@Jason I'm in

We started an AI founder twitter group... reply with "I'm in" if you're a founder and want to be added

I’m speaking at PGC London on Tuesday Jan 20th (Beyond Games: Transmedia Summit, IP Integration Track): “The Short Drama Gold Rush: What It Is, Why Now, How to Join.” I’m building SuperDrama, a short-drama platform for mobile-native vertical series, and we use Brimstone AI in the writers’ room. I’ll break down the mechanics that make this category work, why the timing is favourable, and where the scalable business models sit. If you are an investor, IP holder, studio, or brand lead and this category is on your radar, I’d welcome a conversation during PGC. DM me or book via the meeting platform. @PGConnects @pgbiz #PGConnects #shortdrama #verticaldrama #AI #VC

@zephyr_z9 If you're retarded, you really should not be a startup founder. Obviously the whole text is bs

@SandyofCthulhu Why is the HATU YECS text mirrored?

Is this font worse than Papyrus or Comic Sans? I vote yes, because it almost hurts to read it.

I think my “otters on a plane using WiFi” may be a saturated benchmark now that nano banana pro can do this.

@alexiskold @2048vc It's a fine line where you have to dance. VCs have to endure because especially first-time founders don't know how venture capital works. Founders have to endure questions from clueless VCs like "show a detailed budget for the next five years"

Should the investors challenge founders during the diligence process? Should the founders want to be challenged during the due diligence? We are discussing it this week @2048vc and would love to know what you think. We are observing that some founders really don't like to be challenged, feel uncomfortable when we ask tough questions, especially in front of their co-founders. We feel that asking tough questions and challenging the founder is a feature of the process not a bug. If you can't take investor grilling how can you build a big business? Do you really want investors who just say YES to everything you say and clap or do you want thought partners who will challenge you? Do you want investors to just sit there and say nothing if they think there is a better business model or better GTM? Or do you welcome feedback? Conversely -- if you as an investor don't agree with a founder or see holes in there thinking -- do you just sit there and say nothing or do you give them feedback?

@OlliHerrala Hän oli varmaan siinä oikeassa, että parhaimmillaankin tulos on tällainen

Kun HYY:n omistaman Ylvan toimitusjohtaja Antti Kerppola jätti talon vuonna 2020, hän sanoi: ”Olemme näyttäneet, miten yritysaktivismi ja liberaalinen maailmankuva toimivat parhaimmillaan". Lopulta Y-tunnuksella oli enemmän velkaa kuin omaisuutta. Näin meni sillä maailmankuvalla.

@MartinGTobias So why do these investors pretend to be pre-seed investors? Are they larping? Do they confuse the terms? Genuine question

If an investor tells you they want to see a certain revenue growth rate YoY you are not taking to a pre seed investor. You are talking to a seed I’d aeries A. Investor. Call me instead. I wrote the check to this company with less than seed traction growth. AFTER your pre seed yes please grow > 500%

Mechanical looms & harvesters in the 1800s greatly increased worker employment and income. Automation in the 1950s greatly increased worker employment and income. Computers in the 1990s greatly increased worker employment and income. While it’s possible AI will be the exception, Luddites have been wrong 100% of the time so far, and that goes for grumpy old socialists too.

@compliantvc The real satire here is that it looks like satire, but it's not satire

Met a young founder in SF He's ambitious and wants to build But he feels bad not contributing to the greater good of society via taxes while his company remains unproftiable I told him there's a better-way In Europe, taxes accrue on value created, not just net profit His face lit up with a smile "That's it, I'm moving to Europe to build! It sounds like a business utopia!" I've had this conversation with at least 200 young founders No wonder Europe is winning the startup race

@ajhodls Looks like it's desperately hard to try to get attention when you're a minor VC

elite founders send decks as PDFs

@Pokee_AI POKEE

@MartinGTobias Robots for personal/ household use

After AI, what is next ?

@nic_detommaso 👋

If you’ve ever thought about starting your own angel syndicate or VC fund, I want to talk to you! I’ve got something I think will get you there faster Say hello 👋🏼

@ajhodls Is this a parody account?

startups with a COO co-founder ☠️☠️☠️

@ajhodls That really would be stupid AF

bullish on pre-seed founders who put their mobile number right on their homepage

@antonosika Not many sales for this thought

building from europe is a competitive advantage
