Is it weird that a video about drone deliveries in India made me feel emotional...?

Here’s some advice most VCs won’t tell you directly when you’re raising funds as an early stage startup. Probably helpful for YC founders as you go into pitchapalooza next week.. > first, never monologue. A VCs attention span is worse than a toddler. trust me I have one and I am one 😅 > speaking of attention span, you have 7-9 minutes to make an impression that makes a VC lean in. Everyone tries to give our full attention. But, the first few minutes are crucial to ensure that we’re leaning in. > for early stage, you have to ensure you can flag what’s your unfair advantage from a product/tech, distribution and “you” perspective. Yes, you. Why were you born on this planet to make this startup happen? > market is the one that most founders take for granted that a VC will understand. most won’t. especially if it “feels” small. explain what’s hidden underneath the iceberg. why is it hiding in plain sight? what do you know that no one else does? > you are much better off spending time with a VC who’s convinced about the space vs. trying to change their mind. it’s generally a waste of time - just let it go. > best founders are generally competition aware, but not obsessed. don’t dismiss the competition but have a very clear why you’ll win. why your strategy is right. > the more esoteric details you tell us about the space the better. don’t fake it but it shows depth. shows you care. and that’s all that usually matters. > have a very clear answer on why you want to raise money. even if the answer is just because you can. the very best founders are also excellent at capital allocation. > finally, clarity + obsession is the killer combo. obsession is hard to fake. clarity often comes with practice. So practice! And last but most importantly - don’t lie. VCs talk to other VCs all the time. This is how we know if you actually have a term sheet. Some might get away with it, but I have seen this backfire far more than you can imagine. Good luck!

I think building a satellite imagery company might be one of the best proving grounds in all of tech: - Space is hard. - Manufacturing is hard. - Capital intensity is hard. - Petabyte-scale data infrastructure is hard. - Selling to defense and intelligence customers domestically is hard. - Selling to defense and intelligence customers internationally is hard. - Running a global, 24/7 service that is life-or-death for your customers is hard. - Long lead times juxtaposed against unpredictable demand shocks is hard. - Export, spectrum, and national security compliance as a startup is hard. - Geopolitical and industrial policy motivated acquisition is hard.

Very high value advice. If you are a young American aggrieved at being displaced by cheap labor foreigners (or if that is a political bugbear of yours as an older relative) - do this. No shortage of high paying work if you'll do this + learn PCB layout, too. Do it, it's fun.

im often asked “how do i break into robot learning without a phd?” buy an SO-101 ($300) and do something interesting understand the stack, train models, implement a paper, do serious on-robot evals, document your work the pool of talent with real experience is v small

How does Lovable Hack Social Algorithms to Have Viral Posts: "We have a channel called bee swarming where employees post their content and everyone goes to amplify it. We try to turn every engineer into a marketer and get the whole team posting about things they are excited about. Then marketing puts its full firepower behind the biggest launches to tell the story." @ElenaVerna Biggest lessons on how to make posts go viral @antonosika @lukeharries @eglyman @FoundersPodcast?

One thing we believe deeply is that the best founders should find help in everything they do, portfolio company or not. @axialaero is one of those teams that we are super proud of. They are not a portfolio company (yet) but are looking for someone to join the team as Engineering Lead. They essentially build full-motion, full-mission simulation platforms for fighter pilots, helicopter crews, commercial pilots, and astronauts. Real centrifugal force. Immersive virtual environment with real-time physics. The closest thing to a real cockpit that can exist on the ground. Non-negotiables, - C/C++ for writing firmware. - Proven experience taking hardware from concept through to field prototype Tag someone who should see this. JD and details in the comments.

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

Bluntly Put Philosopher (BPP)
The Sunbird Fusion Rocket from Pulsar Fusion echoes ideas long explored by propulsion pioneer Paul Czysz, using advanced propulsion to transform deep-space travel. Fusion rockets could cut Mars trips to weeks and open the outer solar system.

karp’s thesis is narrower than it sounds. the advantage is not the wiring. it’s the decade of forced improvisation. people who spent their whole lives building cognitive workarounds are already expert at optimizing how they interact with systems. AI amplifies that meta-skill. everyone else is just discovering it now.
