@pmitu We’re on a mission help the 46% of Gen Z who find investing too intimidating, start with their first $20. We don’t charge any commissions or fees so it’s never been easier to start investing in what you know.

@pmitu Tinder for stocks. You don’t need to spend $100s-$1000s on investment advisors. Just invest in the companies you already buy from. Build your personal portfolio by swiping on companies like Tinder.

Sell me your startup

@rxhit05 Make it work. Then make it pretty. If it’s ugly and useful it’s still useful. If it’s pretty and useless, it’s still useless.

When building an app, what do you make first? The Ul or the backend logic??

@cinamarina The same reason your boyfriend does. It can’t read your mind

Why does AI still sometimes struggle to understand what we want? 😳

@andrewchen Would love to join

@johnwalters_sd @jacob_posel By adding some vague language to their terms of service agreement that 99% of users have never read. I’m sure you read the whole thing though right😘

@PorterHeigis @jacob_posel You heard that huh? How exactly does that make any sense to you?

Codex is better than Claude Code for software development. A lot better.

@techsaleshackz If the past tells us anything, most of those companies will go to 0, but the ones that win are going to be world changers

If you're on the job hunt, here's a wide variety of start-ups I'd look at: Anthropic Cursor Conductor Icon Cognition Clay Harvey General Counsel Langchain Agency Profound Factory Juice box Eleven labs Matic robotics Momentic Reality defender Chroma Dust Adaptive security doppel Open router Physical intelligence Decagon

@Samaytwt No honestly. Let’s stop grouping all ai assisted coding into “vibe coding”

Unpopular opinion: If you can't code, you can't vibe code.

@pmarca aka 0 problem to solve

Overheard in Silicon Valley: "There's a certain kind of company that has market/investor fit."

The speed advantage that one or two guys with a laptop and an obsession have over large corporations is insanely under appreciated. The giants are slow and full of people who leave the office at 5. Being small and obsessed is a superpower

@GTgotmotionn @RaduOcean @soy_muse Bro what are you talking about

@RaduOcean @PorterHeigis @soy_muse with this logic, every paid software has its open source alternative. why are those free?

Not enough people question why AI is free

@RaduOcean @soy_muse That’s awesome but your model will never be as capable in the current environment as the hosted models.

@PorterHeigis @soy_muse A locally run AI

@pcshipp I think the word “execution” is thrown around too much without enough explanation of what that actually means for new founders. That word alone doesn’t translate into physical activities or processes. I think a good start it Focus × Speed × Persistence = Execution

1% idea, 99% execution that’s a startup

@om_patel5 It’s that a native feature now

THIS GUY ADDED A LIVE BROWSER TO CLAUDE CODE SO YOU CAN CLICK ANY ELEMENT AND EDIT IT INSTANTLY biggest issue with vibe coding UI is that you have to describe what you want to change. if you prompt it the wrong selector or wrong component, Claude can't find it. now you just click it. your app runs in an embedded browser with Claude Code. you can click any button, any text, any div. Claude instantly knows exactly what you're pointing at. click. instruct. done. no more "change the button in the top right corner of the second card component." all you have to do now is just click the button. AND its open source

@kylejeong What are your top 3 distribution tips?

founders who can't capture attention are going to fail your product being 10% better means nothing if nobody sees it. distribution beats engineering. getting your product in front of real users and building something people naturally want to share matters more than your 10th Waterloo hire. the real differentiator in startups is understanding human psychology and how to move people. in a world drowning in AI slop, taste and viral sense are the new moat.

84% of people have never used AI. less than 1% pay for it. and you’re out here pitching them on “openclaw” and “AI agents.” CEOs don’t care about the tech. they care about spending less time on repetitive BS. getting paid faster. booking more jobs. cutting admin work. every time I’ve gotten someone to lean into AI it wasn’t because I explained the stack. it was because I described their day back to them and showed them what goes away. every company has the budget. they feel the urgency. they don’t have the internal person. so be the one who shows up speaking their language! not twitters.. bookmark this. happy to answer questions below !
