. The API is live. Link in the comments

This week at @saafwater: - We’re scaling live water monitoring from 560 → 670 MLD over the next 6 months - We also locked in a 6-figure order for ~800 devices to automate and control an entire water network - And next week, we have meetings with US water utilities.

Mom, I’m on TV!!! From building robots in 4th grade in a remote town in Nepal to pitching @cheforgeai on @meetthedrapers in Silicon Valley! This feels unreal. We are now in the public voting round. The startup with the most votes goes straight to the Finals and pitch to potentially win $1,000,000 investment from @TimDraper . If you have supported me before, this is the moment I need you. Voting takes 30 seconds. Anyone with an email can vote. 1) Click the link in the comments 👇👇👇 2) Scroll to the bottom to find Cheforge 3) Enter your email 4) Confirm the code in your email 5) Done! Your vote could take us to the Finals and help us compete for a $1M investment. Voting ends soon. Let’s do this together. 🚀

Week 5 at @theresidency - Redesigned + field-tested our wastewater flow cell. Significantly reducing air-bubble interference and stabilising signals in high-fouling conditions. - Now focused on data-centre cooling: validating urgency, pilot design, and buyer paths. Targeting higher COC, lower blowdown, and potentially an uptime of ~99% - A few investor conversations moved to second meetings. If you’re into data-centres or know someone who’s into engineering/ops, would value an intro

Switch to hardware it will change your life! ⁦@sangam_chapagai⁩ converting ⁦@rahim_mirani⁩
