i am insanely excited to host this event if you've been wanting to try sohn but can't wait in their long lines, i'm partnering with them to host a late night jazzy coworking session! there will be banana oat matcha/hojicha, tea, coffee, pastries, popcorn chicken, AND outlets for every seat 🤩 this will be a pretty intimate event since space is limited, but if it's popular we'll do it again :) comment if you want to come & i'll dm the link! @reductoai @brickywhat @JaySahnan @browserbase

@BryanOffutt I can predict today and a hundred years from now, everything in between is speculation

IMO any AI prediction piece that makes guesses about a timeframe greater than one year in the future is just pure clickbait.

@matt_slotnick @tryterac

is there an AI version of wynter to simulate user feedback and messaging testing

@jeffreyhuber @yonadavl already on it!

should i build an open-source version of this? if yes - like this post

@cory 🐐

bought a new domain

@dlnrb @garrytan @ycombinator Congrats!

Excited to finally come out of stealth and share what we've been building! Introducing Autonomous — a superintelligent financial advisor at 0% advisory fees. We just announced our $15M fundraise led by @garrytan @ @ycombinator along with some other amazing investors! Get early access → becomeautonomous.com We are hiring across multiple roles in NYC and SF @a____t____g

@bonatsos @generalcatalyst Congrats Niko and excited to see what you do next!

After 15 wonderful years @generalcatalyst I am moving on to new adventures. The best days for GC are ahead! Super grateful to every single one of my teammates that I had the fortune to work with over the years. I learned a lot. Very thankful to our limited partners too for their long-term support. Equally importantly, it's been the privilege of a lifetime to work with so many inspiring tech startup founders from the very early days.

@BrendanFoody @tryterac

in 2026, someone is going to build an API for McKinsey

@imightbemary The issue is there's no "closing the loop" on any data-related request, luckily we have @yonadavl to the rescue!

A weird contradiction of the data profession is how hard it is to say what people are actually using data for. This makes watching streams of questions floating to analytics agents especially fascinating, and just about the best view into user intent we've ever had.

Thanks @joshdzieza and the team at @verge for chatting on the state of data spend in AI!

@shomikghosh21 @arifj @arifj is the GOAT

Congrats to @arifj Epic 2025 🥳 1⃣ServiceNow acquiring Moveworks for $2.85B 2⃣Netskope IPO at $8.8B 3⃣Navan IPO at $6.7B Insane, baked long time ago but all in 1 year 🤯

@bonatsos Seeing this now and it's amazing, crazy speed of execution nowadays for young AI-natice founders!

First-time founders: zero baggage, infinite audacity. Watching them ship what seasoned folks overthink? Pure magic!

@rak_garg College dropouts is so 2024, high school dropouts are in

BREAKING: YC starts a 2+2 program to compete with HBS, Stanford GSB, and Wharton.

@balajis @jmelaskyriazi The constant pushing of these graphs has done more harm to founders than anything in recent memory

I was a bit confused by the quote tweeted chart. Were there really that many AI companies making $100M in 3.5 years, that it was only a top quartile thing, given that ChatGPT is only three years old? I spoke to @jmelaskyriazi and he said his quartile graph is not an empirical cohort chart. That is, it’s not taking the revenue trajectories of 1000 AI companies and then showing that the top 250 hit $100M ARR in 3.5 years. It is instead an extrapolation of growth rates based on three buckets (he has a post on his methodology). Without meaning any offense, I think this extrapolation could be misleading. Because a true cohort chart that includes the countless AI startups that don’t ever make it to $1M ARR would show that getting to $100M ARR in 3.5 years is still amazing, and not merely a top 25% phenomenon. Probably at least top 5% if not top 1%, depending on what counts as an AI startup. That’s because the companies that quickly hit $100M ARR are typically ones whose names you know, like Midjourney and Cursor (see graph below). Moreover, Replit and OpenAI, impressive as they are, wouldn’t qualify because they were founded way more than three years ago. So: if you’re a founder, yes, getting to $100M ARR in 3.5 years is still phenomenal. And getting to $72M ARR in 5 years is also phenomenal, particularly if you can maintain strongly positive margins. Even with inflation, these are tough numbers to hit.

@sergeykarayev 🤫🤫🤫

Incredible that no AI voice app has the feature I want, which is to speak uninterrupted for as long as I want and only receive a response when I say "what do you think?" Does one exist, or am I going to have to build it?

@ataiiam This is awesome @ataiiam!

CopilotKit 🤝 Deepmind Introducing the Open Gemini Canvas. A boilerplate application & tutorial for building fullstack Agent apps We walk through how to take this boilerplate, and build two custom fullstack agent apps. One social media post generator, and one GitHub stack analyzer. 🔗Repo & tutorial

@willccbb @zacbakerr to the rescue!

would be sick if mercor would let you hire people via more of a taskrabbit model instead of it needing to be part of a big “data partnership”. like what if i just wanna pay $200 to talk to an egyptologist for an hour and see what’s up with that whole thing. who’s building this

@sigalitperelson @benscharfstein Looking spiffy!

I knew it would be worth it to invest in a wedding tux @benscharfstein🤵‍♂️

@petergyang Paging @maybeTuring

Voice is such a game changer for AI yet nobody has built the perfect "agentic" voice tool yet. 1. ChatGPT: Interrupts me too much when I want to monologue. 2. Claude: Last I tried it, it required tapping the screen to respond each time which defeats hands-free purpose. 3. @WisprFlow / @superwhisper: Both very good (I recently start using Wispr Flow more) but neither can control your email or productivity apps. Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini are probably closest to achieving Matt's idea below.

@NadimHossain Only if they manage to beat me

@RyanMWexler Surprise Term sheet for every PM?

Lazywebs, any suggestion for an outdoor fun team activity for ~25 people in SF next month? Is Sailing viable for a group that size??
