I can finally talk about this!! Hotbox is backed by @a16z @speedrun :) I spent the last 14 months in Korea and now I’m back in SF, where it all began. My entire career exists because of social media. From early NeurIPS papers, to working on ranking algorithms, and then building viral playbooks for startups. The thing I kept coming back to is: every company has no choice but to become a media company. To distribute. To get attention. That is the next generation of entrepreneur’s biggest challenge. That’s the next single person unicorn’s moat. Hotbox is built for that next gen entrepreneur. Businesses run entirely on social now. Hotbox is the sales infra for the social economy. more to come. sign up on our waitlist & lmk if you’ll be at the a16z speedrun demo day 🤫

I got into YC twice. The first time, we got acquired. Runtime (P26) is part of @ycombinator.
 After Mentum's acquisition, I shipped 4 full-stack products at Nuvocargo in 3 months, then enabled the rest of the team to do the same. I obsessed over making it so easy and safe that anyone can spin up an environment in milliseconds, prompt, deploy, and create PRs.
 At Runtime, we give teams guardrails and observability to enable anyone to ship with coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, etc.) We’re already working with YC scaleups and used in 40 countries with zero ad spend. Some customers are enabling their product, design, marketing, and ops teams to contribute to existing codebases or build production-grade apps from scratch.
 Excited to be working again with @aaron_epstein, and now Charlie Warren, @dessaigne and @collinmathilde For our early customers, we're giving a forward deployed CTO treatment. DM me and I will personally set your sandboxes. Also, we're hiring our founding team. If you want to build at the bleeding edge of sandboxes and background agents, or build content, growth, and community in SF, reach out.

You either take the risk or end up working for someone who did. Worst case scenario: you learn. Best case scenario: it changes your whole life and trajectory. Playing it safe never built anything worth remembering.

One of the loneliest and most brutal stretches as a founder is holding unbreakable belief that you'll make it... when you have literally nothing to show for it. 2–4 years of: - Zero traction - Telling people "this is going to be big" and feeling like a fraud the second the words leave your mouth - Shrinking bank account - Friends buying houses / getting promotions while you explain to your mom why you still don't have a "real job" The imposter voice gets loudest at 3 AM: "Am I delusional?" "Can I actually pull this off?" "Am I really built for this?" Everyone around you might doubt it quietly, but the real killer is when you start doubting yourself. The truth: Yes, you can. Yes, you are that guy. But belief has to come before proof. You have to choose to back yourself hard when the scoreboard says zero, because that's exactly when most people quit. Those empty years aren't wasted. They're forging the version of you that can handle the win when it finally hits. Keep showing up. Stay obsessed. Never ever give up. The breakthrough comes after the doubt has tried to kill you a hundred times.

Needed to figure out what our next hire does to monthly payroll cost at @ImagineAI. Old way: export data, open spreadsheet, build formulas. New way: typed one sentence into @Rippling AI. Had a full breakdown with projections in 30 seconds. First AI feature in an HR tool that actually gets it. 🔥
