I wrote a Notion guide on what I would do differently as a founder if I were to start from scratch: I talk about equity, fundraising, raising money, taxes, hiring & paying my team, running finance, selling secondaries & exiting Leave a comment & I'll DM you a copy

@willob All of these are fair points, except epstein stuff, cause it's 1000% clear that Trump told Bongino/Kash to not do anything about it cause he's deep in the files.

This guy is not a serious person Zero serious action on disclosure for Epstein, “See you in Valhalla”, and now a Liverpool tie in a testimony on Capitol Hill Get rid of him please

@sporadica @knowclarified It's not cap. It's literally public info. Yall can literally find their appfigures/sensortower data. 2 things can be true: 1. Cal AI does 40M in run rate yearly bootstrapped 2. Doing the course is not a good idea for them

@knowclarified 🧢

Making $3m a month but has to release a scam course to make money Something is off I tell ya

@itsolelehmann @draslan_eth @alexsllater It’s literally the corporate tag on his account . Cmon yall, do at least 10s of scrolling 🫠

and now I’m giving everyone access to our platform which has almost 20k faceless creators in every niche. everyone could go viral now from their basement. comment “viral” and I’ll DM you.

everyone wants to know how i scaled RIZZ app to 5B+ organic views. people were tweeting threads trying to break down my strategy. finally i’m revealing exactly how I did it:

@maneetks Backbone

9,347 part iterations, 32 research studies, and 1,167 days later, I’m proud to introduce Backbone Pro. The last gaming product you’ll ever need. What's the future of gaming? For 3 years, we’ve obsessed over this question, and built a team from Apple, Meta, and Google. Our answer: A single game controller and app that works across phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, Meta Quest, Vision Pro. All without a console. Any game, on any screen, anywhere. Why now? Music and TV moved to streaming, and gaming is next. Last week, LG announced that you can stream Xbox games on all their new TVs without a console. You can now play games on every screen. Soon, gamers will identify more with controllers than with consoles. After all, you’ll need something to control all those screens. 400 million game controllers exist in the world today. But they were all made primarily for use with a single console. Nobody has changed this in 15+ years. Backbone Pro is more than just a controller. It’s the next gaming platform, built to make gaming accessible to everyone. Play whatever, wherever. No complex setup. One device instead of five. How it works: Building great devices is hard. Microsoft spent $100M designing the Xbox One controller. Backbone Pro is the smallest, most comfortable handheld gaming device ever made. Much like the Switch 2, it offers two ways to play: Handheld Mode, where your phone is physically connected via USB-C for low latency and no charging required; and Wireless Mode, connecting via Bluetooth for gaming from a distance. It pairs instantly with tablets, laptops, VR headsets, & smart TVs. Backbone's FlowState Technology lets you switch between them like AirPods. No pairing menus. Just tap and play. Combined with the Backbone app - your universal hub for mobile, cloud, console, and retro games - you can play everything from Xbox, App Store, Steam, & Netflix games all in one place. What we’ve accomplished so far: 1. Partnered with PlayStation, Xbox, & Kojima 2. Sold in Apple Stores, Best Buy, Target, Walmart 3. Hit top 5 in our App Store category last holiday 4. Featured in Apple’s iPhone 16 keynote 5. Raised $40M from Index & Adjacent (backed Discord, Roblox) If you've read this far, I want to thank you with a gift 👇 At 21, as a Google intern, I made a viral slide deck about gaming being the most underrated opportunity in the next 10 years and emailed it to the top vice presidents. 15% of the company read it. That deck turned into Backbone. Since then, over the last 5+ years, I’ve been lucky to learn directly from the best: CEOs from companies like Discord, Oura, and Notion. The minds behind AirPods, Oculus, and Xbox. Creators like MrBeast, Preston, and Zoe Unlimited. They shared the stuff no one talks about publicly - the real secrets behind iconic consumer products. I put all those lessons into one private doc: How to build world-class consumer products Retweet this & comment “Backbone” and I’ll send you the Google Drive link for free.

@jspujji Deck

I bootstrapped Ampush to ~$30M in annual revenue with exactly one sales rep doing pure outbound. The wild part? That rep delivered the same 14-slide deck more than 800 times, word for word. I just dug the deck out of my Dropbox. It’s almost embarrassingly simple. And it flat-out worked. Want a copy? Comment DECK below and I’ll send you the slides that took us from $0 → $20M. (make sure we’re connected)

@alexoakdev Can I have access

I just spent over an hour roasting an app from one of my group members😭 And it was surprisingly good... I sent the detailed feedback to my private group. I'm confident he can double his MRR with these tips. Comment if you want to access this or have your own app roasted by me.

@InTheMoneyAdam @SMB_path @gannonbreslin @zach_yadegari this is the most obvious thing in the world. He wants to go for 1. making friends 2. girls. anything else (networking, academics, etc.) he doesn't need

If he wants to go to college to further his success, it’s a waste of time. If he wants to go to college to further his education and challenge himself intellectually, he better be looking toward grad school and beyond with the expectation that it will likely cause drag on his business.

@mahasr199 @MacroTactical Yup. Would not be surprised if this was the case

@RobbieRusso100 @MacroTactical makes sense. wouldn't be surprised if deal structured where it has publicity clause ( he earns equity from being face + pushing it) . win / win for both.

These Whop numbers are wild. They are crushing it.

@0iPoetry @mahasr199 @MacroTactical Because it's branding + for publicity. Saying I'm an "investor" doesn't pop out as much to people on money twitter as saying "I'm a co-owner" . It's same thing except Iman is gonna be publicize / be part of ads & maybe some partnership type incentives too potentially, as a celeb

@RobbieRusso100 @mahasr199 @MacroTactical That sounds about right but how does that give him the ability to say he's a co-founder? Why would he be so vocal about a 3-5% stake

@mahasr199 @MacroTactical Whop has raised VC for a while. Last year when they were at 80M GMV a month, they raised at 800M valuation. If Iman invested 5-20M, he likely has 1-5% stake at most.

@MacroTactical yea i guess he invested into it. wonder what valuation cause those guys raised vc last year. and yea digi goods are printing

@LoganTGott @whop cofounder is overstepping it. Whop raised at 800M valuation last year, and Iman probably invested 5-20M, to acquire single digit stake

Iman Gadzhi is a cofounder of @whop now?? Whop is going crazy lately

@drawingsymbols Neil’s been right more often than not . Obv not a given , but good probable bet to make w/rt to $mvis .

@neilsbhatia @amitisinvesting What about $prph ?

@amitisinvesting $BRPHF $CORZ likely multiples over 24-36mos. 2x in 2025 $CRML $RCAT $MVIS $ACHR

I HAVE A QUESTION. What’s the most obvious double to you right now in the stock market over the course of 2-3 years? Part of the reason I began deeply studying $GRAB is because I believe it can double in 2 years. My PT is $10 by 2027. Unfortunately, the hype over the weekend made people think it would double in a week, but that’s obviously not how things work. Towards the end of 2024, I began really trying to figure out what the next play for me would be. $PLTR had done very well, $HOOD did very well, but those plays are not asymmetric anymore. The $GRAB options I have ($7.5/$10 call debit spreads) will 7x by 2027 if the underlying 2x’s. It’s not easy, but at this stage of life and given my current portfolio, it was the most asymmetric bet I could reasonably take on a company I had deeply studied — I would be pretty happy with a 7x in 2 years. Even if the option 3-4x’s in 2 years if $GRAB hits $8 instead of $10, I would be very happy. The reason I made this play is because I think in this market post the 2yr bull run, finding a double is not easy. In 2023: $RKLB, $HOOD, $SOFI, $PLTR and many more doubled/tripled/quadrupled and even 10x’ed from their lows. We’re not in that market anymore. We probably can’t get use to a stock going up 400% in a year. The Mag 7 are great and I own many of them, but they are more cornerstones of a portfolio to lean on vs advancing the portfolio. I don’t think $GOOGL or $AMZN will take my portfolio to the next level, but I do expect a hopeful 15-20% gain from them this year. The Mag 7 are safe, but they won’t easily double either, which is why I began looking to emerging markets and companies that had been essentially left for dead post IPO and that is where I found $GRAB. Again, the fintwit folks who wanted it to 10x in a month likely won’t get that but if they missed out on the 2023 lows of companies that have done incredible well then trying to find one that can 10x in this market won’t be easy. So the question remains…what stock do you think from these prices can double over the course of 2-3 years?
